Covid 19 Update

Since reopening in June, Chesterfield Orthodontics are continuing to implement Covid-19 guidance and we are now in a position to offer a wider scope of appointments.

We have now seen the majority of our patients in active treatment (with a brace). Those not yet seen are because they or a family member have been shielding, or we do not have the correct contact details for you. If you fall into the latter category please email the practice. We continue to work extended hours to ensure all patients can get appointments as quickly as possible.

We ask that you please refrain from visiting the practice; we will be in contact to arrange an appointment.

If you have any problems or concerns please email us.

Visits to the practice will now be very different to safeguard all patients and staff.

The changes include:

• We encourage patients to come into the practice alone. We will then discuss treatment progress with a parent/guardian by telephone after the visit.
• Your temperature will be taken on entry and a hand sanitising station has been set up for you to use.
• The PPE we are now wearing will look a lot different than before however it is essential to ensure the safety of you and the team.
• A one way system has been put in place to maintain social distancing guidelines with a separate entrance and exit.
• If you are invited to accompany a patient, we ask that you wear a face covering throughout your visit.
• The waiting rooms and toilet facilities remain closed.

Please do not visit the practice if you have a high temperature, a new persistent cough, any alteration/loss of taste or smell or have been to a foreign country that requires quarantine/ isolation in the past 2 weeks.

Stay safe.
