Referral guidance for general dental practitioners & health or social care professionals
If you are a general dental practitioner or a health or social care professional and wish to make a referral – please download and complete the Community Dental Referral form, and email it to: cddft.
Our referral forms must be fully completed with as much detail as possible to aid appropriate triage. Failure to complete the referral form fully may lead to rejection of the referral or delay patient treatment.
If you are unable to email the referral, a printed copy can be sent in the post to: Dental Department, Park Place Health Centre, Darlington DL1 5LW. Please ensure that the referral form is typed rather than completed by hand.
Referral documents
Radiographs
High quality radiographs should be provided for all referrals. If radiographs are not included it must be indicated why they have not been provided. Radiographs should be uploaded on to the referral form or can be emailed as an attachment to our secure email address: cddft.
Printed radiographs will only be accepted if they are of a high quality and diagnostic and can be sent in the post to Dental Department, Park Place Health Centre, Darlington DL1 5LW . Radiographs should be less than 12 months old and all non-digital films will be returned to the referring practitioners once treatment is complete.
