The requirement to maintain physical distancing has been removed across all health and care settings.

Triage is important in deciding which pathway a patient goes into . Patients will be asked questions in order to assess risk . 

Patients with respiratory symptoms who can delay treatment are encouraged to reschedule their appointment. 

Patients are encouraged to make appointments by phone where possible. This minimises attendance  in the practice. Our experienced receptionists can help and advise you of the right care to meet your dental needs . 

Patients are required to wear face coverings on non-respiratory pathway and FRSM on respiratory pathway apart from during dental treatment. Face coverings can be removed once in the surgery clinical area . They should remain in place in the waiting room and reception. 

People required to accompany patients require to wear face coverings in all areas of the practice. Any patient attending a health care facility must wear a face covering in line with Scottish Government guidance unless exempt. Type II FRSM are available at reception should anyone attend without a face covering.

Staff are required  to wear FRSM mask in all areas of the practice and FFP3 during AGP on respiratory pathway. 

This will be risk assessed. 

Clear signage about mask wear and hand hygiene still remains in place . 

People making deliveries are required to wear face coverings in all areas of the practice.

A full service of dental care and treatment is available at the practice. We are still working through a 2 year backlog of care . This means recall intervals having to be extended to meet the care of all patients . 

Childsmile appointments are available for babies and also as part of a child routine check up. 

All staff are working hard to provide care and prioritise any dental emergencies . Each dentist has allocated emergency spaces in the week but it may not be feasible to see your own dentist for acute problems. 

Thank you once again for your patience and support.
