To all our patients,
We are actively monitoring the developing situation with Novel Coronavirus,(Covid-19)
in Britain, Europe and Worldwide.
We would like to reassure you that, as always we are here for you and shall continue to act to ensure the health and the safety of our patients and team.
At Blyton Dental,we are accustomed to stringent cleaning and decontamination procedures .All our treatment rooms are wiped down and sanitized between each patient as standard procedure.Within the practice, throughout the day all the door handles, buzzers,tablets, card machine and reception desk are wiped down with alcohol wipes. We have plenty of hand soap and hand towels in all our rooms and toilets. There is hand sanitizer on the reception desk and we ask each patient when they come in to sanitize their hands.
We have stopped all deliveries coming into the practice unless necessary in which case the delivery person sanitizes their hands. We are offering the option for patients to wait in their own cars after they have checked in, and receive a phone call when it is their turn for treatment ,if they don’t want to wait in the reception.
As matters develop we will need to respond to changing advice, possibly on a daily basis. We will do our best to continue to provide care with a proportionate response. As part of this,we would ask any patient who have a new continuous cough or high fever (over 37.8 )to cancel their appointment, follow government advice, and not attend till those symptoms have settled .
If you are over 70, or medically compromised, we offer deferral of routine examination appointments. If, over the next period you are feeling anxious and isolated we are very happy for you to call us for a chat and to keep in touch with you regularly by phone.
Online consultation - if you are self-isolating, or would just prefer to stay at home, and have dental concerns, we will be glad to arrange to have a discussion with you on the phone or with a video call. Clearly this won’t be able to deal with everything but we hope we may be able to provide reassurance in many situations.
We would like to remind you of our constant message , to be proactive about your oral health. Keeping your mouth healthy is an important part in keeping your immune system strong.
With very best wishes from everyone at Blyton Dental
