During a routine inspection
We observed as the dentist and the hygienist each treated one person. They took care to make a thorough examination and discussed treatment options as well as providing reassurance and advice about dental care and health.
We found there were good arrangements for infection control at the practice. These included the use of protective equipment and procedures for keeping the premises and the instruments clean.
We found that there were good arrangements for making sure that people using the service were kept safe. These included staff training in adult and child protection and relevant contact numbers for staff to report concerns. All staff had been checked by the relevant authorities prior to starting work.
There were good arrangements for making sure that standards were monitored and improved, where necessary. These included surveys, audits of services and equipment and regular staff meetings.
