Becoming familiar with the resources available in our community before you need them is an investment in time that often pays rich dividends. I encourage you to begin by reviewing the Table of Contents. Also, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find on every page of this guide the phone number of Aging and Disability Services, (240) 777-3000. Calling this number will connect you to county staff members eager to help you respond to aging-related needs.

• CONVENIENT: For those family members that work/live out of the area. • COST SAVINGS: Good Oral hygiene can decrease the chance of a secondary infection, such as endocarditis/stroke. • AT-HOME SERVICE: Patients are seen in the comfort of their own environment. • BETTER HEALTH & MUCH HAPPIER: Patients start to eat more and gain weight, less discomfort in the mouth, and food tastes even better.

• An IMPROVED QUALITY of ORAL HEALTH CARE, LIFE and LOTS OF SMILES !!!

For FACILITIES:

“Senior Smile helped me when I needed to be fitted for new dentures. They were very efficient in giving me my smile back. I am really ecstatic about my teeth and glad that they exist.” - Billie Cook (Resident) (Frederick, MD)

• ADDED AMENITY: A Service appealing to future residents/families. • JOB SATISFACTION: Caregivers have fewer oral hygiene issues, such as halitosis, candidiasis, etc. • ON-SITE SERVICE: No one needs to take the patients out in inclement weather, such as snow, sleet and rain.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING “The Maryland State Dental Association referred Dr. Chaudhary when I really needed a dentist to help my homebound mother, who has Alzheimer’s disease. She was amazing on how she handled my mother and her equipment was very impressive.” - Joe Perron (Family) (Annapolis, MD)
