Privacy Notice for Children 

The practice keeps records of your name, address, date of birth and details of any health problems as well as details of your dental treatment and details about your family.

We keep this information so that we can provide you with the best dental care. Your personal information is kept very confidentially and securely. 

We only use your personal information so we can give you the best dental care and for sending reminders to you. 

We only pass your personal information to another dentist, doctor or hospital if you have a problem that requires their special skills and you need to go and see them. We will not give your information to anyone else unless the law allows us to, or we have to provide it for legal reasons. 

If you leave the practice, we will stop using your information, but will keep it confidentially and securely until you are 25 years old (or 26 years old if you were 17 when your last treatment ended), or for 15 years (NHS patient)/11 years (private patient) after the completion of treatment, whichever is longer. 

We will then review if and when we can delete it. You can always ask for a copy of the information we hold for you, we can transfer it to another dentist or doctor at your request and you can ask us to stop using your personal information to send letters or contact you in other ways if you are no longer a patient at the practice. 

When you reach 18 years of age the Privacy Notice about how we process your personal information will change to the adult version. This can be found on our website.

If you would like a copy of the information we hold about you or if you have any other enquiries such as correcting an error in your information or providing a copy of your information to somebody else please contact:
