Wolverhampton Special Care Dental Clinic

Wolverhampton Special Care Dental Clinic offers comprehensive NHS dental care tailored for individuals who may find it challenging to access general dental services. The clinic serves children and adults with severe learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders, physical disabilities—including wheelchair users—severe mental health issues, dental phobia, substance misuse, and those from socially excluded groups. Elderly residents in care homes, looked-after children, and children with high treatment needs are also among those cared for. Operating from multiple locations in Wolverhampton, including Pendeford Health Centre at Whitburn Close, WV9 5NJ, the clinic provides domiciliary visits for housebound patients and utilizes a mobile dental unit to reach special needs schools. Services encompass cognitive behavioural therapy, inhalation sedation, general anaesthetic, and oral health promotion. Referrals can be made by patients, carers, general dental practitioners, GPs, or other healthcare professionals. For urgent out-of-hours emergencies, patients are advised to call 111.
