Clinical governance
Safety protocols we follow on every patient
Our practice follows the World Health Organization's infection-prevention guidance for oral health services and the FDI World Dental Federation's statements on patient safety, consent and record keeping.
Infection prevention & control
Instruments are cleaned, pouched and sterilised in a class-B autoclave with cycle logging and periodic biological (spore) testing, in line with WHO and FDI infection-control guidance.
Single-use where it matters
Needles, scalpel blades, suction tips, gloves, bibs and barrier film are single-use only and disposed of in colour-coded sharps and clinical waste containers.
Informed consent
Every treatment plan is explained with options, risks, alternatives and costs before we begin. Nothing is started without your written consent.
Radiation safety
Radiographs are prescribed only when clinically justified, using digital sensors, lead aprons and the ALARA principle to keep exposure as low as reasonably achievable.
Medical records & confidentiality
Clinical notes, radiographs and medical histories are stored securely and shared only with your consent or where required by law.
Medical emergencies
Our team maintains basic life support training and the clinic keeps a stocked emergency kit with oxygen and emergency drugs, checked on a fixed schedule.
