‘Freedom Day’ for dentistry?

Monday 19 July won’t have much impact on dentists or people trying to access our services. The ending of lockdown restrictions in England will not be confirmed till 12 July, but it does not look like it will have any direct knock-on effects on the restrictions dentists work under. Indeed, the Secretary of State has already told parliament that it would make sense for guidelines like the 2 metre rule to continue in “some specific settings”, including medical environments. We would like to inform all our patients that we will keep with current approaches, as we await updated guidance from the Chief Dental Officer and the Department of Health and Social Care.
