Rekindling passion in adversity
Petros Mapanda has headed up the team at The Lawns Dental Practi ce in the heart of Long Sutt on for over 4 years, since he took over the practi ce in 2016.The year 2020, of course, has been diff erent to others and it has been the additi onal challenges of conti nuing to provide dental care to the local community amidst the complicati ons of the coronavirus pandemic that have galvanised his passion for being a denti st.
As Petros explains:
“The corona virus pandemic has made the whole world realise how much we depend on each other like never before. This close interdependence has been felt even more by our patient care team at The Lawns Dental Practice. Our patients needed us to be available and reachable for advice and remote consultation throughout the several months of lockdown and I am proud to say we were able to meet the challenges very successfully. Face to face consultations were not possible due to severe shortages of PPE yet our patients’ needs were met and reassurance provided wherever possible. Due to the coordinated response from our patient care team and practice support groups like Pandora Dental Association of Private Dentists we were able to source PPE from various suppliers both at home and abroad.
We were among the fi rst practices to be able to reopen on 8 June 2020 and we are proud to say we have been able to provide routine dental treatment thanks to the additional safety measures we have taken such as the use of face shields and high fi ltration masks, air purifi ers, high volume air and saliva and water evacuation systems, rubber dam and counter safety barriers at reception. Hand disinfectant stations are available at the point of entry and exit from the practice building as well as at every point of entry or exit from room to room within the practice. Contactless payment systems are in place and encouraged to avoid unnecessary touching of surfaces. Toilets are out of bounds for patients except for emergencies needs only.
We have always used disposable gloves, masks and hand towels but we have also added disposable gowns to be worn over our scrubs. Scrubs are laundered daily to prevent cross contamination and staff receive Covid19 risk mitigation assessment such as daily temperature checks and periodic Covid19 antigen and antibody testing. All patients are expected to receive a Covid19 risk mitigation assessment at every visit to the practice. We encourage our patients to use the online appointment booking system via the Practice website www. thelawnsdental.co.uk and to use the NHS Covid19 symptoms checker app. This app links directly into the NHS test and trace system and our practice is a registered site and user of the NHS Covid19 test and trace app.
Petros is eternally grateful to our patients for their loyalty and staff for their dedication to duty of care. The corona virus pandemic is not over by a long shot but Petros and his team believe that this pandemic like others before it is manageable by adopting well tried and tested hygiene methods. When the HIV, SARS 1, swine fl u, bird fl u, MERS viruses and CJD (mad cow disease) unleashed themselves on the human populations all over the world people used to worry about drinking and eating food together in restaurants and sharing utensils yet with prudent use of simple yet effective hygiene practices people and businesses were able to resume their lives in relative safety.
The corona virus pandemic is just another reminder for us that strict health and safety measures matter to the survival of the human race.”
Dr Petros Mapanda and the Team at The Lawns Dental Practice
