During a routine inspection
People said they found the receptionists 'very helpful' and another person told us 'I am given an appointment when I need it. People said they were reminded of forthcoming appointments by text message.
People told us they were well informed of the treatment options available to them. One person said the dentist had 'explained fully what the options available were and made his recommendations regarding the course of treatment.'
People were asked annually to complete a medical history report. This meant the dentist was aware of any health changes which might impact treatment.
Emergency equipment and drugs were available in the event of a medical emergency taking place. All clinical staff were trained in responding to medical emergencies and this was updated annually.
All of the staff team had attended training on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.
People told us they were confident about the cleanliness of the practice. Regular audits were completed by a dental nurse to monitor infection control within the practice.
