COVID-19 Update: 2/6/2020

Following yesterday’s (1/6/2020) announcement by Government that dental practices will be allowed to open soon, I would like to inform you of what this will mean in practice.

We are aiming to be open on Monday 8th June, but this date may NOT be feasible due to ongoing difficulties in obtaining suitable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Patient and staff safety is of primary importance, so we will only be allowed to open if we have the necessary PPE. At present due to unprecedented demand the availability of PPE is at an all-time low with some sources unable to deliver for 4 weeks.

Initially appointments will be targeted at those patients in pain and will be made by TELEPHONE only. Due to even more stringent cleaning requirements now necessary, the number of available appointments will be reduced from what we are used to.

It is important to note that the practice will NOT be open for patients to “drop-in” to make an appointment. If you have any problems, please phone reception and we will arrange care as soon as we can.

All our staff thank you for your understanding; we will get to treat everyone as quickly as humanly possible in these difficult times.

Yours sincerely, 

Arthur McGroarty
