Dentist returns to premises after fire forced move

A dental practice that had to move after a fire has returned to its original site.

The Port Erin Dental Surgery has been operating from a temporary surgery in Castletown since the blaze in July last year.

But its Orange Grove House premises on Orchard Road, Port Erin, have been refurbished and appoints are now going ahead there again.

Manx Care has asked those contacting the surgery for "patience during this busy time as they settle back into their original premises".

Staff at the practice were "doing their very best to ensure a smooth transition", it said.

The healthcare provider had offered patients appointments at a Douglas surgery in the immediate aftermath of the fire, before the temporary practice was set up in Malew Street in Castletown in August.
