Neilston Dental Surgery will continue to operate normally and we are closely monitoring updates from the World Health Organisation and HM Government, British Dental Association and General Dental Council.
We adhere to the highest standards of infection control as part of our normal everyday practice. While we, of course, recognise concerns regarding coronavirus, we also recognise there are not many safer places to be in terms of cross-contamination than our practice.
The vast majority of patients attend our practice via private vehicle, which further reduces the likelihood of being exposed to any cross-contamination. We prioritise safety and are committed to reducing the risk of spread of COVID-19 to everyone at Neilston Dental Surgery by ensuring effective hygiene practices are in place for both patients and staff as advised by General Dental Council.
If you have a cough, fever or shortness of breath and have recently traveled or have been in contact with someone who has recently traveled, please ring 111 who will advise you on the next steps.
If you are concerned that you have any symptoms or have been in contact with anyone who displays symptoms then we advise you to not attend your appointment and to please contact us as soon as possible. For further information relating to coronavirus, please see the links below:
