The Government has given the green light for dental practices to reopen in England from 8 June 2020.

For a dental practice to treat you, they will need fully compliant PPE, to exercise social distancing measures and apply appropriate cross-infection control.

This means there may be a delay before your dental practice can fully reopen and the range of treatments on offer might be limited.

Here is a short video which explains what you might expect when visiting your dentist at this time:
