The Department of Paediatric Dentistry at Guy’s Hospital

Introduction

Guy’s Hospital is part of the Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospital Foundation Trust, the largest in the NHS. The Department of Paediatric Dentistry is situated on Floor 22 of Guy’s HospitalTower. The main aims of the Department are:

  • The provision of excellent specialist services in paediatric dentistry.
  • The education and clinical training of postgraduate dental students and junior hospital dentists,
  • The pursuit of research and scholarship as applicable to supporting the best evidence - based patient care.

A specialist service is provided for a wide range of medically compromised patients, children with learning difficulty or physical disability, those with inherited anomalies of the dentition, and those with complex dental trauma. The Department provides extensive day case GA service for children requiring oral rehabilitation and minor oral surgical procedures.

In-patientGA service for children and adolescents with complex medical needs are provided at the Evelina London Children’s Hospital.

Guy’s Hospital is one of only 3 teaching hospitals in London which provides a walk-in A&E service for children and adolescents in acute pain or those requiring emergency management of dento-alveolar trauma. Referrals are accepted from general dental practitioners, general medical practitioners, paediatricians and other medical and dental specialists.

Current Services

The Department of Paediatric Dentistry at Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust has developed, over many years, a comprehensive range of in-patient, daycase and out-patient services for children and adolescents. The staff provide specialist services to the local communities in Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham. We also provide specialist services for patients from across London, the South East and further afield.

The range of specialty services provided by the department to children and adolescents include:

  • Preventive advice and therapy
  • Paediatric restorative dentistry
  • Paediatric minor oral surgery
  • Management of dental pain and anxiety
  • Management of children requiring inhalation sedation
  • Care of medically compromised children and adolescents
  • Care of children with disability/learning difficulty
  • Management of children and adolescents with oro-dental injury
  • Management of children and adolescents with complex dental anomalies/inherited disorders of the oral cavity and dentition
  • Management of paediatric oral pathology
  • Advice to paediatric clinics at the Evelina London:
  • Accident and emergency
  • Cardiology
  • Cleft lip and palate
  • Endocrinology
  • General paediatrics and child development
  • Haematology
  • Neurology
  • Infectious diseases
  • Intensive care and high dependency unit
  • Metabolic medicine
  • Nephrology and transplant service

This range of patients seen has allowed the Department to support the clinical training and education of postgraduates and junior staff as part of general professional training and specialisation as well as other postgraduate dentists. There is a full consultation service and specialist treatment for appropriate patients.

Delivery of Specialist Services

Specialist services in paediatric dentistry are provided to out-patients under local anaesthesia and inhalation sedation as appropriate.

The newly refurbished day-case general anaesthetic facility is situated on Floor 23, Tower Wing, where the paediatric dental team provide 6 day-case operating sessions per week for oral rehabilitation and minor oral surgery under general anaesthesia (GA), and 1 day-case operating session for exodontia.

There is also 1 weekly consultant-led in-patient GA session for children with complex medical disabilities at the Evelina London Children’s Hospital.

A multidisciplinary Hypodontia clinic is held weekly with our orthodontic and restorative colleagues.

Guy’s & St Thomas’ is a supra-regional Cleft Lip and Palate Centre and one of our part-time consultants in Paediatric Dentistry is a member of the multidisciplinary team supporting children with cleft lip and palate. She works in close association with the Plastic Surgeons, Orthodontists, Restorative Dentists, Oral Surgeons, Speech Therapists, etc.

The Department has become a major referral centre for children who sustain dento-alveolar injuries. These patients have complex paediatric dental needs and many require interdisciplinary care in the long-term.

Monthly multidisciplinary clinics are held with clinical genetics and orthodontics.

Facilities in the Department

The department has appropriate secretarial support, full library facilities in New Hunt’s House at the Guy’s campus, and research facilities.

The clinical facilities within the department include 13 dental units in the main clinical area. In addition, there are 5 dedicated Paediatric Dentistry surgeries each equipped for inhalation sedation. There are also two dental microscopes in the Department. The Orthodontic Department also has 13 dental units in the same clinical area which facilitates a very close working relationship between the two specialties.
