COVID-19

01/12/2020 ***UPDATE***

 

 

The Practice is now open and providing telephone support and advice. 

We have had to make some changes as we progress towards recommencing our full range of dental care and this means we are unable to see as many patients per day as usual. This is because we need to make sure we manage the number of people in the practice at one time. We’re prioritising appointments based on patient need. Please do not visit the practice in person without a pre-arranged appointment

 

It is important that you contact the practice by telephone, please do not attend the practice unless you have an appointment.  The Hygienist is also availble to provide hand scaling, please telephone us to arrange an appointment.  

 

We have been working hard to ensure the Practice is safe for both staff and patients alike and as such there may be some differences when you next attend the Practice.  We have placed hand sanitisers at entry and exit points, upgraded our PPE and redesigned the patient journey in line with social distancing. Perspex screens have been installed at reception.

 

When we make your appointment we will confirm how your journey through the practice will go and will also have medical health screening in place before you come in to reduce risk to everyone. We appreciate your patience and please be assured that we are working very hard to see everyone as soon as possible.

 

Lastly we would like to thank those on the frontline who helped in the battle against Coronavirus. Our team at Sundon Dental Practice, both dentists and nurses, volunteered our services to the wider NHS to help in the battle against Coronavirus. Our team carried on working throughout the Pandemic offering triaging services to patients experiencing problems, we were also involved in triaging patients for Urgent Dental Care centres across the East of England region. 

 

We thank you all for your patience during this difficult time and look forward to seeing you again soon.
