NHS Dentist
We know that some of you are struggling to get your children on an NHS waiting list. We know the importance of oral health & have undertaken training on this – it is now an OFSTED requirement that we signpost you to getting your child to the dentist.
You can choose anywhere to go to the dentist but we have been contacted by –
Together Dental,
St Michaels Lane,
Braintree, CM7 1EY. Telephone – 01376321789.
They say they are accepting children on their NHS books.
You can also try the Oral Health Foundation Helpline, who can help you find a local dentist for your children - Oral Health Foundation (dentalhealth.org)
Speech & Language Communication Stations
Your keyworker may have spoken to you about taking your child to one of the Communication Stations. This will be because we might think they need a little support with their speech sounds & their communication. They are 15 minute appointments & you can just drop in to be seen.
As a reminder, the communication stations for Braintree are at -
The Livewell Hub in Victoria Street, CM7 3YL.
*From June 2023, you will be able to call between 8-8:30am on the day of the Communication Station to get a booked appointment for the same day. Please have your child’s NHS number ready so they can register them easily.
In December, the Speech and Language Team did an online training video, which was recorded & it's really helpful for you as parents to see how they track developing speech and language & how they work.
