During a routine inspection
We saw that the practice had a designated decontamination room, and people told us they observed the treatment areas to be clean. However, we found that sterilised equipment was not always dated, and found that dirty items were stored alongside clean items in treatment rooms. We also found that the two dental nurses employed at the practice had not undertaken any training in infection control and prevention, although the two dentists had taken this training.
We found that the service had a complaints procedure, and people we spoke with said they had not had to make a complaint, but felt confident they would be listened to if they needed to.
