Returning To Care: COVID-19 Update
May 27th, 2020
Dental Care Ireland Returning To Care: COVID-19 Update: We are delighted to inform you that Dental Care Ireland practices will be resuming normal service on a phased and gradual basis from Monday 18th May 2020.
Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.
During our transition to general treatment, Dental Care Ireland will be following the government, HSE and Irish Dental Council guidelines at all times.
As a result, and to ensure the safety of dentists, staff and patients Dental Care Ireland has implemented a number of measures, including the following:
- Staggered & lengthened appointments
- Pre-appointment screening
- Staff and patient temperature checks
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Aerosol reduction/mitigation measures
- Increased infection prevention & control (IPC) processes
- Addition of air purifier machines
- Installation of Perspex screen for reception
In the weeks ahead, we will be prioritising those patients who had a dental emergency during lockdown. We will also be contacting any patients who had scheduled appointments cancelled due to the lockdown to re-book these appointments and will then be reintroducing our dental hygiene services later on in the month of June.
We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. Should you wish to make an appointment, contact your local practice here.
