# CW London Community & Specialist Dental Service
CW London Community & Specialist Dental Service is an NHS-based dental provider specialising in complex oral healthcare for patients with disabilities and additional needs across London. Operating from their W1D 3HZ location, they serve two distinct populations: children from birth to 15 years, and adults aged 16 and over who cannot access treatment through standard general dental practice.
The service distinguishes itself through specialist expertise and tailored facilities. Their paediatric unit cares for children with physical, sensory, intellectual, mental, medical or emotional impairments, including those deemed uncooperative for conventional treatment. They employ experienced dental therapists and dentists with proven capability in paediatric sedation, supported by strong hospital partnerships for complex cases.
Their adult special care division serves individuals with comparable disabilities, providing treatment in an environment equipped with hoists, wheelchair tippers and sedation facilities. Both units conduct regular screening programmes in local special schools and run dedicated oral health promotion services.
What sets them apart is their holistic approach: they accept referrals from multiple professionals—not just dentists but doctors, social workers and community nurses—recognising the interconnected nature of special needs care. They offer home visits where appropriate, recognising accessibility barriers, and arrange transport for severely disabled patients unable to reach clinics independently. Their skilled, multi-disciplinary teams hold specialist qualifications specifically in special care dentistry, delivering person-centred care within a framework complying with NHS England's referral pathways.
