FOSTERS DENTAL COVID-19 UPDATE  

In light of the Omicron Wave of Covid-19, we thank all our patients for their continued support of the practice.

Fosters Dental is open and there are no restrictions with regards to dental treatment and you are actively encouraged to keep your appointments. At Fosters Dental we have all the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and will continue to follow our high standards in cross infection control.

What next?

Please continue to attend your appointments. We have excellent infection control procedures along with a robust triaging policy to ensure the safety of both patients and staff.

If you are worried about your attendance please contact us to discuss your concerns and we can always postpone your treatment till a later date.

We continue to recommend that patients in the high-risk category delay non-essential treatment until further guidance has been given by the relevant authorities.

When you arrive:

We advise that you wear a mask at all times while inside the dental practice and only remove your mask at the request of the dental professional.

If at any point in the lead up to your appointment you begin to feel unwell, please let the practice know and we can rebook your treatment in line with government guidelines.

Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes early for an appointment due to social distancing guidelines, and

As you enter the building you will need to use the alcohol disinfectant rub to disinfectant your hands.

The treatment room will be prepared prior to your appointment with all surfaces disinfected after each patient.  We have sourced PPE and unlike the start of the Pandemic (March 2020 in the UK), there is no shortage.

Please do not be concerned as we continue to maintain high standards of cross infection control.

Stay well, stay safe and please contact us if you have any questions.

Kindest regards

 Your Fosters Dental Team
