If you have been referred to our practice from your regular dentist, you can also be referred to Royal Dental Hospital , please contact your dentist directly for this.
If your child holds a current Health Care Card and is requiring treatment under general anaesthetic, you are able to go directly to the Royal Dental Hospital Paediatric department for treatment under the public dental health system without a referral as well Please note depending on funding , the waiting list for treatment could be fairly extensive so please contact them directly to enquire about the current waiting times.
