Tis The Season To Be Germ Free!
Just a little apology to all our patients for the building work that’s been going on at the back of the Practice for the last week or so. We’re in the process of creating a purpose-built decontamination room, which sounds a bit more frightening than it is! Recent Government guidelines have highlighted the need for dental surgeries to have a separate area away from the surgeries where instruments can be properly scrubbed and washed before they are then autoclaved (steam sterilised) to ensure they are 100% safe for another patient. So The Dental Team are leading the way by being one of the first Practices in the area to create one of these rooms and for the past few days the kettle in the staff room has been working flat out for the endless cups of tea needed by our builders, electricians, plasterers and decorators!
It’s all coming together now and will be fully operational before Christmas – now all we need to do is get the tinsel and decorations up in the waiting room!
