How often should a child see the dentist?

How often your child needs a check up depends on your child's own risk of tooth decay. NICE guideline CG19, 2004, from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, advises a gap of between 3 and 12 months between check ups for children under 18.

The dentist sets this gap at each check up, based on the health of your child's teeth and their risk of decay. Hygiene visits are usually booked at the same time as the check up. The dentist checks any sealants at each visit and tops them up if they have worn. The dentist applies fluoride varnish at every check up, and it is included in the fee.

3 to 12

months between check ups for under 18s, set from your child’s own risk.
