Our Policies

Prevention is better than cure

We are committed to preventive dentistry and encourage all patients to join a programme of regular preventative oral healthcare.
With regular inspections, dietary advice, oral hygiene instruction and oral cancer screening our aim is to help patients maximise the health of their teeth and gums and thereby reduce any unnecessary future treatment caused by neglect.

Emergencies

Should you require Emergency Treatment during normal surgery hours please telephone the Practice where every effort will be made to see you as soon as possible. A telephone answering service operates out of hours enabling messages to be left and which will be dealt with the next working day.

However, if you are in need of urgent advice or treatment outside normal surgery hours including weekends and Bank Holidays, please telephone the Nottingham Emergency Dental Service on 0845 603 1407. Should you need to see a dentist, arrangements will be made for you to be seen as soon as is convenient.

Children

We encourage children to attend from about 2 years of age to help them adjust to visiting the Practice. Familiarity, along with good healthcare, should help allay any fears they might have.

Cross-infection control

We pride ourselves on maintaining a high degree of cross-infection control using disposable materials wherever possible. All other items are autoclaved in a separate sterilization room where we adhere to strict Cross-Infection Control Policy.

These steps have been recognised by the British Dental Association, and as a result, we are listed under the 'Good Practice Guide' on their website.
