Dental Check-Up Reminder
NHS dental check-up gaps vary. Some people are asked back in 6 months, others in 12 or 24. This reminder adds the interval you type to your last check. It cannot find an NHS dentist or decide how often you need to be seen.
Your details
Enter the last date from a letter or appointment, then the interval you actually use.

Common questions
What is the dental check-up reminder?
A date adder. It does not assess teeth or gums.
How often should I go?
NICE-style gaps often sit between 3 and 24 months. Your dentist sets yours.
I have toothache.
Contact a dentist or NHS 111. Do not wait for the due date.
