Sedation Referrals

An explanation of what we offer and who can be referred.

Who can be referred for sedation?

There are two options when referring a patient for sedation. You can refer a patient through our NHS service or privately. We have a list of criteria to determine who is suitable for a sedation referral. You can find this list of criteria, (which you can download or print), at the bottom of this page.

    X-rays

    Any referrals without the relevant x-rays will be rejected. We require PAs or an OPG for extraction referrals, and bitewings for restorative referrals as standard. X-rays must be of diagnostic quality and taken within a reasonable time frame. Patients who are uncooperative for intra-oral x-rays should be referred to a secondary care setting for an OPG prior to being referred to our service.
