Dental Care 16+

Description

Community-based dental services
We are a consultant-led service providing specialist care on referral for adults aged 16 and over who fit our referral criteria. To fit the criteria, the patient must have a severe disability, medical or mental health condition which results in:

severe difficulty communicating, giving consent and/or co-operating with treatment
complex medical condition with significant risk of medical emergency, bleeding or healing problems
inability to weight bear and transfer into the dental chair without use of special equipment
severe and enduring mental health problems with unusual altered thought, extreme mood and behaviour which restricts the provision of care.

We provide dental services for people across the Birmingham, Sandwell, Dudley and Walsall areas. Patients outside of these areas should be referred to their local community dental services. Specialist facilities such as sedation, general anaesthetic, wheelchair recliner, transfer equipment, bariatric chair, cognitive behavioural therapy are available at selected sites.

Facilities for treatment within hospital setting with medical support are available at Queen Elizabeth, Edgbaston, and Russell’s Hall.
