We hope you are all keeping safe during this difficult time and have managed to enjoy the Easter weekend. Many of our patients have enquired about accessing a dentist in Eastbourne should the need arise. Urgent local dental centres are in the process of being operational. These will have superior covid-19 personal protective equipment and protocols in place to address urgent dental emergencies, such as facial swelling, severe pain or bleeding. As the pandemic and guidance on it progresses we will endeavour to keep our patients informed. We hope to get back to a restricted service as soon as is possible.
