What is the purpose of ACORN?
Assessment of Clinical Oral Risks and Need (ACORN) is a toolkit designed by dental professionals during the General Dental Services Reform Programme that supports dental teams to carry out a comprehensive risks and needs assessment in a systematic manner. It summarises findings from the patient history and clinical examination. It supports practices to give personalised advice and agree a preventative annual dental care plan.
