The Government announced a second national lockdown due to the rising number of cases of Covid-19 starting 5th November and ending on 2nd December.
There are no restrictions with regards to medical treatment and you are actively encouraged to keep your appointments. At ConfiDental Care, we have all the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and will continue to follow our high standards in cross infection control.
What next?
Please continue to attend your appointments as normal. We have excellent infection control procedures along with a robust triaging policy to ensure the safety of both patients and staff.
If you are worried about your attendance please contact us to discuss your concerns.
We continue to recommend that patients in the high-risk category delay non-essential treatment until further guidance has been given by the relevant authorities.
When you arrive:
Please wait outside and notify us of your arrival. We advise that you wear a mask at all times while inside the dental practice and only remove your mask at the request of the dental professional. We will continue to check your temperature and if this is above 37.8C, you will be advised to rebook your treatment and to follow government guidelines. Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes early for an appointment due to social distancing guidelines.
As you enter the building you will need to use the alcohol disinfectant rub to disinfect your hands.
The treatment rooms will be prepared prior to your appointment with all surfaces disinfected after each patient. The air purification/exchange units will continue to be used throughout the day in each surgery. We have sourced PPE and unlike the start of the Pandemic (March 2020 in the UK), there is no shortage.
Please do not be concerned as we continue to maintain high standards of cross infection control.
Stay safe and please contact us if you have any questions.
If you have an acute emergency and are in severe pain, please contact the surgery on 020 8289 3388, lines may be busy as we work through enquiries. Alternatively, email info@confidentalcare.co.uk and we will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible.
Kind regards,
ConfiDental Care Team.
