ORAL HEALTH POLICIES: MODEL DENTAL BENEFITS

Recommended Dental Periodicity Schedule for Pediatric Oral Health Assessment, Preventive Services, and Anticipatory Guidance / Counseling

Since each child is unique, these recommendations are designed for the care of children who have no contributing medical conditions and are developing normally. These recommendations will need to be modified for children with special health care needs or if disease or trauma manifests variations from normal. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry emphasizes the importance of very early professional intervention and the continuity of care based on the individualized needs of the child. Refer to the text in the Recommendations on Periodicity of Examination, Preventive Dental Services, Anticipatory Guidance, and Oral Treatment for Infants, Children, and Adolescents (http://www.aapd.org/policies/) for supporting information and references.

AGE 6 TO 12 MONTHS 12 TO 24 MONTHS 2 TO 6 YEARS 6 TO 12 YEARS 12 YEARS AND OLDER
