Healthcare - Shotley Bridge Dental Care
On Monday 23rd March 2020 all Dental appointments and routine non-urgent appointments were stopped due to Coronavirus. However emergency treatment still had to proceed and following Government advice most practices remained open but subject to stringent restrictions and measures. These measures were important to reassure both patients and staff that the practice was clean and safe. Some were obvious like the dental team wearing different protective equipment to that worn previously and patients having their temperature taken and having to sanitise their hands on entering and exiting the practice. Others less obvious but just as important such as Socially distanced waiting areas, cleaning of door handles and pens etc between patients, and Card only payments.
It is impossible to say when these measures will be relaxed but because of them Dentists have been able to provide emergency treatment to many people throughout the pandemic.
