COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Update
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
Following updated legal advice regarding the provision of urgent dental treatment, we are now in a position to begin arranging face to face urgent clinical care where our dentists feel this is the appropriate decision for you, your oral health and that treatment cannot be delayed any longer.
We are also continuing to provide remote telephone triage and advice services.
Urgent dental care includes:
*Management of infection
*Trauma
*Management of pain
*Uncontrolled bleeding
*Concerns regarding oral cancer
Please note that routine dental care is not currently available.
Call us on 01264301301
We are delighted and proud to announce that we have installed Air Purification System in the form of Radic8 Viruskiller, so please feel assured that all dental staff will, in addition, be using personal protective equipment (PPE) in line with current recommendations and evidence for our clinical procedures; this is to keep you and us safe. We will also be following an updated attendance policy in line with legislation and guidance to maintain social distancing and in cases where this would be impossible.
We will be in touch with patients who have experienced a dental problem during lockdown who are on our priority list, however, if you feel that you require urgent dental treatment, please do contact us in the first instance.
We currently have a closed-door policy whereby patients can be seen by appointment only.
If we feel that you are at risk of having possibly been infected with COVID-19, even if you are asymptomatic, we will respectfully request you to delay booking any appointments with us for at least one month.
A few things have changed for your future dental appointments and we would like to explain them to you below:
Please try and use the toilet at home before your appointment and refrain from using the toilet at the practice if at all possible. We do understand however, in the case of an emergency this is not always possible.
All steps will be confirmed via text, email and explained on the telephone as well as explained to you on arrival to make sure you understand what is required.
You may notice the additional technology above your head in your dental chair with the name “Viruskiller” on it! It does exactly that and purifies the room continuously to help stop the spread of viruses as well as removing chemicals in the air and helps eradicate triggers for hay fever! The patented, core technology reduces airborne and droplet virus exposure and has been tested against Coronavirus DF2, Adenovirus, Influenza Virus and Poliovirus with a 99.99999% kill rate. We also have a unit in the reception area too, just look for the blue light!
If you are an existing or new patient and require an appointment or simply need help or advice, please contact the practice on 01264301301.
Do let us know if you are concerned or if you are confused with our new system. We ask for you to please be patient with our team throughout these challenging times and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support and understanding.
Stay safe,
from Julian and all of your dental team at New Street Dental Care

Prior to the pandemic, we were able to include the cost of the PPE into the treatment fees. However, there is a higher demand now and the need for additional PPE and due to this our suppliers have increased their prices to almost 1000% for certain items such as masks and gloves. Many dental practices are still unable to open because they have not been able to get this additional PPE. Luckily, we sourced our additional PPE when prices were going up and we did not have to pay the current prices and so we are charging £7.50 in addition to the treatment to cover the extra PPE and cost. We are hoping our stock will survive and that we do not have to buy more at inflated prices and should the need for the extra PPE no longer be essential, then we can easily remove this extra cost. We have also invested in sneeze screens and high tech air filtration systems and sensitive monitoring equipment, which is not included in the PPE fees. We hope you will understand that we need all this to make sure you and our staff are safe, and we do not add to the spreading of this horrible virus.
