Special Care Dentistry
About Us
The Special
Care Dentistry team provide comprehensive care for patients aged 16
years old and above, with a wide range of complex additional needs
that seriously affect the provision of dental
care.
Patients
accepted for treatment within the department may receive a full
course of treatment, certain elements of care or single items of
treatment, in conjunction with the primary care
referrer.
Generally,
patients are not accepted for long term care within Bristol Dental
Hospital (BDH) and where possible there should be a shared care
with their primary care provider, either the referring General
Dental Practitioner (GDP) or the Primary Care Dental Service
(PCDS).
The referring
clinician continues to be responsible for urgent dental care,
preventive care/advice and subsequent monitoring. Once the
patient's treatment has been completed, they will be discharged to
either their referring dentist, asked to find a local dentist or
referred to Primary Care Dental services if deemed
eligible.
Acceptance of
a patient for an item or a course of treatment does not guarantee
that treatment will be carried out by a specific grade (or member)
of staff. The Special Care Department is involved in the Specialist
training programme and the patient may be treated by a Specialist
training registrar / specialty doctor under the supervision of a
Consultant in Special Care
Dentistry.
