All Inspections

6 December 2012

During a routine inspection

We were able to speak with five people attending the dental practice. Every person had attended the practice for at least five years. People told us they were happy with the practice and felt they were treated with respect and dignity by the dentists and staff at the practice.

People made positive comments about staff and indicated that they felt safe and well cared for. One person told us, 'The dentist is very careful that I don't have any pain. I have had very bad experiences in the past and I am no longer nervous because I trust my dentist'.

The premises were clean and well maintained. There were arrangements for infection control checks and daily cleaning tasks. Staff were knowledgeable regarding infection control and decontamination procedures. There was documented evidence that equipment used had been maintained and inspected by specialist contractors.

We looked at three sets of patient notes and observed that these included a medical history and were regularly updated to ensure they accurately reflected treatment discussions and choices.
