Dental PlatformI should consider myself lucky really. I am completely able-bodied, can get around without any kind of assistance and I`m not hindered when I visit new buildings for the first time. Other people aren`t quite as lucky as I am. They might have mobility issues and therefore rely on assistance from devices such as wheelchairs. Not all public places cater for wheelchairs though and this was brought to my attention the other day when I went to visit my local dentist. Sat at the reception desk was a lady in a wheelchair enquiring about treatment and it was plainly obvious that the surgery didn`t have facilities for disabled people. This was quite shocking, especially in the modern climate when a
Dental Platformis available. This low height unit allows people in wheelchairs to be treated without the need to move from their mobility aid. The wheelchair can be positioned within the
Dental Platformand then it can be gently reclined in a safe and controlled manner. This allows the dentist to work on the patient`s teeth as they sit in a comfortable position. I know I`m lucky in being able-bodied and I think the
Dental Platformis a fabulous idea that can be used in treatment rooms throughout the UK.
