During a routine inspection
The practice had policies and procedures in place for safeguarding vulnerable adults and children. We spoke with one dentist, the practice manager and the dental nurse. All of them understood the relevance of safeguarding children and vulnerable adults in dentistry. This meant that patients who used the service were protected from the risk of abuse.
The practice had effective policies and procedures in place for controlling the risk of infection. We observed that the treatment rooms in the practice were kept clean and hygienic. One patient said, 'It's very clean and comfortable.'
