5 Live In ShortAvailable for over a year
Henrick Overgaard-Neilson, Chairman of the dental practice committee of the British Dental Association, said the frequency of patient check-ups depend on ‘an individual assessment of each patient’as it’s ‘a relationship based on trust’. His comments come after Dr Sara Hurley, England’s Chief Dental Officer, said that patients should challenge dentists who insist they return for a check-up every 6 months, at the NHS Expo conference in Manchester.
