We found the waiting area and treatment rooms in clean and hygienic condition and people told us that every time they attended they found it "very clean". The dentist told us that when patients came to the surgery they asked them what the problem was and what treatment they had in mind. They said after the initial examination they discussed treatment options with them to ensure people were able to ask any questions before the treatment was provided. People we spoke with confirmed treatment options were discussed with them.

We saw that the practice had comprehensive records for each patient’s care. These included medical histories, an assessment of care, treatment plan, reviews of treatment and details of any changes to treatment plans.

One dentist was the safeguarding lead for the practice. There was an up to date safeguarding policy in place and it contained a clear procedure for staff to follow and details of agencies to contact if abuse was suspected.

Staff we spoke to told us they felt well supported in their work. They said they had an induction when they first started which included shadowing a member of staff for a week, attending training and familiarising themselves with policies and procedures.
