During our inspection we spoke with two dentists, three dental nurses and one person who had received treatment. We looked at the records for ten adults and five children who had used the service.

Following our visit we spoke with six people over the telephone so that we could get their views of the service provided. All the people we spoke with were very positive about their experiences. They felt they were given enough information about their treatment options and were always asked about their medical history. One person told us “The dentist goes through everything”. Another person we spoke to said “They are very professional, no negatives what so ever”.

We found that people received the care and treatment they needed and records detailed the treatment people had received.

There were infection prevention procedures in place to minimise the risk of infection. Decontamination procedures were followed to ensure instruments were being hygienically cleaned.

Staff had received appropriate training and development to enable them to deliver care and treatment to people safely and to an appropriate standard.

Audits were carried out to monitor quality of service and identify improvements where necessary.
