Dental and Orthodontic Services in Dublin North
Dental services are provided by dentists in local HSE dental clinics (please see below for contact details).
Children in certain classes in primary school and children and adults with special needs can access HSE dental services for examinations and routine treatment.
Dental Services for adults with medical cards are available from dentists who have contracts with the HSE to provide dental treatment through the Dental Treatment Services Scheme (DTSS). Further information and lists of contracted dentists are available at HSE dental clinics or by calling 01 9214216.
Adults 16 years of age and over, with special needs requiring significant support due to a disability and where it is not possible for their routine care to be provided by a General Dental Practitioner, may attend the HSE dental clinic by appointment.
Orthodontic Service
An orthodontic assessment will be completed at your child’s 6th class dental appointment. This will determine if your child will qualify for referral to the HSE Orthodontic Service. If your child does not attend this appointment it may not be possible to refer them to the HSE Orthodontic Service at a later stage.
Children that qualify for referral to the HSE Orthodontic Service will be referred to the regional orthodontic unit for a full orthodontic exam. The regional orthodontic unit will decide if your child will be placed on a waiting list for orthodontic treatment.
Emergency dental service
Please be advised that there are no walk-in dental emergency clinics operating at this time, attendance is by appointment only.
For an emergency appointment, other appointments or queries, please call your local HSE Dental Clinic (see below for contact details) and leave a message if necessary. A member of staff will reply to your message.
