Paediatric and Special Community Dental Service

The Paediatric and Special Community Dental Service, located at 106 South End Road in Rainham, Essex, is part of the Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust. This practice is dedicated to providing a comprehensive range of dental services tailored to meet the needs of diverse patient groups, including those who may struggle to access traditional NHS dentistry.

Specialising in community dental services, the practice offers full-range dental care for patients requiring specialist intervention or home visits. Their Special Care Dentistry programme is designed for individuals with social, psychological, or physical disabilities, ensuring that all patients receive the adapted care and support they need, particularly those with complex medical histories.

For patients unable to visit the practice, the Dental Domiciliary Service provides essential treatments at home, including fillings, denture provision, extractions, and cleaning. Additionally, the Emergency Dental Service, known as DentaLine, is available for urgent cases, addressing severe conditions such as heavy bleeding, injuries, and sudden pain outside of regular hours.

Referrals can be made by general dental practitioners or health professionals, and self-referral is also an option for eligible patients. The practice is committed to ensuring that everyone in the community has access to the dental care they require, making it a vital resource for residents in Havering and beyond. For more information, patients can contact the dental helpdesk or referral team during office hours.
