Dear Patients
There are no restrictions with regards to medical treatment and you are actively encouraged to keep your appointments. We have all the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in place and will continue to follow our high standards in cross infection control.
Please continue to attend your appointments unless otherwise advised not to by ourselves or a health professional. We have excellent infection control procedures in place along with a robust triaging policy to ensure the safety of both patients and staff.
If you are worried about your attendance please contact us to discuss your concerns and we can always postpone your treatment until a later date.
We continue to recommend that patients in the high-risk category delay non-essential treatment until further guidance has been given by the relevant authorities.
Please only attend if you have an appointment.
We advise that you wear a mask at all times while inside the dental practice and only remove your mask at the request of the dental professional. We will continue to check your temperature and if this is above 37.8C, you will be advised to rebook your treatment and to follow government guidelines. Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes early for an appointment due to social distancing guidelines.
As you enter the building you will be asked to wash and sanitize your hands.
The treatment rooms will be prepared prior to your appointment with all surfaces disinfected after each patient. We have sourced PPE and unlike the start of the Pandemic (March 2020 in the UK), there are no shortage of supplies.
Please do not be concerned as we continue to maintain high standards of cross infection control throughout.
Stay safe and please contact us if you have any questions.
Kind regards
The Dental Team
Red Lodge Dental Surgery
