We are still OPEN and here for you!
Hello from Ealing Dental Specialists,
We hope you are keeping safe and well in these strange times. We understand it’s a difficult time for everybody, especially if you have any worries about your braces. To help, we thought we’d update you as to what we’re doing here at Ealing Dental Specialists and share some professional tips to keep yours and your family’s oral health in the best condition. .
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES DUE TO COVID-19
We have introduced spaced out appointments and have minimised procedures that pose a greater risk. We continue to provide a very effective level of PPE to all patients so that transmission risk is really very low. We will also be screening as thoroughly as before to make the Practice environment as safe as possible.
EMERGENCY ORTHODONTIC CARE
If you have an emergency please call the practice during the times: Monday to Thursday 8.00 am – 8:00 pm, Friday 8:00am – 5:30pm and Saturdays from 9am – 3pm, where one of our helpful receptionists will book an appointment in for you. Out of these hours, please a message or drop us an email and someone will return your call, the next morning.
Please contact us by phone on 02085674483 or via email or our website.
1. Brace: If your bracket/ brace/ wire is loose – please use wax where you can and call the practice for more information and an appointment can be booked in for you
2. Retainers: If your retainers are broken, please contact us as soon as possible as we may be able to get these made and sent directly to you in the post or book you in an appointment.
3. Elastics: We would advise you to continue wearing these until run out, and we could send some over to you via post, or you could come to the practice to collect some.
4. Not sure? If you are unsure, please do not hesitate to contact the practice and we can talk you through any concerns.
Your care and comfort is our priority and we will provide as much guidance and support as possible. Urgent Dental Care Centres, which have been set up across London to assist patients who are in desperate need of emergency treatment can be avoided, as we are up and running and able to treat you and any emergencies.
ROUTINE APPOINTMENTS
If you have an appointment scheduled for a date in the future, you should still attend unless informed otherwise. We are still open and running so these appointments will not be rescheduled.
NEW PATIENT CONSULTATIONS
If you are looking to make a new appointment for example, a new consultation appointment, please contact us directly (phone/ email/ website) and we can get this arranged and booked in the diary for as soon as possible.
We Will Keep You Updated
In the coming weeks, through a series of articles, we hope to keep you informed and provide our patients, their families and community with helpful advice and tips that we feel might be of use during this difficult time. Our principal, Dr. Roopa Kukadia receives regular updates from the Chief Dental Officer, Local Dental Committee and other regulatory bodies and we plan to keep you informed of any changes through a series of newsletters, so please keep an eye out for all the up-to-date information regarding your orthodontic treatment and care.
