- Stringent pre-appointment health checks by phone and by email.

- Remote dental triage appointments.
- Redesigned our patient journey (for more information please click here).
- Covid Vaccination of team members.
- Daily Temperature and symptoms checks on arrival for both patients and team members.

- Cleaning of the entire practice every evening by a cleaning company that is up-to-date with COVID cleaning protocols for the dental setting.
- Ensuring good air circulation throughout the practice through ventilation protocols.

- Medicated pre-treatment mouthwash designed to help to reduce pathogens in the mouth.
