During a routine inspection

We found that the Scartho Dental Practice obtained informed patient consent prior to treatment. Patients said the dentist explained treatment options to them at the start of treatment. Clinical assessment of patients informed the planning of their dental care and treatment. The treatment plan was discussed with patients.

Patients spoke positively about their experience of the practice. Patient comments included: 'Absolutely first class, an excellent dentist,' 'They are always extremely polite,' and 'They are nice. I don't think we would find a better place than this anywhere.'

The provider had a child protection policy in place for the practice. The practice manager confirmed that no children were seen without a chaperone in attendance.

We found the practice was clean and arrangements had been made to reduce the risk of infection. Arrangements to provide a separate decontamination room were in progress, overseen by commissioners of the service.

Patients spoke positively about the staff that worked with them. Patient comments included, 'Staff are very efficient; no one has any off days,' 'Staff are good with people,' and 'The dental nurse is always really helpful.'
