  • cleft lip and/or palate
  • irregular face and head bone growth (craniofacial anomalies)
  • buried teeth
  • gum problems
  • problems with the skin inside your mouth and the bones supporting your teeth

A child may be referred to the paediatric dentistry department by:

  • a dental practice
  • a community dental care service
  • a primary care specialist
