This varies from patient to patient. After your assessment, your dentist will recommend how often you should be seen, based on your individual oral health needs and NHS guidance.

If treatment is needed, your dentist will talk you through the options and agree a personalised treatment plan with you, including an explanation of any NHS charges that may apply, before any further treatment goes ahead.
