During a routine inspection
We saw that the practice was clean and policies and procedures were in place to reduce the risk and spread of infection. The decontamination of instruments took place in a separate room, regarded as best practice by the Department of Health. However, we observed that the process of decontamination did not fully comply with expected standards. The dentist told us that they were in the course of developing and refurbishing the practice.
Systems were in place to protect people from the risks of inappropriate or unsafe care and treatment and to assess and monitor the quality of services provided. Risk assessments had been carried out and the dentist had introduced written treatment plans and consent forms and updated to digital X-rays. Accurate records were maintained about people's treatment and about staffing and management. A back up system had been put in place for computerised patient records.
