LOCAL DENTAL PRACTICE EXCELS. Visiting the dentist is an improved experience for patients at Blossomfield Dental Care in Solihull - as it is the only practice in the area to achieve the high standards required to join the Denplan Excel Accreditation Programme.

The Denplan Excel Accreditation Programme is the first to be approved by the Patients Association and was developed as a result of studies showing that patients who enjoy a good relationship and effective communication with their dentists are less anxious about examinations and treatment. The programme helps dentists to develop better relationships with their patients through good communication and improving people's experience of going to the dentist.

Accredited dentist, Mr Marek Skalka comments: "This is a great achievement for the practice as we constantly strive to make private dentistry accessible for patients wishing to receive the best care available. I think it's vital for dentists to work to improve all aspects of the relationship with their patients and the team here have undertaken extensive training to ensure we offer effective communication and information to our patients."

Accredited dentist, Mr John Newland went on to say: "We are especially enthusiastic about the Oral Health Score, which is offered as part of the Denplan Excel Accreditation programme. This service ensures that we can give our patients a unique and personal evaluation of their dental health. It's a sure-fire way for patients to know and understand their overall oral health status and to keep a check to see whether it is improving, deteriorating or stable."
