CORONA VIRUS CRISIS – SERVICE UPDATE 2/4/20
Horbury Dental Care continues to be closed for all face to face contact in line with Government instructions to all dental practices across the country.
We remain open in normal business hours for telephone advice and support only. Please do not attend the practice in person because we are not allowed to see patients face to face.
Please call 01924 211234 to speak to one of our team of dentists who will be happy to help if you have a dental emergency.
In order to support our colleagues in the wider NHS, we are running an emergency service from 8am to 8pm 7 days a week. Outside of business hours, our answer message will give details of a contact number to ring. Please try to avoid calling NHS 111 or your GP for dental problems.
In normal hours, we will arrange a telephone call back appointment from one of our dentists who is able to give advice and recommend self help treatments. Where appropriate prescriptions can be issued for you to collect from the local pharmacy.
Presently there are no services running at any dental practice in the UK to see patients with severe tooth ache. However, NHS England is working hard to open hubs for patients with urgent dental problems without symptoms of COVID 19 to be seen in the local community.
We would like to be one of these hubs and are working closely with NHS England to facilitate this. We had been hoping to give some news on this by today, but unfortunately there has been no progress. This is due to zero availability of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and no training for us in the use of said PPE. We also await training on the introduction of totally new standard operating procedures whilst trying to respect social distancing measures.
Please continue to check our website for updates.
In the meantime, we recommend that you follow government advice to undertake essential travel only.
We are keen to help our local community. If you know of anyone having difficulty going to the shops or collecting medicines, please let us know. We will do all that we can to help.
Please stay at home and protect our NHS
