How has Cestria Dental Practice responded to Covid-19?

Whilst the standards for UK dentistry were already very high, these changed during the Red & Amber phases of Government Coronavirus management. All dental practices were instructed to close and new Urgent Dental Centres were initially set up to deal with managing the most serious dental emergencies during ‘lock-down’. Whilst we were unable to see patients during this period, the team was hard at work behind the scenes. Calls were monitored daily and patients received advice and emergency medicines, as appropriate.  We kept informed of the new standard operating procedures that were being developed and started to plan for the changes that were anticipated once general dental practices would be allowed to open again. We were pleased to be ready to open on the first day we were allowed to, Monday 8 June 2020.

How have we enhanced safety?

Team training & development

New social distancing measures

New standard operating processes

Reduced patient numbers

Covid triage prior to appointment

Restricted access to reception

Enhanced cross infection control processes

Increased specification PPE – all clinical staff fit tested for respirator masks for AGPs

Hand sanitising on entry to practice

Increased cleaning of communal areas

Fogger disinfectant machines after AGPs

Covid-19 Update

We are continuing to monitor the advice of Public Health England and are providing an emergency service by appointment only. If you have a need for urgent dental care, please call the practice and leave a voicemail. Messages are monitored and you will be called back within 24hours with advice and support. Please do not attend the practice in person for any reason unless you have been invited to do so.

Urgent care includes treatment for:
* Dental and soft tissue infections.
*Severe dental and facial pain, that cannot be controlled by the patient following self-help advice.
* Fractured tooth with nerve damage.

Dental emergencies include:
Trauma – including facial laceration.
Oro-facial swelling that is significant and/or worsening.
Bleeding that the patient is not able to control.

Treatments we cannot currently undertake:
* Mild or moderate pain (not associated with an urgent care condition and that responds to pain relief measures).
*Lost crowns and fillings.
