Further to our last update, hopefully most of our patients are aware that we re-opened on 1 st June with all appropriate PPE and patient safety measures in place.
Our protocols to protect both patients and the Gaskell Avenue team have been very successful, meaning that after only offering emergency or urgent care in June, we have moved through July increasing the number of appointments and types of treatment available.
In August, and moving forward, we will have the full team back. Our opening hours will remain at 9.00-5.30 at present but we are reviewing the ‘early bird’ appointments and the Tuesday late night session.
Routine examination appointments are now available. Our hygienist service has resumed, and all normal dental care is available. Despite our Level 3 PPE, we still need to vacate surgeries for a spell after many fillings and crown procedures, so fewer appointments are available. We are hopeful that this guidance will be modified in the coming weeks.
We have sourced adequate supplies of PPE despite intermittent problems with supply chains in June and earlier and are confident that our stock of this will allow more appointments for more of you, our patients to receive the Dental Care you need.
Like everyone are hoping that the national and international response to COVID-19 will permit a gradual return to normality in the coming months.
We do want everyone to feel confident and safe attending Gaskell Avenue Dental Practice. If you do have any questions relating to your problems, or your future visits to us, please email us at gaskellcheshiredental@gmail.com
Many thanks,
The Dental Care Team at Gaskell Avenue Dental Practice Ltd
