Looking for good NHS dentist for my LO !!

Took my little boy (3.5 years), to private dental practice yesterday (Toothbeary in Richmond, great place if you can afford the prices). Anyhow, to my devastation they have found two cavities in top two molars. :(
Have to admit those ones I find hard to brush as he is always giggling and wriggling away when I try and brush the top teeth.
So, they need to be fixed and due to his age, he needs to be sedated. Needless to say we cannot afford to get this done privately. The bill would be close to 1,000.
Could someone please recommend a good NHS dentist for kids in SW London. Doesnt matter whereI dont mind the travel

Thank you !!

If he needs sedation then you will end up at the Dental Hospital eg George's or Guys
I would recommend Dental Clinique but someone else said they are full
Heard good things about Clapham South Dental (opp the tube)

Ouch - for both teeth and wallet.

I've heard good things about Trinity Fields Dental on Trinity road near Wandsworth Common but not sure if they are NHS or private.

Avoid Oasis Dental on St John's Hill at all costs. I had a wisdom tooth removed there and it was just horrific!

I take my kids to Confidental on St John's Road. They've only ever had check ups so far but we see Dr Patel and he is very good and gentle with the kids.
