Hello Everyone, we hope you are all staying safe at this time.

 

We are following all the government guidelines and taking all the safety precautions we can to ensure the safety of our patients and our team. This means that we will not be seeing vulnerable patients for routine check up if there is no pain.

 

We will be available for emergencies such as severe pain and swelling and some treatments, our phone line will be open to calls in the morning if you have any concerns. We are currently only seeing patients in the morning in order to reduce the risk of COVID-19. When we are not present at the practice we will leave our practice mobile number in the voicemessage if you need any urgent care.

 

Thank You,
The Team @ Hatherley Dental
