1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register at our clinic, make an appointment, or contact us. This includes: • Personal identification: Full name, date of birth, gender, address, phone number, and email address. • Medical and dental history: Previous treatments, medications, allergies, and health conditions relevant to your dental care. • Treatment records: Clinical notes, X-rays, photographs, treatment plans, and correspondence related to your dental care. • Contact information: Details used to schedule appointments, send reminders, and follow up on your care. • Financial information: Billing details required to process payment for services rendered (we do not store full card details).

2. How We Use Your Information

Your personal information is used solely to provide you with high-quality dental care. Specifically, we use your information to: • Provide and manage your dental treatment. • Schedule and confirm appointments and send reminders. • Communicate with you regarding your treatment plan, follow-up care, and any changes to services. • Process payments and issue invoices. • Comply with our legal and regulatory obligations as a healthcare provider. • Improve our services through anonymised, aggregated data analysis.

3. Treatment

Clinical information — including your dental records, X-rays, treatment notes, and prescriptions — is used exclusively for providing your dental care. This information may be accessed by treating dentists, dental nurses, and administrative staff within The Dental Roots as necessary to deliver your care. With your explicit written consent, we may share relevant clinical information with other healthcare providers involved in your treatment (e.g., referring specialists, GPs, or oral surgeons).

We collect billing information necessary to process payment for dental services. This includes invoicing details and, where applicable, insurance information. Payment card data is processed through secure, PCI-DSS compliant payment processors. We do not store full payment card numbers on our systems. Outstanding balances may be referred to a debt collection agency if unpaid after reasonable notice; in such cases, only information necessary to recover the debt will be shared.
