Medwell Ventures led Nightingales Home HealthServices has launched dentistry at-home in Hyderabad with leading dentists of the city. The announcement was made by Dr. Mridula Radhakrishnan, lead dental care, Nightingales Home HealthServices and Dr. Jwala Chaitanya, renowned Dental Surgeon, Hyderabad.
“Dental heath can indicate the overall health of a person. This is an initiative from Nightingales to increase awareness about dental care. Due to sedentary lifestyle people hardly enjoy work-life balance; hence we made dental assessments and treatments accessible to those in need,” said Dr. Mridula Radhakrishnan, lead dental care, Nightingales Home HealthServices.
Meanwhile, Sudhaker Jadhav, Regional Head, Nightingales Home Health Services, noted, “Nightingales is equipped to handle dental treatments at home. With our technical expertise in the field of dentistry, our dentists can treat not only tooth extractions, temporary restoration but even simple Root Canal Procedures at home.”
Significantly, a recent report of the National Oral Health Programme states that 95 per cent of adults in India suffer from gum diseases and 50 per cent of adults do not use a toothbrush. The program also reports that 70 per cent of children under the age of 15 have dental decay problems.
Nightingales has been in the home health sector since 1996 in Bangalore. Post the acquisition of the company by Medwell ventures, it has developed a strong focus on specialty home healthcare services in chronic diseases including pulmonology, cardiology, neurology, metabolic diseases, orthopedics, geriatrics and post-operative rehabilitation making it India’s leading home health company.
The company has introduced additional services including remote health monitoring, tele-health, diagnostics, rehabilitation and wellness therapeutics and has aims to establish a home healthcare delivery network in 10 Indian metro clusters and increase its subscriber base to over 500,000 families.
