Before attending your appointment, it’s worth taking a moment to think about how you’re feeling, and whether anything might affect your treatment or the safety and comfort of you, our team, or other patients.
Please get in touch to rearrange if:
You have an active cold sore. We’re unable to carry out dental treatment while a cold sore is present, so the earlier you let us know, the more notice we have to find you a new slot.
You’re currently experiencing sickness or diarrhoea. Please don’t attend the practice while this is ongoing.
You have a contagious illness or infection, such as chickenpox, shingles, or hand, foot and mouth disease, or anything else that could easily be passed on to others.
You have a high temperature or feel significantly unwell, particularly if you’d struggle to comfortably sit through treatment.
You don’t necessarily need to cancel for the smaller things.
A mild cold, an occasional cough, hay fever, a headache, or similar minor symptoms usually won’t stand in the way of your appointment going ahead, so long as you feel well enough to attend.
If you’re ever unsure, just give us a call on 01772 953510 before cancelling. Our team will be happy to talk it through with you based on how you’re feeling and what treatment you’re booked in for.
Where you do need to rearrange, the earlier you can let us know, the better, it means we can offer your slot to someone else who needs it.
