One person told us, “I have no complaints about my care whatsoever”. Another person told us, “The dentist always explains what treatment needs doing and explains what choices are available to me”.

People told us they were involved in the planning of their treatment and were treated with care and respect. We observed people being communicated with in a professional and friendly manner.

Care and treatment was based upon guidelines and individual need. We saw that people were cared for and treated by staff who had the appropriate knowledge and skills.
