    Dental

    • Canadian Dental Association (CDA): Recommendations for dental screening, cleaning, and X-rays vary based on several factors such as your dental health and age. The CDA suggests a dental exam approximately every six months. They are not specific about the frequency of X-rays other than to say that if a client has not had any problems, such as cavities for a couple of years, then an X-ray is not required at every appointment. See Canadian Dental Association
    • American Dental Association: Recommendations for X-rays are every two to three years if the client has good oral health and minimal risk of dental problems.

    Vision

    • Canadian Ophthalmological Society: Recommendations are for an eye exam at six months of age and then frequency based on the client’s eye health and risk of eye problems. They note that a client should see an ophthalmologist when they experience vision problems or changes to the eye: Canadian Ophthalmological Society
