All Inspections

7 March 2013

During a routine inspection

We found that dental care was provided according to people's assessed needs and that people signed consent and treatment records which showed they understood and consented to treatment. The dental staff spoke with people who used the service prior to treatment to check if there had been any changes in their medical condition from the previous treatment and to agree the treatment to be provided.

We spoke with four people who told us they were happy with the service. One person told us, 'I am delighted they have fitted me in today as an emergency.' Another person told us, 'I have used this dentist for over 30 years with no complaints.'

The service is provided on two floors and the ground floor has a dental surgery that can accommodate anyone unable to use the stairs.

We spoke with four staff and they were all aware from their training of the safeguarding procedure for children and vulnerable adults. There was a complaints procedure in place. The service supported its staff through training and an appraisal system.
