COVID-19 Update 19/03/2020
NI Department of Health have ordered a complete restriction in aerosol generating procedure, therefore we will not be carrying out routine work, e.g., fillings, crowns, root treatments etc…
NI Department of Health have allowed us to continue carrying out emergency appointments, denture work and fitting of crowns for patients who do not have symptoms of coronavirus.
... Reception when phoning patients for reminders will now be pre-screening patients to see if they have any symptoms of COVID-19 and if so rearranging appointments.
Patients in the specified vulnerable groups should only attend in an emergency situation: • Patients aged 70 or older • Patients aged 70 or younger with underlying health conditions • Patients who are pregnant
We would ask patients to attend appointments alone, when possible, and not to arrive any more than five minutes prior to appointment time.
Thank you for your support and understanding. Nigel McGale

We are delighted that Eimear passed her NEBDN Dental Nursing exams with flying colours.
Another fully qualified member of the team.
We’re all so proud of her!!! 🏆

Happy Birthday to our Receptionist Nicole who celebrated her birthday this week. 🎁 🥳 💓
Throwback to our Christmas night out earlier this month 💃🏽

Your favourite Prosecco, Champagne, sweet rose and sweet dessert wine can be more damaging to your teeth.
Using a straw reduces the contact with the teeth and rinsing the mouth with sips of water helps the saliva in reducing the acidity in the mouth. Enjoy the festive season, but enjoy it responsibly!

Good luck to our trainee dental nurse Eimear sitting her written exam today!
