COVID Dentist Appointments
As businesses and other services are beginning to reopen, they have all had to adapt their practices to operate safely to cohere to the ‘new normal’ guidelines. It is the same case for dentists.
At our Mobberley dental practice, we are pleased to announce that we have reopened, and are providing dental appointments again. This is not without a number of COVID-related changes.
Using a DenScreen Risk Assessment, we have devised a method of operation which will allow us to provide safe dentistry that adheres to all the guidelines and information we have on the current COVID situation.
In order for us to provide COVID-compliant dentistry, we have made the following changes.
- Patients Speak Directly to a Dentist
To make sure we keep interactions down to a minimum and maintain social distancing measures, at our COVID dental appointments, you will speak directly to your dentist who will be equipped with all the compliant PPE, ensuring both you and our dentists are safe and protected.
- COVID Screening Questionnaire
Before your dental appointment, you will be asked to complete a COVID screening questionnaire, to make sure you are fit and healthy prior to visiting our Knutsford dental practice.
- Symptom and Temperature Checks
We check our staff’s temperature and symptoms each day to ensure we are operating on a COVID compliant basis. In order for us to provide safe dentistry to ALL of our patients, we will take your temperature on arrival to your appointment, and provide hand sanitiser on entry to our dental practice.
- Improved Air Filtration
We have a new air filtration system that has 5 filters, including UV and HEPA which filters 99.999% of airborne particles out of the air including viruses.
We also have a high-volume suction unit, which controls aerosol spray for patients, and an air extraction system that replaces air in the room 12 times per hour.
- Regular Dental Practice Clean-Down
Our surgery is fully cleaned down including floors and walls between each patient and all points of contract. We are dedicated to the safety of all of our staff and patients, so ensure that these standards do not slip.
- Online Paperwork
We have moved most of our hardcopy paperwork onto our online system. Paperwork and forms can be completed by patients in the comfort of their home, and sent electronically to our dental practice when required.
If you do not have access to a computer, please don’t hesitate to discuss your options with our team.
- Contactless Payments
Any payments that have to be made within the dental practice will need to be completed using contactless methods. Our payment areas have been set up with protective barriers, ensuring that both you and our staff are kept safe during this transaction.
