We found areas where the standard of cleanliness was not adequate. We saw that there was no coving between the floor and the walls and cupboards in either of the two treatment rooms. Dirt and dust had accumulated in these gaps. The dentist told us that they did not have a documented plan as to how the service was to progress to the best practice standards recommended by the Department of Health, as required by CQC code of practice.
We saw that the service had an annual appraisal system for the dental nurse and the practice manager. The record showed that they were involved in the process and both had signed their appraisal records.
We noted that the majority of comments made during a recent survey had been very positive and there had been no suggestions for improvement given. The comments made included, "No suggestion because you cannot improve on the excellent service you
provide."
The practice manager told us that there was no documented risk assessment for any areas of the practice.
