Tooth Chart and Clinical Notes for Dentists
The tooth chart records findings and procedures against each tooth, and clinical notes are dated and tied to the treating dentist. A later dentist can read what was seen and what was done.
Findings and work, tooth by tooth
How the chart feeds the plan
A finding on the chart can be turned into a procedure on the treatment plan. The dentist picks the tooth and the procedure, and the estimate follows from the clinic’s fee list. The tooth then shows as planned, in progress or done.
Who writes and who reads
The treating dentist writes. Other dentists, visiting specialists and the owner read the notes. An assistant may enter a note under a dentist’s name only where the clinic permits it, and the entry shows who typed it.
What the chart does not do
The chart does not diagnose and does not suggest a treatment. Every finding and procedure is the treating dentist’s call. Which conditions and abbreviations appear on the pick list is something the clinic chooses.
Frequently asked questions
Which tooth numbering does it use?
The clinic chooses at set-up. Dentists can work in the numbering they trained in, and the choice applies to the whole clinic.
Can a dentist draw on the chart?
Findings are picked from lists and placed on the tooth. Freehand drawing is outside the standard chart, and any change is discussed with the clinic first.
Are old notes kept when a case is edited?
Yes. A new note is added with its own date and name. The earlier note stays as written.
Can a visiting specialist see the chart?
Yes, where the clinic gives that dentist access. The specialist reads the history, adds a note and marks the procedure done.
