Care Dental Tidworth

About

Care Dental Tidworth, based at The Castle Practice in Tidworth, serves patients with a focus on pre-booked appointments. During busy periods, the practice asks that visitors only attend if they have an appointment, and for other queries patients are directed to use the contact options and contact form. The practice also outlines appointment instructions for COVID-19, including that only the person with the booking should enter, with the receptionist collecting patients when it is safe. To help reduce foot flow and support social distancing, patients are asked to wait outside the Doctors front door and complete a pre-appointment pack on arrival, including updating medical history and any medications. The guidance also requests that patients do not attend if they have a cough, cold symptoms, or if they have had contact with someone with COVID-19, with rescheduling available by calling the practice. Inside the surgery, the dentist will call patients in, and both dentist and nurse wear PPE, which may limit conversation. Patients are asked to disinfect their hands on arrival, wear a face mask at all times except in the dental treatment room, and minimise time in the reception area. Payment is accepted by card, following the practice’s measures to keep the environment safe.
