Archived: City Dental Practice

The dental team consisted of two dentists and four dental nurses. All the staff were registered with the General Dental Council.

During the inspection we spoke with the dentist, three dental nurses and six people who used the service.

We found that people were informed of their treatment options and their consent for treatment was obtained. One person who used the service said, "My dentist always explains my treatment options to me.'

Dental records contained information about people's treatment and follow up appointments.

We found that the decontamination process for dental instruments was satisfactory to reduce the risk of cross infection.

The recruitment practices ensured that all staff were suitable to work at the practice. One person who used the service said, 'The staff are very friendly and helpful.'

The practice had an effective quality assurance monitoring system in place to ensure people were not at risk of inappropriate care or treatment.
