Records that we reviewed showed us that people were only offered dental care or treatment where a valid consent to their treatment had been obtained. Staff who we spoke with knew what action to take if they suspected a person lacked the mental capacity to consent to their treatment.

People received care which was based upon their most up-to-date health records. People's care and treatment plans were person centred and ensured that their health condition and any assessed health risks associated with this were accurately recorded.

One person told us, "They are fantastic here. I get on really well with my dentist". The same person also told us that the dentist always explained everything about their treatment in an easily understandable format.
