Los Angeles, California-based Lumina HealthCare have just announced the signing of a new services contract with Redwood Healthcare Center. The new services contract will ensure a periodontal dentist is available at the bedside of Redwood Healthcare Center residents as they battle gum disease and other oral health ailments.

Working with a trusted periodontal dentist can help those in long-term care facilities protect their oral health. Bedside oral care is now a critical component of an effective long-term health strategy, and only by selecting the services of a trusted contract team can facilities ensure their patients are protected. The team at Lumina HealthCare lead the field in terms of on-site dental services and they’ve recently announced the signing of another service contract with the Redwood Healthcare Center.

The 44-bed facility in Oakland will now have access to top class periodontal dentist-led services including professional cleanings and examinations. Patients at the facility will also receive the highest quality in diagnostic care. Lumina HealthCare’s services team has access to a digital x-ray system that can be used directly at the bedside of the patient. This ensures that diagnostic work doesn’t impact the patient’s comfort and reduces the time it takes to determine the extent of any oral health issues the patient is experiencing.
