During a routine inspection
We found that dental staff had explained the treatment options to people at the beginning of their consultation and that they had been involved in decisions about their oral healthcare.
Care records showed people had been given comprehensive dental plans which clearly outlined their treatment and any associated risks.
All the staff we spoke with said that they felt well supported to do their job and that they received the training they needed.
We found suitable and appropriate infection control processes were in place to ensure people were not exposed to the risks of cross infection and that the appropriate published guidelines had been followed.
