Content Outline

A very important component of dental health is the dental “check-up” or recall exam. The goal of recalls should be disease prevention. The amount of time between recalls is individualized to meet each patients needs. For some, 9 months is appropriate, while for others, we may want to see you more frequently at 3, 4 or 6 month intervals to address a specific concern. It is an opportunity to have the dentist do an oral examination and interpretation of radiographs if they have been updated to ensure that no problems have arisen since the last examination. This is also important for our young patients to monitor the loss of baby teeth, and the progression of normal development. So, why are nearly half of all patients typically behind (or forgotten) in recall? It comes down to not having the right tools and a comprehensive recall strategy. In this lecture we will cover the importance of recall appointment and tools need to use it appropriately and effectively.
