Practice Update

We hope that this email finds you and your family well and are finding time to enjoy the sunshine.

The Hitchin Dental Care Team have been working hard this week to make sure that the practice goes above and beyond the Health and Safety guidance currently available.

We have been reviewing the guidance given to dental practices in different countries across the world that are now opening their dental practices again and making sure that, as always, we will be providing gold-standard care from gold-standard premises.

Work on the first floor socially-distanced waiting room is well under way. The electrics have had their first-fix, the new flooring is in and the re-decoration has been completed. We await the arrival of the new reception desk.

A CCTV system has been installed so that we can ensure your safety around the much larger premises.

Covid-19 means that we will have to drastically change the way in which we plan your journey through the practice – we will share more details on this later.

Although we do not have an opening date as yet, we are putting measures in place so that we can resume the care we provide as quickly as possible.

In the meantime, if you have a problem with your oral health please email us at patientcare@hitchindentalcare.co.uk.

If you need to talk to one of our dentists, please call the practice on 01462-451300, where you can get further information on how to contact the dentist on-call.

We hope to see you all very soon.
