Recall

Refer to Section 12 of the full guidance.

• Assign a recall interval that is based on caries risk and specific to the oral health needs of the child.

At each recall visit:

• Carry out a focused oral health review, including:

• • asking again about toothbrushing practice and dietary habits
  • asking about compliance with any agreed action plans
  • checking the condition of fissure sealants
  • monitoring any lesions managed with prevention alone
  • reassessing the child’s caries control and caries risk

• Provide Standard Prevention to all children and additionally Enhanced Prevention if the child is assessed as at increased risk of developing caries.

• If caries is not being effectively controlled, consider alternative management options and the need for additional community/home support.

• Create a new personal care plan as required and maintain comprehensive records.
