Infection Control & Safety

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice, and you may have seen this during your visits to our surgery. Our infection control processes ensure that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable.

 

Our practice follows infection control guidelines made by the governing bodies. We are up-to-date on new guidance that has been issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to recommendations.

 

The clinical team will continue to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) in the treatment rooms, in line with government guidance. Regular hand washing will be adhered to by the whole team. There are increased ventilation measures, and the windows are also open to ensure airflow within the practice.

Keeping you safe since lockdown

The Government made the announcement on the 28th May 2020, that Dental Practices can re-open from 8th June 2020.  This time frame only gave us 6 working days to re-commission the surgery. We had been working behind the scenes during lockdown, preparing for when we could re-open the surgery.

 

We re-opened the surgery on 15th June 2020, as we wanted to ensure that the practice was safe for our patients and our staff.

 

Our Dental Chairs were serviced and upgraded to perform the correct suction power recommended to make aerosol generated procedures safer.

 

The practice water supply had Laboratory Legionella Testing and the Dental Chair waterlines were tested for bacteria. The test results came back clear.

 

All equipment in the practice has been serviced.

 

The clinical team had Medical Emergency Training, in line with the new COVID-19 guidelines.

 

They also had training on Donning and Doffing (putting on and taking off) the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

 

The whole team has been trained in the new ways of working, we are so please to be welcoming patients through our doors again.
