Dental practice update

On the 31st October 2020 Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a second national lockdown due to the rising number of cases of Covid-19. 

44 Dental Care will still be open. There are no restrictions with regards to medical treatment. At 44 Dental Care we have all the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and will continue to follow our high standards in cross infection control.

What next?

Please continue to attend your appointments unless we contact you and advise differently. We have excellent infection control procedures along with a robust triaging policy to ensure the safety of both patients and staff.

If you are worried about your attendance please contact us to discuss your concerns and we can always postpone your treatment till a later date. 

When you arrive:

We advise that you wear a mask at all times while inside the dental practice and only remove your mask at the request of the dental professional. We will continue to ask you to fill in our Covid screening questionnaire and if there is any risk, you will be advised to rebook your treatment and to follow government guidelines. Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes early for an appointment due to social distancing guidelines.

As you enter the building you will need to use the alcohol disinfectant rub to disinfectant your hands.

The treatment rooms will be prepared prior to your appointment with all surfaces disinfected after each patient. We have sourced PPE and unlike the start of the Pandemic (March 2020 in the UK), there is no current shortage. 

Please do not be concerned as we continue to maintain high standards of cross infection control.

Stay safe and please contact us if you have any questions. 

Warmest regards
