Archived: Trenton Dental Practice

Updated 11 July 2016

We undertook a desk based inspection of Trenton Dental Practice on the 4 July 2016. This inspection was carried out to check that improvements to meet legal requirements planned by the practice after our inspection on 10 March 2016 had been made. We inspected the practice against one of the five questions we ask about services: is the service Safe. This is because the service was not meeting some legal requirements.

The inspection was carried out by a CQC inspector.

During the inspection we spoke with one of the registered manager and supporting evidence was sent to the inspector to confirm our findings.
