We are not able to provide primary care treatment; a small number of cases are accepted for undergraduate training but otherwise treatment not requiring specialist care is returned to the referring practitioner for completion. Note that the lack of ability to pay for treatment is not an indication for a referral and all patients with active primary disease will be returned to the referring practitioner for remedial treatment.<\/p>\n<p>A consultation appointment does not necessarily mean that further treatment will be undertaken at the Dental Hospital. Our aim is to work in partnership with the primary care practitioner, which means that the patient will almost always be referred back for specific items of treatment or all of the recommended treatment with a detailed treatment plan. Only certain cases are selected for treatment by undergraduates, postgraduate trainees or staff, and in such cases there may be a significant delay before treatment can be commenced. For those patients accepted for treatment, it is expected that the referring practitioner will continue to see the patient for routine examinations and treatment, continuing to provide all other aspects of dental care. It is expected that stabilisation of the oral health will have been carried out as outlined in the Greater Manchester Local Dental Network (GM LDN)\u00a0 \u201cHealthy Gums Do Matter\u201d Practitioner\u2019s Toolkit.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<a class=\"c-jump-link no-print\" href=\"#main\">\n    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"18\" height=\"10\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 10\">\n        <polygon points=\"8.889 0 0 8.701 1.327 10 8.889 2.597 16.451 10 17.778 8.701 8.889 0\" style=\"fill:#005eb8\"\/>\n    <\/svg><span>Top<\/span>\n<\/a>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong>Patients considered high priority<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The following patients will normally be accepted for treatment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Those who have or have had oral cancer (e.g. pre-treatment planning, post-resection rehabilitation)<\/li>\n<li>Those who have congenital dental abnormalities (e.g. hypodontia, cleft lip &amp; palate and dentinogenesis \/amelogenesis imperfecta)<\/li>\n<li>Those who have suffered severe orofacial trauma<\/li>\n<li>Patients requiring treatment of a multi-disciplinary nature<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<a class=\"c-jump-link no-print\" href=\"#main\">\n    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"18\" height=\"10\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 10\">\n        <polygon points=\"8.889 0 0 8.701 1.327 10 8.889 2.597 16.451 10 17.778 8.701 8.889 0\" style=\"fill:#005eb8\"\/>\n    <\/svg><span>Top<\/span>\n<\/a>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong>Advice only referrals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Referrals for advice only, with appropriate supporting clinical and radiographic information, will always be accepted.
