    Please note:

    Please include as much information as possible to enable the urgency of this referral to be assessed. If you wish to discuss your referral with a senior clinician, please call the dental clinic on 0300 421 6440.

    The Community Dental Service will only accept patients who meet the criteria for Special Care Dentistry - there is no guarantee this patient can be accepted for care. After the referral has been triaged, if the patient is accepted, they will be placed on a waiting list for an initial assessment either by telephone or appointment as appropriate

    Based on current guidelines, GCS Dental Service is unable to accept children requiring general anaesthesia for orthodontic extractions unless the treatment plan includes the removal of permanent molar teeth. These cases will still be assessed on an individual basis.

    GCS Dental Service does not carry out conservation of children’s teeth under GA (unless there is a special care need) and, in line with the guidance from the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry, it should be explained to carers of all referred children that undergoing a GA would usually indicate radical extractions of all decayed teeth so that further GA’s may be prevented in the future.

    It is the responsibility of referring dentist to continue to provide both Preventive and Urgent care until we are able to see the patient. If you wish to discuss your referral with a Senior Clinician, please call the Dental Clinic on 0300 421 6440. After the referral has been triaged, if the patient is accepted, they will be placed on a waiting list for an initial assessment appointment.
