Step 5: Next Appointment Toolkit booklet (for home)

Patients are given access to the Next Appointment Toolkit to support them after the RETURN conversation.

This toolkit is designed to:

  • Reinforce what was discussed during the session
  • Help patients prepare for their next stabilisation or follow-on appointment
  • Support confidence and follow-through at home

The toolkit includes:

  • Practical ideas for attending the dentist
  • Reminders of strategies discussed during the session
  • Access to videos and information via QR code

You can encourage patients to:

  • Take the toolkit home
  • Revisit it in their own time
  • Use it to prepare for their next appointment

Even if a patient is not ready to act immediately, having the toolkit can support future readiness and reduce reliance on urgent care.
