Update on Hygienist Treatment

Hygienist treatment has been quite badly impacted by the pandemic because the equipment they commonly use creates a spray. Enhanced safety measures necessitated longer appointments and this resulted in higher patient charges. 

We have undertaken work to increase ventilation in the surgeries, and we can now shorten appointments a little without any compromise in patient safety. Hygienist appointments have been shortened to 30 minutes, and the patient fee reduced. 

We have now withdrawn the "handscale only' option introduced as a temporary service during the height of the pandemic. 

We continue to try to offer as complete a service as possible despite the ongoing difficulties in delivering dental care.
