Following the Prime Ministers announcement on 31st October 2020 of a national lockdown across England, we wanted our patients to be aware that Chris Bird Dental Care remains open. 

There are no restrictions with regards to healthcare treatment and you are actively encouraged to keep all scheduled appointments. At Chris Bird Dental Care, we have all the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and continue to follow our high standards in cross infection control. 

The practice still maintains a closed-door policy and patients will be seen on a strict appointment only basis and subject to our COVID-19 screening procedures. If you have any concerns about attending, please feel free to contact our reception team to discuss your concerns. Should you wish to postpone your treatment, our reception team will be more than happy to assist you.

Prior to and on arrival to your appointment we have a number of procedures in place to ensure the safety of our staff and other patients.
· Please complete any medical screening questions in advance of your appointment
· Please notify the practice of your arrival and you will be directed in by a member of the team
· Please arrive on time for your appointment as we are minimising the number of people in the waiting room in line with social distancing rules.
· Please wear a mask when you attend for your appointment, removing it only at the request of the dental professional
· Your temperature will be checked at entry
· Please use the hand sanitiser
· Please pay with card only

Our team has worked extremely hard to implement a new modified working pattern. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your patience and understanding during this difficult time, so that together we can ensure the safety of both our staff and visitors to the practice.
