During a routine inspection
People's privacy and dignity was respected; all consultations and treatment were undertaken in the privacy of the dentist's and dental hygienist's treatment rooms.
We found people's medical history had been checked at each examination and any changes in medication or health status were updated. This helped to inform the dentist of any issues that could impact upon treatment options.
Effective systems were in place to reduce the risk and spread of infection.
Staff were aware of their responsibilities in reporting any suspicion or allegations of abuse to the registered person. This ensured people could be confident the provider had taken reasonable steps to identify the possibility of abuse and prevent abuse from happening.
