We have a dedicated decontamination centre which is divided into two rooms- a 'dirty' room where the used instruments are prepared and scrubbed prior to transfer to the 'clean' sterilisation room where these are instruments are sterilised in the autoclaves before being redistributed to the appropriate treatment rooms.
The decontamination centre is at the top of the building so you will often see us going up and down the stairs with specially designed trays for the transport of these instruments. This certainly helps with our fitness and the downward journey always puts a smile on our faces!!
All our sterilising equipment is tested daily prior to your appointments and we use disposable instruments where possible (these are dealt with in the surgery and not carried around the practice). Our equipment undergoes regular and rigorous safety checks so that you can be treated in the safest possible environment.
PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY
We take patients' confidentiality very seriously and your dental records will remain confidential and secure. If you have any concerns, our team will be happy to help you.
ACCESS TO NHS DENTISTRY
We have agreed with Bromley Clinical Commissioning Group (Bromley CCG) to provide NHS services for children only.
PRACTICE VIOLENCE POLICY
We ask that you treat our staff with both courtesy and respect. We adhere to the BDA's Practice Violence Policy and patients that are violent or abusive to our personnel will be refused treatment and immediately reported to both the police and Bromley CCG.
