London NHS Paediatric Dentistry referral services

Unless urgent, all paediatric dental referrals should be made via the standard London NHS dental paediatric pathway, which is via the Community Dental Service (CDS) providers. Patients are triaged and either treated within CDS or referred on to an appropriate hospital service provider. 

The NHS communication from 22 March 2017 set out these pathway arrangements (and includes the list and contacts for CDS providers in London). 

The NHS pan-London paediatric dentistry referral form should be used to make referrals.

There is also a list of hospital providers of NHS paediatric dental services.
