*** COVID-19 Update ***
Nichols and Fisher Have Resumed Routine Dental Care
We are incredibly pleased to inform you that Nichols and Fisher Dental Care are now able to return to the provision of routine dental treatments alongside our continuing emergency dental care provision but please note that we are working at a much slower rate and a much reduced capacity due to the continuing Covid restrictions in health care.
Routine examinations can only be booked through calling reception at the moment.
If you missed your routine check up over the last 12 months then please call us to rearrange it.
We have been forced to cancel thousands of appointments since the pandemic began and we ask that you please take into consideration this huge backlog we are currently facing. Alongside this we must now abide by new cross infection guidelines, resulting in us seeing fewer patients per day.
If you have any dental concerns or problems and would like to reschedule your appointment sooner please contact us and we will try to accommodate this.
If you have a dental emergency please call the practice at 8.45am any weekday and we will do our best to ensure you have a consultation with a dentist on the same day.
If you have any symptoms of COVID please ring our reception team and they will advise you on how to proceed, and rearrange to a suitable appointment if necessary.
Please do not enter our practice without a face mask on*
A plastic face shield will not be sufficient in this medical setting
PLEASE DO NOT WORRY IF YOU HAVE MISSED YOUR ROUTINE NHS EXAMINATION APPOINTMENT OVER THE LAST YEAR, YOU ARE NOT AT RISK OF LOSING YOUR PLACE AT OUR PRACTICE
A few changes we've made to keep you safe
PPE for Routine Treatments
PPE if you have Covid symptoms
At Nichols and Fisher, the most important thing is patient safety and comfort, and that is why we have spent the time of closure upgrading the clinic and introducing the following measures to keep our patients and staff SAFER than ever:
-
The clinic as you are aware was always a very clean and safe environment. However, we have placed hand sanitisers at entry points, and upgraded our PPE.
-
We have installed a system that will ensure each surgery's air is changed 15 times per hour. This means between patients all the air in the room will be completely refreshed.
-
We will be conducting pre-screening tests of patients which is likely to include taking your temperature on arrival. Please do not enter our practice without a face covering.
-
Between all appointments as always, the dental team will thoroughly disinfect the dental surgery, door handles and washrooms, reducing the risk of exposure to anything harmful while you are in our practice.
We thank you all for your patience during this difficult time and look forward to seeing you again soon!
* Exclusions to wearing a face mask in our practice:
1) you have a specific medical condition and have been told by a doctor not to wear one.
2) you are under the age of 16.
