COVID-19 UPDATE - 18th June 2020

We are now starting to offer face to face emergency appointments for those patients who have been triaged for pain since the beginning of lockdown. These patients are being called for appointments in order of severity of the dental emergency as well as time passed since their first triage.

​

Initial appointments are for those patients who have been triaged at Level 1 and will be followed by patients triaged at Level 2. With major restrictions on the number of patients we are able to see per day, as well as the services we are able to offer, this may take a few weeks. At this stage, we are still unable to offer any AGP procedures due to restrictions with PPE.

​

Due to the changes in service, unfortunately all routine appointments will be cancelled up to 24th July 2020. We will continue to monitor changes to standard operating procedures, and will endeavour to return to a more normal service as soon as we are able. 
Unfortunately, we do not have a set date for the return of routine treatment at this time, but will endeavour to make our patients aware when we reach such a point.

​

We are still continuing with telephone triage daily, offering Advice, Analgesics and Antibiotics for patients who present with new dental emergencies throughout the coming weeks and will add those patients to the triage list to be seen as soon as possible.

​

We thank you for your continuing understanding and patience during this phased reopening and assure patients that we are working as hard as we can to offer services as quickly and safely as possible.
