NHS Gloucestershire Community Dental Services
The Special Care and Paediatric Referral Service is a unique dental practice focused on providing specialised care for patients with physical and/or learning disabilities, as well as those with mental health and emotional conditions. They work collaboratively with patients, families, and healthcare professionals to ensure appropriate NHS dental care. The practice is distinguished by its calm and patient approach, making it a safe environment for those who may require extra support during dental treatments. Their commitment to gentle care sets them apart from typical high street dental practices.
Patient Insights
What Patients Appreciate
Patients appreciate the fantastic, friendly staff who create a welcoming atmosphere. The team is known for their calm and patient demeanour, which is especially comforting for special needs patients. Many feel reassured by the gentle treatment they receive, making dental visits a more positive experience.
Things to Consider
As a referral-only service, potential patients should be aware that they will need to be referred by a healthcare professional to access care. This may limit availability for those seeking immediate dental services without a referral. Additionally, the focus on special care may mean that the practice is not equipped for general dental needs.
