During a routine inspection

The Whitgift Dental Practice was registered to provide private dental services to adults. Some children were also seen without charge. We were able to speak with three people who used this service. They were all very positive about the staff there and the treatment they received. They told us that they were given information about the treatment that they would need and this included how much it was going to cost them. They told us 'it's very friendly here ', 'the dentists are very good', and ' we've been coming here for years, wouldn't go anywhere else'

We saw that policies and procedure had been put in place to ensure the safety and well being of people using the service. There were regular checks being made of the equipment in use and of medication that might be needed in the event of an emergency. Staff were able to undertake further qualifications and training in order to maintain their professional registration.

We raised one concern about the decontamination process in place and the registered provided agreed to address that promptly.
