Chapter 27A: A Note on Using This Guide Over Time

This guide is meant to be revisited, not read only once. Consider returning to the relevant Part whenever your child reaches a new stage — Part Two around age six or seven, Part Three if an interceptive recommendation comes up, and Part Four once comprehensive treatment is on the table. Keeping a copy accessible (digitally or printed) alongside your child's dental records folder is a simple way to make sure it's there when you need it.
