David Whittaker

Sedationist GMC No: 2833749

David studied medicine in the University of Wales College of Medicine, moving to London to study Anaesthetics. He found dental anaesthesia interesting very early on, cutting his teeth in the venerable Eastman Dental Hospital in Gray’s Inn Road WC1.

He has specialised in dental sedation since 1992 and is probably one of the most experienced ‘hands on’ sedationists in the country having worked full time in several specialist centres in the south east for more than thirty years.

He’s a big fan of travel, skiing and cooking.

Unfortunately NHS Commissioning standards have changed

We are now obliged to carry out all NHS treatment on under 12’s using inhalation sedation only.

This limits the types of treatment that we may be able to carry out on NHS contract, and regrettably we cannot guarantee that we will be able to complete all of the treatment you have been referred for.

We remain compliant with National ‘IACSD’ sedation guidelines which allow us the clinical freedom to use -where necessary -alternative ‘advanced’ sedation techniques on a non- NHS (private) basis.

If it looks like treatment will not be successful under ‘basic’ sedation, the options will be to refer you onward to Community Dental Service or Hospital (where facilities allow) or back to your own dentist for the treatment to be attempted under local anasethetic, or to discuss re-referral on a private basis.

We wish to make clear that this situation is purely as a result of NHS commissioning and completely beyond our control, but assure you of our best efforts in continuing to provide high standards in NHS treatment where possible.
