Child dental extractions
Dear Darlington Primary Care Trust (PCT),
I am trying to ascertain some figures relating to children who need dental extractions under a general anasthetic (GA) at Darlington Memorial Hospital (DMH) who would I assume have this proceedure done following a referal from their own dentist.
A, How many children had teeth removed under GA at DMH in the following years 2008, 2009, 2010.?
B, Of those in the answers to QA how many had 9 or more extractions at the same time in the years 2008, 2009, 2010.?
C, If you keep more detailed records can I have the numbers of those with 9 or more extractions in the above years that were through decay?
D, As in Q3 if you have more detailed records how many extractions were for poor quality enamel?
E, Which dentists use DMH as their place of practice for such extractions under GA ie: Mr B Lacey?
Yours faithfully,
[Name Removed]
Thank you for your request.
