During a routine inspection
People told us everything was explained and the dentist discussed treatment options. Everyone said they were involved in their treatment plan and had been asked for their consent.
We found people's treatment needs were assessed and treatment was provided by experienced and qualified staff. There were systems in place in the event of a medical emergency. Medicines were managed appropriately to keep people safe.
We found that people who used this service and staff were protected from identifiable risks of acquiring an infection because there were systems in place to keep the practice clean and hygienic including effective de-contamination of instruments in accordance with guidelines.
We found that staff were qualified and had the relevant skills and experience to carry out their jobs. They were registered with relevant professional bodies which meant they were able to carry out their respective jobs.
We found the quality of the service provided was audited and monitored by the staff and the provider to ensure it was safe, effective and well-managed.
