A mobile dental unit is disclosed which provides physical support for dental operations during a long period of time when the operations are conducted in remote or out-of-office areas. A wheeled cabinet defines a lower compartment containing a source of compressed air, a vacuum chamber and a vacuum pump. The upper compartment contains a storage space, a pressurizable water reservoir, and an amalgamator. The source of compressed air illustrated here is a tank of the variety offered for use in self-contained underwater breathing apparatus. This source tank provides air for direct use in dental operations and also operates the pneumatic drives of dental handpieces. A patient support structure can be associated with the unit to permit an infirm patient to be treated in a supine position.
