The service, located within The Orchard Health Centre on Cope Road, is part of the Community Dental Service (CDS) which consists of nine clinics across Oxfordshire.

The Community Dental Team provide specialised care to adults as well as children, who are unable to receive care from a general dental practitioner. The service supports those suffering with anxiety, complex medical conditions and physical or learning disabilities.

Rosalind Mitchell, Clinical Director for the service, said: “We are delighted to have got such a positive response from the people we care for. We all work hard to put our patients at ease and provide the best service we can. It is really encouraging when people take the time to appreciate the effort we put in.”

All patients and service users who receive care and support from Oxford Health are encouraged to provide reviews on the independent I Want Great Care website. Our NHS organisation encourages reviews as they help our teams learn where the quality and standards of care can be improved. It also lets us know where our clinicians are providing compassionate care and allows us to publicly recognise their work.

Below are just a few of many positive comments the team has received:

“The staff made me feel comfortable at every stage, very understanding and friendly.”

While a parent of a patient said: “We have received the most excellent treatment, my child was terrified of the dentist and I never imagined he would be able to complete his treatment. Everyone here has been amazing.”

Another happy visitor said: “Heather was fantastic, she made me feel really safe and not afraid as did all her assistants, l love my lovely straight teeth and smile!”
