I lost most of a front tooth & my dentist promptly arranged an appointment. For various reasons & work done by a previous dentist it could not be saved. Estimate given & work done. All explained verbally as well as itbeing online on their site & emails. Strict protocols re C19 adhered to. don't arrive too early, no one else with you, online & verbal health questionnaire completed, sanitiser (provided) tobe used, wear mask in waiting room, provided at door if you dont have one, strict spacing between clients in reception, receptionist behind screen, treatment rooms sanitised between patients, temp taken, special mouthwash, if treatment required certain methods e.g. drill then the dentist & the nurse had to wear very complicated PPE and a one off charge of £30 made to cover (but for whole of treatment), they had specially installed air purifiers which are of operating theatre standard in waiting room plus treatment rooms,all staff had daily temp taken plus weekly tests. Due to only being able to treat reduced numbers they were prioritising cases & reduced opening hours. The hygenist did treat me too but could not use the high speed equipment and had to go back to old fashioned ways. I pay for a monthly plan. At the start of my treatment I was aware of an offical from the dental governing body testing their masks & inspecting their procedures, he was discreet but the dentist was just up front about him (they passed). I felt very safe at all times, As they all have families there was no way they wanted to take risks either.
