Portable dental equipment

Equipment designed to be transported for assessment or selected care outside a fixed clinic. Its availability does not make every procedure suitable at home; power, water, lighting, positioning, infection control and referral access still matter.

Why this term matters

  1. Use it to understand where care may take place.
  2. Ask whether it changes the equipment, consent, fees or referral needed.
  3. Write down the agreed next step before booking.
