How often should I perform a Risk Assessment on a specific patient?
You can perform Risk Assessments on a patient as often as you wish. The fee for a new Risk Assessment ($6) includes unlimited Risk Assessments (both Perio and Caries) within a calendar year. You might consider making it an annual part of the patient’s care routine. Also, if the patient has a change in health or some event affects their oral health, their risk score may change, so you may wish to incorporate a new Risk Assessment in connection with any oral health change or major treatment.
