In line with the Government Guidelines  –  precautions have been put in place to keep patients and the team safe.

Stay at home if you have coronavirus symptoms

Due to Covid19 restrictions & the ongoing situations Netherton  Dental Practice is unable to operate as normal; Following Government Guidelines and with immediate effect we can no longer see patients at the practice.

We will be operating a telephone advice service until further notice.

All routine appointments have therefore been cancelled. We will contact patients to reschedule & confirm appointments when we are able to reopen.

If you are a registered patient & you have a DENTAL EMERGENCY for which you require advice, please call  your registered practice listed below.

You will be given further assistance from this point of contact.

If you have a fever and new continuous cough and have toothache, please CALL 111 who will arrange for you to be seen.

To all our patients, please take care & please avoid social contact where possible to protect yourselves and your families.

We look forward  to seeing you in the very near future.

WHAT IS A DENTAL EMERGENCY:

An emergency is severe unremitting pain, that cannot be managed by normal analgesics; severe swelling or severe bleeding (that cannot be controlled by pressure).  

Stay at home if you have either:

• a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
• a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)

Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.

Use the 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do.
