During a routine inspection
The consultation notes we saw showed people's oral health was comprehensively assessed. For example, the dentist had checked for decay, soft tissue problems, the condition of people's gums, jaw and face and recorded a map of the mouth.
We spoke to staff and observed their practices with decontamination and sterilisation of medical equipment. The decontamination room contained manual washing facilities, an autoclave, instrument packaging facilities and all other necessary equipment for the re-processing of instruments.
People we spoke to were happy with the care provided to them. One person told us, "I've never had a complaint, but if I did I would discuss it with the practice manager". Two other people we spoke with did not have any complaints to make.
