Materials to help dental teams explain check-up recall intervals to patients and the different dental professionals they could be seen by are available to download from the Campaigns Resource Centre.
NICE guidelines set out how patients should be seen for an oral check-up depending on their risk. This could be up to two years for patients with a low risk of dental disease. NHS guidance on supporting the use of skill mix in NHS general dental practice enables dental practices the chance to utilise the expertise of dental therapists and hygienists and give more patients the opportunity to see a dental professional.
