What we do
We are a small team providing facilities for dental treatment under general anaesthetic, sedation or local anaesthetic, providing care through the whole of the patient’s journey. This includes:
- Assessment over the phone or in person
- Care in the unit on the day of surgery, pre and post with post discharge care/advice
Overnight care is not provided and it is essential that patients being treated in the department:
- have access to a telephone
- have a responsible adult to collect them from the unit and take them home
- go home by car or taxi (with the responsible person) not by public transport
- children under 16 to have two adults if going home by car
- have someone to look after them for 24 hours after discharge home
- live within one hour of the hospital (unless prearranged)
- be registered with a GP
