‼️ESSENTIAL UPDATE - Please read and share.‼️
This morning, we received a very important email from the Chief Dental Officer of Scotland, advising us that as of today (Wednesday 18th March 2020), all dental practices across Scotland will be severely limited as to the dental procedures we are allowed to provide.
We will not be allowed to use any of our dental equipment that uses water, or creates a spray, which rules out being able to provide routine fillings, root treatments, crowns and bridges etc unless it is classed as a severe dental emergency.
We will be remaining open to provide an emergency dental service.
We will also be able to continue to carry out routine dental check-ups, hand scales and dentures on people who are aged 70 and under, not in the “at risk” age category and not showing signs of having the coronavirus.
There is no indication in the guidelines as to how long we should expect this situation to continue but we will provide you with further updates as we know more information.
We will be contacting all our patients with appointments as soon as we can.
These measures have been put in place by the Chief Dental Officer for Scotland and we have no choice but to follow them.
We will have staff available at the practice during our normal opening hours but we request that you do not come into the building unless you have an appointment to prevent potential spread of the virus.
We will keep you updated as the days go on as to what's happening.
Thanks for your continuous support ❤️
