Leamington Road Dental Practice complies with the 1998 Data Protection Act and the Freedom of Information Act 2000, and this Policy describes our procedures for ensuring that personal information about patients is processed fairly and lawfully.
In order to provide you with a high standard of dental care and attention, we need to hold personal information about you. This personal data comprises:
- Personal details such as your name, age, address, telephone numbers, email address and your general medical practitioner;
- Your past and current medical and dental condition;
- Radiographs, clinical photographs and study models;
- Information about the treatment we have provided or propose to provide (and its cost);
- Notes of conversations or incidents that might occur for which a record needs to be kept;
- Records of consent to treatment;
- Any correspondence (relating to you) with other healthcare professionals: such as referrals to specialists, for example.
We need to keep comprehensive and accurate personal data about our patients in order to provide them with safe and appropriate dental care.
We will process personal data that we hold about you in the following way:
We will retain your dental records while you are a practice patient. If you cease to be a patient, we will continue to hold them for at least another eleven years, or in the case of children until they reach the age of 25, whichever is the longer.
Personal data about you is held in the practice’s computer system and/or in a manual filing system. The information is not accessible to the public and only authorised members of staff have access to it. Our computer system has secure audit trails and we back up information on every working day.
In order to provide proper and safe dental care, we may need to disclose personal information about you to:
- Your general medical practitioner;
- The hospital or community dental services;
- Other health professionals caring for you;
- Dental Insurance Companies of which you are a member.
- Private dental schemes of which you are a member.
Disclosure will take place on a “need-to-know” basis. Information will only be given to those individuals/organisations who need to have it in order to provide care to you and for the proper administration of Government (whose personnel are also covered by strict confidentiality rules). The recipient will only be given the information that they need to know for these purposes.
In very limited circumstances or when required by law or by a court order, personal data may have to be disclosed to a third party not connected with your dental care. In all other situations, disclosure that is not covered by this Policy will occur only when we have your specific consent. Where possible you will be informed of these requests for disclosure.
You have the right to access the data that we hold about you and to receive a copy. Access may be obtained by making a request in writing. We will levy a fee of £10 for records that are copied. If a request is made to copy X-rays, an extra charge of £40 will be made. We will provide a copy of the record within 40 days of receipt of the request and fee and an explanation of your record should you require it.
If you move to another dental practice we may (at our discretion) loan original X-rays and provide copy notes direct to that practice free of charge on receipt of a written request from them to do so.
If you do not wish personal data we hold about you to be disclosed or used in the way that is described in this Policy, please discuss the matter with your dentist. You have the right to object, but please remember that this may affect our ability to provide you with dental care.

Dental anxiety deserves patience, not judgement.
Being listened to, having everything properly explained and never feeling rushed can completely change someone’s experience of visiting the dentist.
Thank you to our patient for trusting Dr Sumod Nair and the team, and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It means more than you know.
If fear has kept you away from the dentist, please tell us when you book. We’ll meet you where you are.

The practice got a makeover. Priyesh did not. Or did he? 👀😂
Meet Priyesh, who’s somehow getting his own appreciation post when he isn’t even the dentist. His wife is.
Whether you know him through his aesthetics business here at the practice or have simply been subjected to his jokes, you’ll know he’s a huge part of what makes this place feel like us.
Behind the banter is someone who puts his heart into the practice, keeps things running and always makes time for the people walking through the door.
So we’ll let him off for leaving the dentistry to his wife. He’s got his own talents and certainly isn’t short of personality.
New surroundings. Same familiar faces. Priyesh very much included.
Go on then, show him some love. We’ll try not to let it go to his head 😂👇

The scans are in, and Dracula needs more than a quick polish. 👀
His treatment plan:
🩸 Get his gums healthy
🦷 Replace the missing fang with a dental implant
✨ Straighten the crowded teeth
Because a healthier smile doesn’t have to change your character. It should still feel unmistakably yours.
Now there’s only one thing left to do: reveal the finished smile.
Follow Leamington Road Dental Practice for the final transformation, and send this to someone who needs to see Dracula’s new smile.

Dracula is having a very bad week.
He’s lost a fang. 🧛🏻♂️
Once his gum health is stable, we can explore the right way to replace it. Depending on the individual patient, a dental implant may be one possible option for replacing a missing tooth.
The goal isn’t to change who he is. It’s to restore his smile, protect his oral health and return him to full biting duties.
Should we replace the fang or embrace the new look? Tell us below.
Next week: Dracula receives his complete smile plan.

Only three pieces left 👀
