During a routine inspection
We found that people's opinions were respected when making decisions about their dental treatment. People told us, 'He (the dentist) keeps me fully informed of what he's planning to do and gives me the options of what he could do' and 'They definitely involve me in decision making.'
During our inspection we spoke with four members of staff. We found that all four had some knowledge of safeguarding procedures for children and vulnerable adults, and how to report any concerns they may have about this.
People told us they were happy with the standard of cleanliness at the practice and we found there were suitable infection control procedures in place. People said, 'The cleanliness is no problem and I always get offered glasses and an apron when I'm having treatment' and 'The cleanliness seems fine'.
We checked staff records and found the provider operated effective recruitment procedures for staff.
