Dental practices in England have been told they can reopen from Monday, 8 June, if they put in place appropriate safety measures.The British Dental Association (BDA) has welcomed the announcement but says key questions remain.
In a letter to all practices, NHS England's chief dental officer, Sara Hurley, said:"Today, we are asking that all dental practices commence opening from Monday, 8 June for all face-to-face care, where practices assess that they have the necessary IPC and PPE requirements in place."

All well and good, but no thanks.
DENTISTS. ENGLAND. Monday 8 June. Dentists will be able to reopen from Monday 8 June, provided they take safety precautions including using protective equipment. coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) COVID19
Dental professionals are most at risk of catching Covid-19! High aerosol generating environment. This puts patients at risk. Especially as the guidelines don’t suggest the highest level of PPE for staff. Irresponsible governing by bodies who should be protecting us! Too soon!
Thank god, I'm on my second set of antibiotics for this tooth 😭😭😭
Pantyface.
Surely you mean reopen “wide”
Perfect...my next appointment is 5 June! 🤦🏻♀️
You will find that patients are going to be restricted in regards to their treatment and it actually says practices will open if safe to. Don’t get tour hopes up.
Strange as my Appointment for June 20th been cancelled, all appointments for June and July been cancelled at that dentist 🤷🏻♀️
At 2.30
That’s good. Massive back log though.
Why not a slow ramp up in services, rather than the 0 to 100 approach? Queue further PPE shortages, and increase in case numbers linked to reopening too quickly.
any news on opticians?! i’m blind as hell
Now this is the best news ever. 😍 lockdownToothache 😩
This is actually one of the things I've been hoping for; need some dental attention & need routine NHS stuff to resume (eye issue)
Грустная новость
Hope patients are aware that dentistry, like McDonaldsUK , will be opening with a limited menu!
Totally get the health implications for dentists. Teachers - not so much.....if shop workers delivery drivers medical personnel etc can work. I am saying this having 4 kids. Two are catered for. Two have didily. Not acceptable. More consistency of virtual learning needed.
StevePeers Thank God!

So why not hairdressers?
Good need 2 sorting out asap
Good
I did not hear the government say this, if it is correct it is good news.
Any idea when opticians reopen
And what about those who are shielding?
Imagine your dentist has the virus himself, you will be positive by the time you walk out.
Nevermind that WHAT ABOUT HAIRDRESSERS?!!!!
Is there a date for opticians opening? Asking for a friend.
Dont need a dentist, do need a damn barber tho... 10DowningStreet
