Are you a dentist interested in helping patients who truly need your care? Are you a dentist looking to own your own practice without the stress of a traditional practice? Are you looking for more free time and flexibility, plus the chance to spend quality time with patients? Consider the emerging field of dental home care. The ResiDENTAL Movement exists to encourage, equip and empower dentists to begin offering in-home dental care to patients who need it most - patients with limited mobility, phobias, cognitive impairment, and special needs. These patients need dental care while they remain in their own residences. Tune in while the host, Dr. Ashleigh Robinson, talks dentistry, business, ethics, mindset, and more to help you become a part of ResiDENTAL Movement.

In the world of dentistry, going above and beyond for patients is not just a nice gesture—it's a calling. As a dentist who truly cares about the well-being of your patients, you already strive to provide them with the best possible care. But have you ever considered what it means to go above and beyond as a house-call dentist? This week I want to explore some unique opportunities and recommendations to elevate your patient's or fut...

This week I wanted to address the one question I have been getting the most recently! Many of you have written in and asked how I both planned and carried out my maternity leave recently. As a solo dental practitioner, taking maternity leave came with its unique set of challenges and considerations. In this episode, we'll dive into some insights and valuable lessons for anyone facing a leave or similar situation. Solo practitioners...
This week’s episode is inspired by a conversation I had with a fellow Dentist this past weekend. Mind you this was by no means a planned chat or networking event. My husband Chris, baby Robinson, and I traveled to the Long Island area of New York for a jiu-jitsu tournament that Chris was competing in. Typically, jiu-jitsu is the least violent martial art. There’s no kicking, no punching, and it isn’t bloody. But as luck would have...
On Today’s episode of the Residential Movement Podcast, we have a special guest, Dr. Ellie Halabian, the founder of the Teeth Matter Podcast, a community for dentists navigating the challenging career path of dentistry. Dr. Halabian's journey from public health to various dental settings in New York City reflects the quest for work-life harmony shared by many house-call dentists. In this episode, she breaks down her transition from...
When people first discover that I’m working as a house-call dentist the first question they often ask is if I have a van. Well, the truth is up until this past week I didn't have a van. My patients require care in their homes and would not benefit from a mobile dental unit. One of the huge benefits of starting a dental house-call practice is the minimal initial investment required compared to starting a traditional brick-and-mortar...
Regular listeners to The ResiDential Movement Podcast know how much I enjoy reading and how continued reading and education shape both my worldview and my House-Call Practice. In fact, in October 2023 I dedicated an entire episode to how reading can make us more informed and empathetic Practitioners. In this week's episode, I wanted to share my thoughts on a book I recently finished, 'Die With Zero' by Bill Perkins. This incredible...
This week, The ResiDental Movement Podcast returns after a few weeks off to welcome Baby Robinson into our family and household. Initially, I did not plan on taking a break from the podcast, but I quickly discovered what any parent already knows, babies take a lot of work and a lot of time and energy! My sincerest thanks to the audience for their understanding during my brief hiatus. My perspective on what constitutes 'real work' h...
In this special episode of The ResiDental Movement Podcast, I sit down with Joyce Go from Enable Dental for an in-depth chat about portable dentistry and the opportunities it presents for dental professionals. Joyce has nearly ten years of experience in the portable dentistry space. She is very passionate about meeting the oral health needs of the underserved. In the past, Joyce has coordinated dental outreaches in underserved part...
This week I wanted to give you a peek behind the scenes of how these podcast episodes come together. When you listen to an episode, it's not always recorded on the same day. There's editing and coordination involved, especially when I have guests on the show. But I've got some awesome guest episodes coming up for you soon. I usually try to make the podcast episodes timeless, so they're helpful whenever you listen to them.
But toda...
This past week, I had the honor of speaking to students at my wonderful alma mater, The University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. It's funny how things change! After graduating, I never thought I'd be back there so soon. However, I was invited to speak to dental students about House-Call Dentistry, and how it transformed my life. This year's presentation was extra special as one of the students told me she had already heard ...
In this episode, I want to delve into a burning question I got from a recent graduate of the Dental House Call Practice Academy (DHCPA). The topic revolved around the challenge of managing the multitude of tasks inherent in running a Dental House-Call Practice. The grad, clearly aware of the intricacies involved, sought advice on staying organized and avoiding overwhelm. Building a Dental House-Call Practice is no small feat, and I...
In this episode, I want to delve into the topic of choosing the right lab for your House-Call Dental Practice. I've found that selecting the right lab is crucial for ensuring a positive experience for my patient's long-term care and overall wellness. I’ve taken some time to break down an outline to highlight some key factors to consider when choosing a lab for your future or current practice.
This week I want to address a common question and even critique that I often hear about House-Call Dentistry. Colleagues and fellow Docs often quip…”Don’t you feel like you are wasting your time driving to patient's homes every day”?
Personally speaking, I absolutely love my drive time as a House-Call Dentist, and I want to share with you why it's far from a waste! Despite a couple of recent fender benders, driving in Buffalo is ge...
This week I’m so excited to welcome Cathy Grinham to the show for a wonderful conversation about mobile dentistry and new advancements in mobile scanning technology. Cathy is a Mobile Public Health, Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) in Massachusetts.

I recently had a great conversation with a listener who's working at an FQHC and is considering her next career move after fulfilling her student loan forgiveness agreement. She's passionate about serving patients in need but is feeling burnt out by the demands of public health. If you're listening to this podcast, chances are you're also dedicated to providing dental care to underserved communities, possibly in a public health set...
I'm really grateful that you are taking the time to tune in this week, especially during this busy time of year!
Last week, I talked about reflecting on your dental house call practice's performance and setting goals for the new year. This week, I want to share my personal reflection on the ResiDENTAL Movement with you. I reached my 2023 goals, but more importantly, it helped me set goals for the community in the coming year.
In 2...
As the New Year approaches I’m so grateful for a season of reflection and planning for how my house-call practice can both grow and serve members of my community. The New Year is always an ideal time to examine best practices for both tracking and evaluating where your house-call practice is going in 2024.
In this episode, I want to address the importance of conducting an end-of-year reflection on dental practices. I hope to emph...
Are you considering starting your own dental house-call practice but are unsure of the demand in your area? Don't worry, I've been there too! When I started AccommoDental, I wasn't sure if there would be enough demand for house calls. But let me tell you, there is a significant need for this service. While demand refers to the number of people actively seeking a service, it's important to understand that need and demand are not alw...
Recently, here in my hometown of Buffalo, NY, we’ve had some snow. Now I'm sure that comes as little surprise to anyone who knows anything about Buffalo! I'm usually not the type to complain as soon as snow falls, but I want to mention the weather because the recent snow made me a bit nervous. Normally, I love snow. I enjoy skiing and think it's pretty, but this year feels different. However being pregnant, I can't go skiing, and w...
