'Careful with your Care'

CROSSINFECTION CONTROL

With the understandable public concerns about the potential risk of catching diseases like HIV and Hepatitis during dental treatment we want to assure you that every precaution is taken to safeguard you against these risks.

Whenever treatment is required, a fresh tray of instruments is used for each patient seen. Instruments are routinely sterilising by heat in an autoclave. Many instruments including drills are sterilised in single use packs. Non sterilisable items such as cups, paper towels, bibs are disposed of after use. Protective gloves (Latex and non latex) are always worn and discarded after each use in the mouth.

Work surfaces, handles, tubings and lights are cleaned after every patient with antiviral/antibacterial wipes.

Jonathan Munns' surgery is a safe place to receive your dental care.

CONFIDENTIAL MEDICAL HISTORY

At your first visit we will ask you to complete a written medical questionnaire. This is completely confidential. The purpose of this is for your safety. Many medical conditions do affect mouth health and some medications makes it necessary for the use of non adrenaline based local anaesthesia or the use of supplementary doses of your usual medication in order to treat you safely

We will check your medical history for any updates at each checkup.
