Paediatric and Special Community Dental Service

The Paediatric and Special Community Dental Service, located at 121 Westferry Road in Isle of Dogs, London, is part of the Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust. This practice is dedicated to providing a wide range of dental services tailored to meet the needs of diverse patient groups, particularly those who may face challenges accessing traditional dental care.

The service excels in Community Dental Services, catering to patients who require specialist intervention or home visits due to various circumstances. With a network of 17 sites and a mobile dental unit, they ensure that dental care is accessible to all, regardless of their situation.

Special Care Dentistry is a key focus, offering adapted dental care for individuals with social, psychological, or physical disabilities. This includes comprehensive treatment for patients with complex medical histories or those who may struggle to cooperate with standard dental procedures.

Additionally, the practice provides Outreach Dental Services across North East London, promoting oral health through initiatives such as fluoride varnish programmes and supervised tooth brushing. Their Domiciliary Dental Service is designed for patients unable to visit a dental surgery, delivering essential treatments directly to those in need.

Referrals to the service can be made by GPs, dentists, or other healthcare professionals, and self-referrals are also welcomed under certain guidelines. The dedicated team is available to assist with inquiries and referrals, ensuring that every patient receives the care they deserve.
