COVID-19 Guidance for Dental Practices in Wales
The practice is open for a mostly full level of service, but patient throughput remains greatly reduced. We are currently able to see all patients with a dental problem or pain, and when capacity allows we will endeavour to return to more routine examinations.
We are screening patients before entrance into the surgery. If you answer 'Yes' to any of the screening questions (such as testing positive for Covid-19, or waiting for a test result, or been a close contact) then your appointment will need to be resceduled unless you are suffering with a dental emergency, i.e. uncontrollable bleeding, spreading facial swelling or severe dental trauma.
At present we respectfully request you delay contacting us for a routine examination if you are not suffering with any dental problem and have been low dental risk in the past.
We are able to offer aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) such as fillings, but due to the Infection Prevention & Control Guidelines we are limited in the number of these we can offer at the present time.
Therefore we will need to prioritise those patients with the greatest need, i.e. if you are in pain or have a tooth that is rapidly deteriorating.
Our door will remain locked and attendance will be by phone appointment only. We can only see 4 patients in the practice at any one time, so you may be required to wait outside or in your car.
We request that you attend alone, or a single parent or carer if required.
Please do not bring bags and valuables, and try not to use our toilet if you can help it.
Please keep socially distanced from others until you are sat in the dental chair.
If you are required to pay, please bring a contactless credit card if possible.
If you require out-of-hours emergency dental treatment, please call CAV 24/7 on 03001020247
We are very happy to inform you that the practice has recently completed the BDA Good Practice "Return to face-to-face assessment" course.
This has helped us comply with the new requirements that are needed to ensure everything is in place for the practice to be safe for patients and staff during the Covid pandemic.
Our Story
The practice was established by Tim's parents, Rob & Sheila Phillips, who have since retired from dentistry. In 2008 Tim came to Fairwater Green to take over the running of the practice and over the years has developed it into the four surgeries.
Extensive refurbishments were carried out to establish two additional new dental surgeries with the latest equipment and disabled access.
Our practice is a member of the British Dental Association’s Good Practice Scheme - the leading quality assurance framework for UK dental practices.
This means that our practice is committed to keeping up to date with and providing quality dental care to nationally agreed standards of good practice in order to provide the best care for you – our patients.
As part of the Good Practice Scheme all members of our dental team have made this commitment:
-
We involve our patients in all aspects of their care and ensure that their needs and preferences are considered and that they can take informed decisions
-
We ensure a safe environment by undertaking risk assessments and managing potential hazards within the practice. We follow current guidelines for preventing cross-infection
-
We recruit staff that are competent to undertake the duties associated with their role and provide training where required. We encourage on-going professional development for all members of our team
-
We monitor the quality of the service we provide and seek the views of our patients to identify opportunities for improvement.
