Recommendation 4

Mandate practices to adhere to NICE recall guidelines and prevent automatic patient removal
Conclusion
Practices should abide by NICE recall guidelines of up to two years for most adult patients, recognising the need for more regular recall for some, but people should not automatically be removed from dentists’ registers of NHS patients without good reason. This should be monitored by NHS England to ensure it is being carried out. (Paragraph 19) The Dental Contract
