April 2022 Update
Dr Rik Chandarana returning and Covid-19 update
1st April, 2022
New dentist: We are delighted to welcome back Dr Rikesh
Chandarana after a number of years working in the Oral Surgery department at
Treliske. Rik previously worked with us between 2018 and 2020. He will be looking forward to caring for you
on Tuesdays and he is able to look after your children.
Face coverings still mandatory: Please remember that
as dentistry is part of healthcare, you must still wear a face covering for
appointments unless you are exempt. You may be asked for proof of exemption if
you do not wear one. We look after some
extremely poorly patients and we must keep them and our staff safe so that we
can continue to provide care.
Covid-19 infections: We are currently mandated to
Covid-screen every patient and chaperone for Covid-19. For your convenience this is combined with a
reminder call for your appointment.
Please do not enter the practice if you have suspected or confirmed
Covid-19 or if someone at home does.
Your NHS care: NHS dentistry is particularly
vulnerable at the moment, and you may have seen in the news that many thousands
of patients are struggling to be seen. Here at St Agnes Dental Practice, we are
trying our hardest to maintain the high level of care we think you deserve. Please do your part to help and turn up for
appointments on time or give us at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel. This is a reminder that all services with us
will be have to be withdrawn if this requirement is not fulfilled and every
missed appointment affects our ability to continue to provide NHS dentistry as
a whole.
