title: Domiciliary dentistry: patient/dentist perspectives.
abstract: With an ageing population, and greater government emphasis on "Care in the Community", domiciliary visiting may become an increasingly important part of the GDP's repertoire. Domiciliary visits take the dentist out of the controlled surgery setting, and require careful preparation and some social adeptness if the clinical objectives are to be achieved. In this article the author discusses the issues and offers some practical advice.
