Domiciliary dental care (DDC) is a specialized dental service provided at patients' residences, especially for medically compromised patients. The importance of DDC has been highlighted in aging and super-aged societies. Confronted with burdens of a super-aged society, governmental efforts have promoted DDC in Taiwan. To provoke awareness of DDC in healthcare professionals, a series of continuing medical education (CME) lessons on DDC for dentists and nurse practitioners were organized between 2020 and 2021 at a tertiary medical center and demonstrating center of DDC in Taiwan, during which 66.7% of participants were very satisfied. Through political and educational efforts of the government and medical centers, an increasing number of healthcare professionals participating in DDC was observed, including both those in hospitals and those who were primary care practitioners. CME modules may promote DDC and improve the accessibility to dental care for medically compromised patients.
居家牙科护理（DDC）是一项在患者家中提供的专业牙科服务，尤其针对有医疗问题的患者。在老龄化和超老龄化社会中，DDC的重要性得到了凸显。面对超老龄化社会的负担，台湾地区的政府部门已推动了DDC服务。为提高医疗保健专业人员对DDC的认识，2020年至2021年间，在台湾一家三级医疗中心和DDC示范中心为牙医和执业护士组织了一系列关于DDC的继续医学教育（CME）课程，在此期间，66.7%的参与者非常满意。通过政府和医疗中心的政治及教育努力，参与DDC的医疗保健专业人员数量不断增加，其中包括医院工作人员和基层医疗从业者。CME模块可能会促进DDC，并改善有医疗问题患者获得牙科护理的机会。
