Coronavirus (Covid-19) Update - Temporary Closure - Emergency Telephone advice available

(Click here for Emergency Self Help Guidance)

Patients and friends of Firs Dental & Firs Premier,

 

Our fantastic team have been working endlessly to keep our practice a safe and clean environment for you all.

 

Controls and measures to prevent infection are at the heart of everyday life at the practice and we continually improve these. In addition to these, we have been paying close attention to all the government guidance and updates related to the Coronavirus and have followed accordingly.

Given the unprecedented situation in the UK regarding the rapidly spreading COVID-19 virus, we feel we must use our own clinical judgement and act in the best interests of our patients, staff and the wider public.

 

We feel it is essential that we do our part to reduce the spread of this virus, and in turn reduce the curve and pressure put upon front line staff, and so, it is the right time to temporarily close the practice. It has been a difficult decision for us all. At the appropriate time, when it is safe to do so, we will resume all services on the advice of the government. We will of course keep you updated with the latest information via our facebook, Instagram, Twitter accounts and practice website.

 

Looking after the health of our patients is our absolute priority and so we will be operating an Emergency Telephone Consultation service for our patients who have urgent pain or swelling during this period. If you urgently need assistance, please call us on 0116 267 4254 or refer to our Emergency Self Help Guidance

As a team, we are doing everything possible to remain well so that we can continue our excellent dental care for you when we return. 

 

Thank you for your support.

Stay home, save lives and stay safe.

The Team at Firs Dental & Firs Premier
