CG19 provides evidence-based guidance on how frequently patients should be recalled for oral health reviews.

It replaces fixed recall intervals with a risk-based approach.

This guidance:

• Promotes personalised recall intervals based on patient risk.

• Supports preventive and patient-focused care.

• Reduces both over- and under-treatment in dentistry.

• Helps ensure efficient use of NHS dental resources.

For: General dental practitioners, dental care professionals, commissioners.
