These 12 dentists within a two mile radius of South Shields have all been assessed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) based on five criteria: treating people with respect, providing care, treatment and support that meets patient needs, caring for people safely, staffing, and quality and suitability of management. If surgeries fail to meet appropriate standards on these criteria, they are ordered to make improvements. Those with good standards are not required to take any further action. This is how dentists in South Shields performed. The full reports can be viewed on the CQC website here.
