patient education 
Communications between dentist and patient have never been more important. We recognise that increasingly our patients wish to find out more about preventative oral health care and talk about treatment options. We are happy to spend time with you discussing the simple, yet important, things we often take for granted, like proper brushing and flossing techniques. There might be other occasions when our new intra-oral camera and overhead screen will help us to show you potential problem areas. We also have informative mouth models and lots of leaflets to explain the various dental procedures and treatment options. hygienist 
We have a great team of dental hygienists to look after you. Whether it's an essential clean or you simply enjoy that fresh breath experience, our ladies will be pleased to help. emergency dental treatment 
Patients suffering from acute dental pain will always be offered an appointment the same day for an assessment. In order to carry out any subsequent treatment as soon as possible, we operate a ‘cancellation book’ system. This means that patients in the book are contacted should another patient cancel their appointment. It is our policy to offer patients in pain priority. emergency out-of-hours cover
From Monday to Friday, Mrs Hall provides her own out-of-hours emergency advice service for private patients on 07970 772512. At weekends private patients will be directed to the North Oxfordshire Private Dental Group Emergency Rota on 020 8133 1310. Details of these and other (eg. holiday) emergency arrangements are left on our answerphone every evening and at weekends. Child NHS patients should call the NHS Emergency Dental Service on 0845 345 8995. This service is provided by the local Primary Care Trust which is responsible for commissioning dental services in this area. Further information about local NHS dental services can be obtained from: Oxfordshire PCT, Indigo House, Banbury Business Park, Adderbury, Banbury OX17 3NS, 01295 814100.

We provide the full range of NHS treatment (except orthodontics and sedation) to children who were registered with the Practice as at 31/03/06. Where capacity permits (and at our own discretion), we will accept new child patients onto the NHS. If you or your child would like to make an appointment please telephone the Practice and we will be pleased to arrange a convenient time for you. Mrs Olga Hall (BDS, Liverpool) is the provider of NHS dental services at the Practice whilst the contract holder is Halldent Ltd (a company jointly owned and administered by Olga and Andrew Hall). new private care patients
We are pleased to welcome new patients to the Practice under private care arrangements. There is no joining fee and you are invited to pay for your treatments on a 'pay-as-you-go' basis. We do have a ‘New Patient Information Leaflet’ which outlines the benefits of private dental care. You can select this (and other leaflets) from the downloads’ section of the website.
