Business Bounceback

It’s vital that practice owners and managers plan carefully for the return to normality post Covid-19.

Dear customer, As dental practices start to reopen, this is going to be a very critical time for you, your practice, your team and of course, your patients. So it’s vital that you identify the strategies to allow your business to bounceback and recover profits lost during lockdown. Our bounceback suggestions will give you lots of ideas for how you can do this - including how to lead your team, how to communicate effectively with your patients, how to ensure your practice is ready to reopen, what the new normal might look like and how to look after the health of your business. This includes how to run virtual consultations, helpful marketing ideas, and a Youtube playlist to help you recommission your equipment and get it back up and running. Of course, our service team will also be on hand to help you with any difficulties you have.

We have tried to address many of the concerns that have been raised around infection control and aerosol generating procedures, and how you can incorporate safer measures into your practice and your workflow. There is also a section on the official PPE recommendations and a mask explanation guide.

There are many other ideas to help you prepare for what will become the new ‘normal’ in the world of dentistry. And it’s going to be quite different from how it was before.

So please take a look inside, and if you have suggestions for anything else that will be of benefit to the dental community, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.

Best wishes

Looking after your patients Communicating with your patients has never been so important. So make sure your phones are diverted so that your patients can always communicate with you. The actions you take now will determine the success of your business in the coming months. Following the COVID-19 outbreak, patients will understandably be fearful of coming back to the dentist and may consider postponing non-essential appointments, such as check-ups and hygiene appointments. Therefore your strategy needs to really focus on continuing to educate patients about the importance of oral care and routine appointments as well as the importance of maintaining their dental finance plans to in order for to them avoid potentially hefty increases in future costs.

Patient confidence needs to be restored and they need to understand that the risks of treatment have been minimised. Call your patients 24 hours before their appointment to assess their potential level of risk. For example, have they been self-isolating, or are they an NHS worker in daily contact with COVID-19 patients.

•• Point of care diagnostic tests will almost certainly be available so you can also test your patients when they come into the practice. If you do not test them ensure that at least 3 days have passed since recovery (resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications and improvement in respiratory symptoms such as cough or shortness of breath) and at least 7 days have passed since symptoms first occurred.

•• It is important that you understand the risk profile of your patient demographic so that you can work out which groups are most likely to need encouragement to visit. (EXACT has this functionality).

•• Consider patient financing for those who are in financial difficulty after the crisis. There are many different options available from a range of companies, including Finance4Patients who offer preferential rates for Henry Schein customers.

Looking after your patients

•• Pro-actively manage patient fear and demonstrate the ways in which you are minimising the possibility of infection and thinking about patient safety by reducing contact points and time spent in the waiting room: •• Reduce the number of patients in the practice at any one time.

•• Stagger appointments.

•• Ask patients to complete medical history and consent forms prior to arrival.

•• Ask patients to wait outside or in the car until they are called.

•• Consider having dedicated clinics for ‘vulnerable’ patients.

•• Use automated messages direct from your dental software to communicate your plans to patients.

•• How you are planning for contactless arrivals and departures (see page 20).

Phone all your plan patients (using a script). They are the most loyal patients to you and your practice. Speak to your plan providers first to understand if they can offer payment holidays or other financial assistance, as there may be solutions available for patients who genuinely can’t afford to pay right now. Your patients will be very grateful for this and much more likely to remain with you.

To prepare for this it will be helpful to segment your patient database and create different communication strategies for each group. Every patient will require significant amounts of targeted communication to persuade them of the importance of oral care and to convince them that you are open, safe and infection-free.

You could even put on a webinar or online meeting (Zoom is ideal for this) for your patients to attend, in which you can present to them your new normal and what they can expect in terms of virtual consultations and physical appointments.

Teledentirsty/Remote prescribing

Teledentistry The unprecedented global COVID-19 crisis is significantly impacting the dental industry, changing the way that we work and forcing dentists to leverage creativity to stay productive.

This includes the adoption of new technologies to allow continued ongoing communication with patients. Unfortunately for dentists, remaining productive won’t happen by simply shifting morning huddles to Zoom calls.

Clinicians have to interact with patients, simple as that. They need to stay in touch, be proactive and start marketing their new services.

While your practice is closed, you can continue to offer advice and appointments via video conferencing or phone calls for urgent or emergency appointments. This gives early adopters of teledentistry a real chance to get ahead of the curve and our enforced ‘shutdown time’ presents an opportunity to explore these new possibilities for your practice.

Click here for more information and advice on how to implement teledentistry.

Check out 10 high level principles for good practice in remote consultations and prescribing from the GDC here.

Note from the BDA

Remote dental consultations with your patients are the new normal and we want to help you adapt to these new ways of working. That’s why we’re providing advice to members on how to conduct a remote consultation with patients and to avoid some of the common pitfalls.

In this, we highlight technical issues to look out for, signpost clinical guidance to support your decision-making and also touch upon areas unique to remote consultations. We want to help you maximise the clinical time you spend with your patients. We hope this will give you a loose framework around which to structure your remote consultations whilst keeping you, 6

your teams and your patients safe.

Click here to find out more.

When you launch your teledentistry business – and you can do it fast! - consider setting up a series of education group meetings online to which you can invite your patients and announce your new service. In these meetings you can run through: •• How to keep teeth healthy without visiting the dentist.

•• Oral care at home: rinses, toothbrush advice, interdental brushes, flossing and tongue scrapers.

•• How to minimise oral sensitivity.

•• Share your health and infection control tips.

•• Provide ortho or aligner tips. And much ortho work can continue with trays being posted to patients. The Invisalign website also has a virtual treatment connection.

•• How to request a virtual consultation if patients have inflammation, bleeding or pain.

•• Offer virtual consultations for any patients wanting to discuss treatments, for example aligner treatments or whitening.

To gain further understanding of how you can make teledentistry work for you and your practice, please view our recent webinar

Teledentirsty/Remote prescribing •• Remember you will need to offer a risk assessment for each patient and good advice can be found here and also in Dentinal Tubules’ ‘Risk assessment and protocol for going back to practice’.

•• Check with your indemnifier that you are covered. Click here to see what the MPS/ Dental Protection Society has to say on teledentistry.

•• Patients with urgent dental care needs should be referred to the local Urgent Dental Care centre. It is essential to minimise the number of patients referred to designated urgent dental care centres to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 to healthcare workers and patients, and to lessen the pressure on these services.

•• Appropriate records should be kept of all patient contacts, including care management and onward referrals. This will be essential for contract management calculations for 2020/21.

•• If you have an intraoral scanner or camera, start taking scans of ALL your patients each time you see them. This way you can build up a bank of images of their teeth which will be of great help when you are practising teledentistry. You can also add xrays, and extraoral photographs to their notes.

•• And remember to put a note on your website that you are now open for virtual consultations.

Teledentistry Support Products

You will also need a stock of products which you can send out to your patients to help relieve their symptoms and reduce their pain and inflammation. So we have compiled a list of all the teledentistry support products that might be useful for you to stock. And remember you can pop the items inside a sterilisation pouch to ensure no contamination occurs.

NHS payments for virtual consultations

There is no regulatory framework yet to claim for activity or apply patient charges for a triage via telephone; providers undertaking telephone triage are advised to keep a manual record of patients, with the view that this data collection will help support and inform development of contract management arrangements for 2020/21.

Teledentistry It’s now more important than ever for private practices to have access to an NHS email account. Without one, it will make it much harder for you to be able to make referrals to UDCs and issue prescriptions.

Both NHS and private practices can sign up for NHS email accounts. For private practices, it’s now more useful than ever to have access to an NHS email account.

Without one, it may be harder for you to make referrals to UDCs and issue prescriptions. To access an NHS.net account, private practices need to register and answer 14 questions on data management and security. The BDA has produced a guide for members in private practice on how best to answer these questions. NHS practices must follow a different pathway. Please see the BDA guide for members on completing the full Data Security and Protection Toolkit to sign up.

According to NHS Digital, wait time to apply for and get an account is approx. 10 days at present.

MEDPOD is a new teledentistry solution launched by Henry Schein to allow you to stay personally connected, 24/7, with your patients and to triage dental emergencies and perform post-procedure checks using video consultations. This simple video consultation tool can be used with any smartphone, tablet, or computer. It’s an on-demand, cloud-based, software that requires no downloads or installations.

Marketing

Marketing At this critical time, it’s important not to reduce your marketing. In fact the very opposite. You need to communicate all your practice information, virtual consultations, reopening and infection control processes you are adopting. Let your patients know that you care and that you are here for them.

Don’t forget that your website is your shop window and the best way for you to maintain communication with your patients. Keep it up-to-date, refresh the content and encourage your patients to visit regularly for help and support while you are closed.

It’s essential that you have a clear message on your website homepage, that includes: •• Your updated opening hours - or if closed a statement to that effect •• Contact information for emergency cases •• Your Covid-19 hygiene update for when you reopen A nice way to make sure that everyone sees your message is to add a popup.

If you have some extra downtime, there are 6 simple things you can do (without anyone’s help) to convert more online traffic into new patients.

1. Optimise your Google My Business (GMB) profile If you haven’t yet claimed your GMB listing - then you should do so immediately. To start the process, Google search for your own business. Go to Google maps and you should find your business. When you, do, click the listing and then click the “Own this business” link.

When people search for a dentist on Google, most likely they’ll see your GMB profile first, before your website: •• Make sure the information section is completely filled out (including the services you offer and the region you serve) •• Upload more photos

•• Set-up messaging: a new feature that allows people to message you from GMB •• Manage and respond to reviews

2. Clean up directories •• If you’ve ever invested in SEO for your practice, the chances are the company listed your business on a variety of directories like yelp, yellowpages, hotfrog, canpages, etc. to improve your Google rankings.

•• You should make sure that the business NAP (name, address, phone number) and hours are the same as your GMB profile because it’ll hurt your Google rankings if they aren’t (Google likes consistency).

•• Writing your practice’s story on the ‘Our Story’ section of your Facebook page tells people what values your practice stands for and why you’re different from the rest.

•• Same with your Instagram bio: add one or two lines about what makes you unique.

•• Delete any ‘low-quality photos’.

•• Delete any stock images, memes or any content that doesn’t create trust, affinity, and establish a connection with people, but was just put up for the sake of putting up content.

your patients consider whether under GDPR your message is of legitimate interest. If so, you can send communications to all patients instead of just those who have opted in. The Information Commissioner has clearly announced that data protection concerns should not stand in the way of appropriate information sharing.

5. Don’t forget to do some marketing campaigns around your teledentistry solution. This will help you attract new patients. You can also use time in the evenings and weekends to do it. Plus your hygienist and treatment coordinator can manage relevant patients.

6. Create posters to display on your front door and through the practice to advertise the measures you are taking to make your dentistry safe.

7. You can also text your customers with important messages and communications.

Infection control

Aerosol generating procedures SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is thought to be spread primarily through respiratory droplets. Airborne transmission from person-to-person over long distances is unlikely. However, the contribution of aerosols, or droplet nuclei, to close proximity transmission is currently uncertain. The virus has been shown to survive in aerosols for hours and on surfaces for days. However, it is unclear whether these particles actually are sufficient to cause an infection. There are also indications that patients may be able to spread the virus while pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic.

The practice of dentistry involves the use of rotary dental and surgical instruments such as handpieces or ultrasonic scalers and air-water syringes. These instruments create a visible spray that contains large particle droplets of water, saliva, blood, microorganisms, and other debris. This spatter travels only a short distance and settles out quickly, landing on the floor, nearby operatory surfaces, DHCP, or the patient. The spray also might contain certain aerosols. Surgical masks protect mucous membranes of the mouth and nose from droplet spatter, but they do not provide complete protection against inhalation of airborne infectious agents.

Aerosol Generating Procedures (AGPs): •• Use of high speed handpieces for routine restorative procedures •• Use of Cavitron, Piezosonic or other mechanised scalers •• Polishing teeth •• High pressure 3:1 air syringe (NB Risk of aerosols could be reduced when using a 3:1 if only the irrigation function is used, followed by low pressure air flow from the 3:1 and all performed with directed high volume suction.

Dry guards, cotton wool or gauze can also help with drying and moisture control) •• Opening teeth for drainage has now been added to this list.

12

Contact our service desk on 0800 028 4749

Non-AGPs •• Examinations •• Hand scaling with suction •• Non-surgical extractions (NB If this became a surgical extraction, a slow speed reducing handpiece could be used for bone removal, with cooling provided using saline dispensed via a syringe along with high speed suction. If this is not a suitable option, temporisation or referral would need to be considered) •• Removable denture stages •• Removal of caries using hand excavation or slow speed handpiece if necessary If it’s possible for you to reserve one of your surgeries for AGPs this may be a good solution.

There is currently no data available to assess the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission during dental practice or to determine whether DHCPs are adequately protected when providing dental treatment using standard precautions.

The evidence review will continue to be updated in light of emerging evidence for this new pathogen.

Of course there is the risk, not only of infection for the whole dental team, but also patient to patient infection. Consequently there will be an even greater emphasis on hygiene, PPE, decontamination and infection control.

Measures to reduce aerosol Consider purchasing medically certified air purifier units for your surgery/ies and waiting room, such as the Radic8 Viruskiller which is proven to destroy 99.9999% of certain viruses in a single pass. Air purifiers may reduce the time you need to leave between patients. For further information and prices, please check out our equipment website.

Infection control

Aerosol generating procedures The use of a 60 second pre-procedural mouth rinse along with the use of high volume suction apparatus significantly reduces the aerosol contamination and hence chances of cross-infection. Chlorhexidine, which is commonly used as a mouthrinse in dental practice, may not be effective to kill 2019-nCoV. Since 2019-nCoV is vulnerable to oxidation. A mouthrinse containing oxidative agents such as 1% hydrogen peroxide or 0.2% povidone is recommended, for the purpose of reducing the salivary load of oral microbes, including potential 2019nCoV carriage. A preprocedural mouthrinse would be most useful in cases when rubber dam cannot be used.

Click here to see a study on the most effective mouthwash to reduce the potential concentration of Covid-19 in the oral cavity.

And here for a useful white paper.

Ventilation will also be very important. You will probably need to open the windows when AGPs are used.

There are several other practical measures which can be taken to reduce aerosol splatter and these include: •• Use high volume intra-oral evacuation for treatments that involve an AGP (aerosol generating procedure).

Click here to find out more about Isolite and Isovac which have been proven in 3 clinical trials to reduce by 90% the aerosol and moisture created during dental procedures.

•• Use a high volume extraoral evacuator.

Henry Schein have been researching and assessing the available and technology.

•• Rubber dams also offer protection and should be incorporated for use within all aerosol-generating procedures. For routine hygiene procedures, a split dam technique may be an option.

Consider using electric contra angle handpieces rather than high speed turbines.

If you don’t have a chair motor, BA offer a plug and play motor to convert the chair for this purpose.

14

Contact our service desk on 0800 028 4749

Electric ones provide a consistent torque that does not decrease with resistance and higher load. Other advantages of electric handpieces include: •• They tend to produce a smoother and more precise cutting edge, due to the stable speed. The electric handpiece is more efficient at cutting various materials used in dentistry, especially machinable glass ceramic, silver amalgam, and high noble alloy, than the air-turbine handpiece.

•• Smaller head diameter results in a better sight of the preparation area.

Patients tend to prefer electric handpieces because they are quieter and don’t produce the same vibratory sensation.

•• Most models are equipped with an LED light.

•• Ultrasonic scaling generates significant aerosol. Hand scaling is a minimally invasive approach to periodontal care which reduces patient discomfort from the sensitivity linked with root surface instrumentation. It also appears to give the same long-term results in terms of treatment outcomes. Some US states are recommending hand scaling only. It may be prudent not to polish until further advice has been issued. Consider buying some new scalers with silicone, ergonomic handles.

Good posture and the possibility of incorporating reinforced scaling techniques to reduce repetitive strain, carpal tunnel and tendonitis may further help with long-term use of hand instruments.

View Imogen Fox’s article on COVID-19 and periodontal management with a response from Professor Iain Chapple.

•• Consider using a laser where possible.

For example, the Waterlase uses 80% less water compared to the ISO 14457 recommended flow rate for high-speed handpieces.

Aerosol generating procedures 90% of aerosols can be removed with proper high volume evacuation. Studies show that Isolite is more effective in reducing aerosols and spatter than using a rubber dam + HVE, or an HVE alone.

Not only that, but because Isolite provides continuous isolation, retraction, and suction, you will not require an assistant to evacuate liquid and debris.

•• Sealant procedures can be done up to 25% faster •• Sealants are 95% intact at 12 months

“

•• You can increase patient satisfaction by 69%.

“With conscious sedation, it’s extremely important that we protect our airway. That’s one of the main reasons that I use the Isolite, not only because I am protecting that airway, but also it makes me be more efficient since I can be working on two quadrants at the same time.”

Dr. Ana Vazquez

“I’ve worked without an assistant, using an Isolite, not just for having it as an extra set of hands, but also for evacuating aerosols which is incredibly important at this time.”

Infection Control

Check out our daily PPE availability here

PPE and Masks PPE and masks: FFP3 mask, eye screen, apron and gloves are essential for all patient contact for non-COVID-positive patients. This recommendation will remain in place until the current trajectory of COVID has flattened. For other direct patient care, a fluid-resistant (type IIR) surgical mask remains appropriate.

Government advice for PPE to use with, and without, AGPs (including advice for donning and doffing) can be found here.

There is a very helpful document from the European Centre for Disease prevention and Control here.

And there is a useful video here.

Perform hand hygiene before putting on PPE. The order for putting on PPE is apron or gown, surgical mask or respirator, eye protection and finally gloves.

For removal, gloves are firstly removed, followed by the apron or gown, eye protection and finally mask or respirator. Hand hygiene should immediately follow removal of PPE. Check out the henry Schein guide to masks, types of masks and their properties here Click here to find out how much extra protection an FFP3 mask offers over FFP2 in the dental surgery. From the evidence presented, there would appear to be small

additional protection (0.4%) offered by FFP3/ FFP2 masks compared to a surgical facemask during aerosol generating procedures in the dental environment if high volume suction and rubber dam are used in combination.

In the absence of rubber dam this difference increases to 7%.

If your FFP3 mask has an exhalation valve, you should consider using a surgical mask to cover it to protect the patient. Valved FFP3 masks may represent a risk by directing unfiltered exhaled breath toward a patient when asymptomatic clinicians can be COVID positive. Further advice on this from the BAOS and BAOMS can be found here.

There is a lot of useful information from Public Health England and the FGDP including which PPE to use for different clinical settings.

Explore your PPE options and ensure that you have an adequate supply of FFP3 masks (currently in short supply and unavailable from Henry Schein though we are working hard to source them).

Unfortunately, it is no surprise that at this time, counterfeit and non-compliant PPE products are appearing on the market.

Click here for more information on mask specifications and further contact details.

Gowns The NHS and Public Health England recommend the use of long-sleeved disposable fluid repellent gowns (covering the arms and body) or disposable fluid repellent long-sleeved coveralls/apron for aerosol generating procedures or when working in higher risk areas. Staff need to be trained in the safe removal of coveralls. If non-fluidresistant gowns are used, a disposable plastic apron should be worn underneath.

Where an AGP is a single procedure, PPE is subject to single use with disposal after each patient contact or procedure as appropriate.

If wearing an apron rather than a gown (bare below the elbows), and it is known or possible that forearms have been exposed to respiratory secretions (for example cough droplets) or other body fluids, hand washing should be extended to include both forearms.

Wash the forearms first and then wash the hands.

See article on What is the most appropriate gown/apron for preventing Covid-19 contaminated fluids transfer in dental practice?

You may consider purchasing an industrial washing machine so that staff are not taking infected garments out of the practice.

For instructions on laundering re-usable gowns from the Health and Safety Executive click here.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also recommend that procedures are established to routinely inspect, maintain (eg mend a small hole in a gown, replace missing fastening ties), and replace reusable gowns when needed (eg when they are thin or ripped).

Infection Control

Infection Control Other Factors Your team •• Consider testing your team for Covid-19 regularly. Screen them at the beginning of their shift for fever and respiratory symptoms. Document shortness of breath, new or change in cough, and sore throat.

If they are ill, have them put on a facemask and leave the workplace.

•• Provide masks and hand gels for your team to use outside the practice and at home.

•• All team members should wear masks and goggles at all times in the practice.

•• Consider double gloving: once treatment is finished take the second pair off, then doff remaining PPE with the first pair. If required use alcohol hand gel to disinfect the first pair of gloves as required during doffing.

•• Create a disinfection protocol. For example, before staff leave the clinic encourage them to remove their clothes and apply disinfectant solution to all exposed skin including the face and the neck. All used clothing should be bagged and immediately laundered. Upon arriving at home all staff members should shower for a thorough full body wash of at least 15 minutes before changing into fresh clothing.

•• Make sure you are familiar with all the latest infection control advice. Dentisan has lots of useful videos, education, infection control training and CPD (both online and inpractice). Their products are exclusively available from Henry Schein. If you are initially quiet when you re-open, it could be a good time to run an in-practice infection control refresher training course for your team. Click here to book.

•• The ADA is recommending (interim guidance) that DHCPs may use extraoral dental radiographs such as panoramic radiographs or cone beam CT, as appropriate alternatives to intraoral dental radiographs during the outbreak of COVID-19, as the latter can stimulate saliva secretion and coughing.

•• Use resorbable sutures to eliminate the need for a follow up appointment.

20

Contact our service desk on 0800 028 4749

•• Minimise your use of 3-in-1 syringe as this may create droplets due to forcible ejection of water/air.

•• Stay on top of the new infection control products which are being launched to combat COVID-19 – for non-dental as well as dental equipment.

•• Use wipe clean keyboards where possible.

•• Consider a respiratory protection programme eg a medically certified air purifier unit, overhead uv-c decontamination or a negative pressure room in high risk settings, where patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 may be isolated).

•• Think about the flow of movement within your clinic. There may be some recommendations for patients to enter one way and healthcare workers to enter another - at least for patients requiring isolation treatments (eg those with suspected COVID-19, discharged from hospital in the last 14 days or requiring an AGP).

•• Whole room sterilisation will be required between patients. When an AGP has been undertaken, it is recommended that the room is left vacant with the door closed for 20 minutes in a negative pressure isolation room or one hour for a neutral pressure room prior to performing a terminal clean.

•• You will also need a clean room where staff can get changed in and out of PPE. •• Hypochlorous acid is rapidly emerging as the new go-to sanitiser during the COVID-19 pandemic. HOCl is being widely used in South Korea in their battle against COVID-19, disinfecting everything from food to people to hospital wards and their mass transit systems. Looking at the way in which they have taken control of the spread of the virus it is clear to see that HOCl can also help the UK to gain the upper hand in this struggle. How does HOCl compare to other common disinfectants such as Bleach? They are actually from the same chlorine family.

Research shows that both bleach and HOCl kill bacteria, fungus, spores, and viruses.

However, bleach is highly irritating to the

eyes, skin, and lungs—and inhalation over long periods could be carcinogenic. In contrast, HOCl has a mild, temporary chlorine-like smell that dissipates quickly, it is non-irritating, and it does not have poisonous side effects.

•• When compared to alcohol-based sanitisers, HOCl fares even better. Whilst both are effective against viruses, fungi and bacteria, alcohol-based sanitisers do not kill bacterial spores. It can be used to treat dental unit water lines. Click here to see how it can be used in-practice.

•• Consider purchasing a flag system for your surgeries to indicate which of them are clean and which are waiting for a clean.

•• Following treatment, write notes in a different room.

•• Use waiting room and operatory chairs that can be wiped down (no seams or cloth).

•• The shoes of healthcare workers and the floor can be a hotspot for the virus so floors should be cleaned more frequently and disposable shoe covers or shoe sole disinfection may be incorporated into the contamination control measures.

•• Consider purchasing more single use products and disposable items. Try to purchase environmentally-friendly products.

Henry Schein will be introducing a range of products to help you manage infection control, such as door openers, screens to protect your receptionists and customers and social distancing stickers to display in your waiting room to indicate socially acceptable distances between patients. More information to follow.

The new normal

The new normal Your back to practice protocol

The office of the Chief Dental Officer (CDO) for England has provided a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the transition towards the resumption of the full range of dental provision. There are also earlier summary guidelines on how dentists in England should prepare for the resumption of routine care.

For Wales, click here to view the document for the COVID-19 de-escalation plan.

For Scotland, click here.

For Northern Ireland click here.

The Irish return to practice protocol can be found here.

The DDU have also made their position clearer.

Dental practitioners are encouraged to review and make the appropriate adjustments to protocols, procedures and practice infrastructure for the safe and effective resumption of routine dental care. Further guidance will follow, which will cover urgent dental care and alternative (non-AGP) evidence-based care planning.

There are several other official toolkits available to help DHCPs plan for their postCOVID-19 world. These include proposals for communications, checklists, and strategies for keeping both patients and staff safe in the waiting room, chairside and the office.

The American Dental Association toolkit can be found here.

Advice from the New Zealand Dental Council can be found here.

Guidance for resuming deferred and preventive dental care from the California Department of Public Health can be found here As part of the preparations for recommencing the provision of dental treatments, Dentinal Tubules have put together a playlist of recommended Tubules Talks that combine

all these training aspects.

This will also help all practice staff approach their return in a safe and practical and sustainable way, in line with the CDO’s new SOP list of training requirements.

BDA

BDA members can also access the BDA’s new toolkit for returning to face-to-face care (login required).

Before performing urgent care, the BDA strongly advises that you carry out a full risk assessment, including telephone triage, before agreeing to see any patient face-toface. They have developed risk assessment guidance to help members do this: click here for COVID-19 risk assessment guidance for members (login required). It has been updated with additional recommendations on record keeping. It is likely this guidance will change often so please keep an eye on this page for new versions. We urge you to read this guidance to support you in providing urgent care.

Victor Chan, the Chair of the BDA’s International Affairs Committee, has taken a look at how other countries are preparing to increase dental activity as lockdown restrictions are eased. He takes a look at what countries such as Australia, Norway, New Zealand and Canada are doing on important issues such as personal protective equipment (PPE) and aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs). These are unprecedented times. As the UK looks towards opening up dentistry again, there is a lot we can learn from what is being tried elsewhere.

The new patient journey

Make sure your patients know what to expect before they come back in person.

Send them detailed instructions on what measures you have implemented and what they will have to do when they arrive.

Welcome back reassurance sample letters can be found here.

•• Pre-appointment screening – call your patients 24 hours before their appointment and ask some screening questions.

In-practice patient screening takes place when the patient arrives. Here is a useful screening form for you to use on both occasions.

•• The first step is to identify suspected cases of COVID-19. Measure the temperature of the patient using a contactless forehead thermometer. Do you have a fever or have you experienced a fever within the past 14 days?

After the screening questionnaire: If the patient replies yes to any of the screening questions, and his or her body temperature is below 37.3°C, postpone the treatment until 14 days after the exposure event If the patient replies yes to any of the screening questions, and his or her body temperature is 37.3°C or higher, postpone treatment and follow advice on the current guidelines for isolation However, if the patient replies no to all the screening questions, and his or her body temperature is below 37.3°C, treatment should be permitted Finally, if the patient replies no to all the screening questions, but his or her body temperature is 37.3°C or higher, the patient should be directed for further medical care (Peng et al, 2020).

Other considerations

•• Consider team shift working one team in the morning one team in the afternoon.

Applies to treatment staff cleaning staff and lab staff.

•• Communicate the measures you’re taking to make your practice a safer environment by including details in your reminder messages. Prepare templates for your communication during this downtime.

•• Consider installing a ‘hygiene check-in station’ where patients can wash their hands, sanitise and take their temperatures with a contactless forehead thermometer before their appointment.

•• Encourage patients to useless contactless payment systems such as Apple Pay. However you can also purchase adhesive barrier film to put over the keys on your PDQ and remove after each patient has input their pin.

•• Follow-up your patients after 14 days to check whether they have developed any symptoms post-appointment.

•• Use social media channels to stay in touch with patients and also attract new ones.

The CSR Coach

Positioning your Business for Success in the Post-COVID World

After a long lockdown, face-to-face dentistry is returning. But the world has changed. Our teams, patients and the public continue to live through a situation that is unprecedented in our lifetime. And the expectations of business from our staff, patients and the public have come more sharply into focus. Even before lockdown, almost 90% of people said they expected us to ‘be responsible’: keeping our teams safe, well informed and cared for, looking after and communicating with our patients and doing what was possible to help our communities. The businesses that did this well have avoided many of the problems that those that didn’t are facing right now - departing patients, staff reluctant to return from furlough, or causing disruption with negative attitudes.

The key to post-Covid recovery The businesses that are doing the best coming out of lockdown are those who have continued to act responsibly and do the right things. There’s a reason for this. The future of successful business is holistic. And our communities are looking to us to show them we are doing the right thing. They are looking for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The CSR Coach helps businesses to grow with purpose. We make sure their business covers all their social and environmental responsibilities effectively and builds a reputation as the kind of business that people want to work for and buy from.

What can CSR do for me?

• Help you to attract and retain a more engaged team - increase productivity, reduce staff turnover • Fulfil your environmental responsibilities - allay your staff and patients’ concerns • Engage with and impact your community and good causes - make a difference and boost team morale • Demonstrate simply and clearly that you’re a responsible business - build your reputation and increase trust

If you’re like the many practices we talk to, you’re more and more aware of the need to think about how responsible your practice is. Demonstrating that you’re environmentally and socially responsible are now imperative if you want to reassure patients and staff that you’re a ‘good’ business to deal with - that you have a conscience, and that you care about your community.

CSR Coaching We understand that you’re busy and might need some help putting a plan in place. Perhaps you want an expert to handle everything for you, or some additional input to guide your team. Whatever stage you are at, we have a coaching solution to help you - from group webinars to face-to-face consultancy, and bespoke planning and supported implementation. We can take the thinking off your desk and get a simple and effective CSR plan in place that matches your business and team. Download our free 60 Minute CSR Plan at TheCSRCoach.uk

A business should never be considered complete until it has its own CSR, however big or small. Our CSR projects make us appreciate our current surroundings and have brought us together as a team, which is invaluable and something that money simply can’t buy.

Association of Independent Dental Surgeons (UK & Eire) 31st May 2020

PANDORA Group: An Independent Think Tank Dear Colleague:

Pandora Dental represents many of the UK & Eire’s leading independent dental practices and was founded in recognition of the need for evidence-based best practice and guidance during the Covid-19 pandemic.

They provide information and feedback from highly experienced primary care dental clinicians to support the key policy and decision makers in UK dentistry.

In conjunction with the IndepenDent Owners Group, they have recently launched their new Back to Work Protocol.

In anticipation of the reopening of private/independent dental practices closed since late March we offer here some templates for the required additional documentation following Covid-19 to supplement practice manuals in accordance with the requirements of the CQC and GDC. As the evidence base is in flux this can only be viewed as a living document. Consequent to the changing requirements adoption of this document must be the subject to continued and frequent review. Although every effort has been made to check the accuracy of the materials presented here within the context of the current evidence base it is an absolute requirement that ultimate ownership of the final template must by necessity rest with the individual practitioner. It is not a perfect document however we trust that it will prove of considerable help to you as you face the challenges of the post covid-19 era.

We have endeavoured very hard indeed to produce this set of working documents and they represent many hundreds if not some thousands of hours of work by our dedicated team.

My particular thanks are due to the following individuals who worked tirelessly to help colleagues such as yourself return safely to practice:

Diary management

The new normal EXACT

As you prepare to return to work, there are some essential tasks you must complete within EXACT before re-opening. To guide you through these tasks we have compiled a collection of ‘how-to’ videos that are now available on SOE’s YouTube channel Topics covered include: Patient Communication •• Enable appointment reminders and editing SMS and email templates with new protocols •• Enable automatic recall reminders •• Create lists of patients to send mass communications to (email or SMS) about reopening and new protocols Patient Management •• Import Covid-19 custom screens •• Consider contactless arrivals and departure Diary management •• Prioritise patients with ongoing treatment using Care Manager •• Use the Short Notice List to increase diary utilisation •• NHS practices – tidy open UDA courses of treatment and rollover your NHS contract •• Creating a wait list for those patients waiting to book specific treatments

Contactless arrivals and departures

•• Prepare for contactless arrivals and departures – the fewer physical touchpoints there are in your practice the less risk there is of transmission. Sending forms direct to patients’ mobile devices prior to the appointment and encouraging self check-in via a QR code and kiosk in reception, combined with contactless payment options on departure, all help to minimise risk.

•• Treatment plans can be emailed in advance having discussed them with the patient so by the time they come in you know exactly what they’re coming in for. Access to these services is free of charge from Software of Excellence until the 1st of September.

Contact our service desk on 0800 028 4749

Bounceback Review

•• Book a complimentary Bounceback review with SOE: during the call, we will consider both risk and fear and how you can navigate them. We will look into the increasing demand for a fully contactless service and the steps you can take to ensure you can provide this contactless experience. In this way, you, your patients and your team will be comfortable returning to work when you reopen your practice. The call will take a maximum of an hour, at a time of your choice. And during this time we will create a bespoke action plan around the following: •• Financial Impact

•• Patient Communications •• Team Engagement This plan will aim to get you and your practice team recuperating lost earnings and get you returning to a full diary in the safest way possible.

To book your consultation simply complete the form and we’ll be in touch to confirm your appointment.

•• Utilise your business data to understand how you can optimise your business recovery.

•• Build a private income stream to fill the gap of patients not coming in for checkups and hygiene appointments etc.

•• If you offer aligner treatments, consider using your downtime to build a pipeline of patients who are interested in orthodontic treatment. This may well also attract new patients to your practice which will help to replace those who don’t come back.

•• Create a pipeline of whitening appointments by booking appointments for your patients (and taking payment) through a video consultation.

•• And a last word, don’t forget to do a full stock check and make sure you use up short dated stock first.

Think about your diary zoning plans and sessions. Which patients do you want to come first thing, last thing and in between? Will you be using two surgeries? Can you limit one surgery (even for part of each day) to AGPs? Manage your appointment planning for reopening by calling and prioritising your patients. Don’t simply rebook patients that have missed appointments during lockdown because your days will be very different. You are likely to see far fewer patients and each will take a much longer time to include prescreening and hygiene measures. So leave a realistic amount of time for each appointment and also for deep cleaning the surgery in between.

Your aim should be to retain your existing patients and to reopen in a structured way by prioritising existing patients in need of restorative work and using short notice lists to fill gaps with check-ups. If you end up with general appointments booked up when someone has an emergency, they may go somewhere else if they cannot be seen by you.

So formulate your priority list as follows: 1. Existing patients who need urgent restorative work focusing on the most highly productive procedures first to start to rebuild your revenue stream. Don’t forget to train your team on this.

2. New patients.

3. Priority patients for check-ups.

4. Set aside clinics for vulnerable patients (those more likely to develop serious illness: older people, people with underlying medical problems, e.g. high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes) at the beginning of the day.

Diary management

Diary management and appointment planning for reopening same time.

•• Block sessions for patients requiring AGPs and for patients requiring non AGPs. •• Plan your AGP sessions at the end of the day.

•• Allow longer time for hygiene appointments with hand scaling.

•• Covid-19 positive patient emergency slots can be limited to the end of the day only or they may be referred to your local UDC. It’s likely that hot sites or urgent dental care centres will continue to operate and treat patients who need urgent treatment but have the symptoms of COVID-19.

•• Manage your time very carefully and make sure nobody runs over.

When are you going to start implementing recalls? Your low risk patients could be moved onto annual checkups. If they’re on a patient plan, explain your decision and offer them a double appointment when they next come in so they still have the same amount of time allocated. Most patients should be happy with that if you’re explaining it well.

Equipment Technical Service

Before you reopen, recommission your equipment and ensure that it is in good working order. Recommission your treatment centres by cleaning and disinfecting Dental Unit Water Lines. Using a combination of Bioclear and DipSlides it’s possible to ensure that Dental Unit Water Lines are fully compliant with water quality guidelines prior to seeing your first patient.

Henry Schein recommissioning playlists are available with detailed demonstrations of what to do with your treatment centre, autoclaves, plant room and handpieces.

And if you require the services of our technical team, they can be contacted on 0292 044 2806 (equipment-servicedesk@ henryschein.co.uk). Book early to make sure you get your slot!

Undertake any necessary preventative maintenance on your handpieces: for BA International’s handpiece repair service contact 01604 777 700 (info@ bainternational.com). You should have received one of their yellow repair bags through the door of your practice during closure.

They can also offer a simple service on handpieces to make sure they are fully functional when you return. Click here for more information and offers.

Equipment hygiene considerations

If you need a new treatment centre, or you would be interested in upgrading your current chair for continuous sanitisation, look into those which have the best hygiene options as this will be increasingly important for you and your patients. Some chairs (for example Anthos) offer cost-effective fully automated cleaning and sterilisation solutions for dental unit water lines and vacuum systems, as opposed to a manual cleaning process that requires tablets and or/the measuring out of cleaning solutions. View our dental chair comparison matrix for more information.

And check out our ex showroom and equipment clearance site here.

Equipment training

Have you purchased equipment in the past but not got round to mastering it? Now would be a great time to brush up on training – there’s lots of information and tutorials available online, so you could spend this time getting familiar with it. Many companies have developed online learning programmes for you to do just this eg Dentsply Sirona, 3Shape, Acteon, Ivoclar, Formlabs.

What better time than while you are out of the practice to think about your equipment?

What new equipment do you need? Now is a good time to start putting together a business plan for your bank manager.

Going digital

And if you are thinking of going digital or investing in an intra oral camera or scanner, research the options online.

There are many videos and websites with information and ROI calculators including: •• Henry Schein •• Dentsply Sirona •• Acteon •• 3Shape •• UKdentech •• Ivoclar •• Formlabs

•• Remember intra-oral scanners are less likely to spread infection for both dental and lab teams due to reduced touch points.

•• As well as reducing the work and time involved and they will give you more control.

•• Hygiene options include autoclavable and single use disposable sleeve options.

Plus of course the usual benefits of increased accuracy, consistency of fit, less remakes, less chair time and increased patient engagement and treatment uptake alongside easy patient monitoring.

•• Is your lab digital, will they accept traditional impressions going forward?

•• If you already have a Trios scanner, email charlier@ukdentech.com for a free online tips and tricks session on how to get the most out of your equipment. Click here for what can be covered.

•• Consider purchasing a 3D printer. Not only can you use it for printing temporaries, splints, mouth guards, surgical guides etc, but you can also print your own PPE. Check our 3D printing ebook to find out more.

There is also a Formlabs guide on ‘How to Make Bellus3D’s Face Mask Fitter for COVID-19’ here •• And for the ultimate consider full chairside dentistry which not only offers swift turnaround and minimises infection risk, but speeds up treatment time, gives you maximum control and optimises your cashflow.

•• Check out our helpful scanning ebook for everything you ever wanted to know about the subject.

You can make use of the government’s Bounceback Loan Scheme to purchase new equipment. See page 34 for more information.

Looking after your business

Looking after your business Looking after your staff and patients during this crisis is important, but don’t forget about the needs of your business too. Use this period as an opportunity to take stock. Use the time to strategically plan how to increase your revenue stream, how to service more patients, how to implement new treatment procedures, how to take care of your team members.

So prepare to ramp everything up and to focus on the things that can really help your business to grow.

A great place to start is with the help of Software of Excellence’s Business Insight webinar series, Navigating COVID-19: how to manage risk and fear, and how to help your practice bounce back. This webinar series includes collated content and advice from the government, the BDA and other dental bodies, as well offering insights from global colleagues which will help you plan your next steps.

There are also strategies on how to understand and minimise the impact of the pandemic on your business.

Bounceback loan scheme

On Monday 27 April the Chancellor announced the new Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS) to support loans of up to £50,000 to small businesses with a 100% government-backed guarantee for lenders.

This letter to all accredited lenders under the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) sets out the interest rate that Bounce Back Loans will be offered at, and outlines legislative and regulatory changes being made to support the delivery of the scheme. It also clarifies the interaction between lending under BBLS and CBILS.

Other financial support

Coronavirus job retention scheme covering 80% of workers’ salaries

From 1 July 2020, businesses will be given the flexibility to bring furloughed employees back part time. Individual firms will decide the hours and shift patterns their employees will work on their return - and will be responsible for paying their wages while in work.

From August 2020, the level of government grant provided will be slowly tapered and businesses will be asked to contribute a growing share. But crucially individuals will continue to receive 80% of salary while they are unable to work.

June and July: government will pay 80% of wages up to a cap of £2,500 as well as ER NICS and pension contributions. Employers are not required to pay anything.

August: government will pay 80% of wages up to a cap of £2,500. Employers will pay ER NICs and pension contributions.

September: government will pay 70% of wages up to a cap of £2,187.50. Employers will pay ER NICs and pension contributions and 10% of wages to make up 80% total up to a cap of £2,500.

October: government will pay 60% of wages up to a cap of £1,875. Employers will pay ER NICs and pension contributions and 20% of wages to make up 80% total up to a cap of £2,500.

Government-backed loans of £330 billion which have been made open to all businesses Business interruption loans, with no interest for 6 months, will be available Business support grant funds £10,000 extra cash grant for the smallest businesses.

•• Agree a mutual contractual variation e.g. reduced hours, longer hours and zero hours.

•• LOST (Lay-off Or Short-Time working) •• Redundancy (voluntary, compulsory) •• You wish to introduce a shift pattern and split your dental team, particularly if you extend work hours. This will reduce the whole team’s risk exposure.

Looking after your business

Support for the self-employed currently excludes anyone earning over £50,000. This has an impact on dentists and those in private practice with no access to ongoing NHS earnings. The BDA is lobbying the Chancellor and the Health Minister to extend this financial support.

Staff

Ensuring you manage your practice staffing levels against your appointment book will be one of the key challenges facing practices after lockdown. With salaries to pay and income streams diminished, making the right decisions at the right time will be crucial.

It’s important to note that despite a wide range of interventions put in place by the Government, the principles of employment law have remained the same and therefore any decisions must be made with this in mind.

Outside of any further Government support being available, some of the options that you could consider are: •• Use annual leave or agreed unpaid leave

Whichever option you are looking at, each will come with its own set of risks and procedures.

Petaurum can support and advise you, so that any decisions you make about your workforce will not only be the right ones but also legally compliant.

Leadership

“

Leadership is about change and movement. Management is about order and consistency - and both are needed right now in equal proportions.

Leadership and management Never before will your leadership skills have been so thoroughly tested. You need to remain strong for your staff, lead by example and make sure that your whole leadership and management team does the same. You must be unified.

You need to have a phased return to work plan. Knowledge of the plan should be limited to the management team until the way forward is clear and you are ready to communicate it more widely.

You will need an outstanding clinical leader (which might be yourself) to be present in the clinic every day that you’re seeing patients.

They will need to be able to read the guidelines and decide what you are doing and why, then design your systems and your training plans.

A clinical system, minute by minute of what the patient experience will look like, allowing time to talk to the patient and to deep clean the surgery in between. This is a very responsible role and this person also needs to be a good leader.

Also appoint a nurse lead to be available throughout the clinic. Their job will be to reassure, provide support and check systems.

36

Contact our service desk on 0800 028 4749

Reassure your team that their safety is a priority and communicate regularly: •• Have online weekly update meetings at a regular set time.

•• Have 121 meetings with each member of the team every week when you can speak to them about how they feel, how it’s going and where they need help.

•• 121s are needed for the leadership team.

•• Have a huddle at the start and end of every session with the team involved.

Other leadership support

•• Create a pleasant break out room where the team can maintain social distancing.

•• Have a changing area where the staff can don and doff PPE. •• Create a positive team culture - minimise negative communication within the team by encouraging them to go to their manager or team leader with any concerns.
