Additional Needs
If you’re looking for a dentist in your area you can search for a dentist on the NHS inform website.
Alternatively, contact your local Childsmile Coordinator.
Support to safely brush teeth for an individual with additional support needs should be collaborative and involve the child, their parents, and other professionals e.g. Speech and Language Therapists and School Nurses, when required.
For more information visit our Additional Support Needs page or contact your local Childsmile Coordinator.
A directory of dental services can also be found at NHS Inform.
You should discuss food allergies with an appropriate health professional e.g. your Health Visitor, GP or nutritionist. For more information on healthy food and drinks, visit the food and drinks for healthy teeth section of the Childsmile website.
