- Our SW4 London dental practice aims
to provide dental care of a consistent quality, for all patients.
We have management systems to help us and which define each dental
practice member's responsibilities when looking after you.
- In proposing treatment we will take account of your own wishes.
We will explain options, where appropriate, and costs, so that
you can make an informed choice. We will always explain what we
are doing.
- We will do all we can to look after your general health. We
will ask you about your general health, and about any medicines
being taken. This helps us to treat you safely. We keep all information
about you confidential.
- Contamination control is also essential to the safety of our
patients. Every practice member receives training in practice
systems for contamination control.
- We screen all patients for mouth cancer at routine checkups.
We ask patients about tobacco and alcohol use because they increase
your oral cancer risk.
- Practice working methods are reviewed regularly at meetings
of all staff. We encourage all staff to make suggestions for improving
the care we give patients.
- All dentists in our London dental practice take part in continuing professional education, meeting the General
Dental Council's requirements. We aim to keep up-to-date with
current thinking on all aspects of general dentistry, including
preventive care which reduces your need for treatment.
- All staff joining the practice are given training in practice-wide
procedures. Once a year, there is an individual review of training
needs for everyone in our SW4 dental practice.
- All members of our Clapham dental practice know of the need to ensure that dentists are working safely. In
the unlikely event that a dentist in this practice becomes unfit
to practice, we have systems to ensure that concerns are investigated
and, if necessary, acted upon.
- As a family practice we take our concerns regarding the environment and the future impact on our children very seriously. In addition to our commitment to saving resources ie electricity,water and gas we are proud to be members of a recycling scheme started by friends of the earth. We have already had trees planted inner city in our name and plan to add to this at a rate of 2 a week. For further information on this scheme please visit www.paper-round.co.uk
