SUPPLEMENTARY OUTCOME

APPENDIX G

1. Describe the method of booking recall appointments for existing patients at your workplace:
All recall periods must follow the NICE National Institute for Health and Care Excellence
(evidence-based recommendations for health) in England) guidelines as follows:

Step one - consider the patients age; this sets the range of recall intervals (under 18 then a
recall period ranging from 3-12 months) (18 and over then a recall period ranging from 3-
24 months)

Automatically done.

Bookings For first or last patient

Step two - consider modifying factors e.g. medical conditions, social and dental histories
and findings from clinical examinations

Step three - integrate all diagnostic and prognostic information, considering advice from
other members of the dental team where appropriate, use clinical judgement to recommend
interval to the next oral health review

Step four - discuss the recommended interval with the patient. Record agreed interval or
reason for disagreement.

Step five - at the next oral health review, consider whether the interval was appropriate.
Adjust the interval depending on the patient’s ability to maintain oral health between
reviews

or just after lunch - inform the patient they must eat breakfast or lunch prior to a
local anaesthetic.

 Check medical history for any previous complications - e.g. fainting, excessive
bleeding, diabetes and low blood pressure.

dental assessment:
 How long since last seen a dentist

 Convenient dates and times
 Action in case of failing to attend the appointment
 Potential dental charges
