From the child's visit to approved note

Note Dr listens to the appointment as it happens. While you settle the child, examine and talk the options through with the parent, it writes the record in the background, so acclimatisation stays your focus, not the keyboard.

Built for scrutiny

What you said,
who agreed to it

  • Parental responsibility on record

    Who attended, that they hold parental responsibility, and the consent they gave, captured as you treat, not reconstructed later.

  • Behaviour and assent documented

    The acclimatisation, the child's cooperation and assent, so an anxious or refusing child is on record in their own context.

  • Prevention you can prove

    The caries risk, the fluoride varnish and the diet advice you gave the parent, written the moment they happen.

Built around the child

A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, caries risk, prevention, options and consent, where published audits show conventional records routinely fall short.

  • Attention on the patient
  • Time back in your day

Audits referenced: Cole & McMichael (Primary Dental Care, 2009), Hayes et al (Dental Update, 2017) and, on radiograph evaluation under IR(ME)R, a hospital audit (Kiu et al, Clinical Radiology, 2010).

    Patient memory

    What you did last time,
    before the next visit

    Ask what was found last time, what was planned, or what the parent consented to, answered in seconds from the child's own record.

    Walk into the recall already knowing the story, without trawling the notes.

    Ask Note Dr, Amelia Brennan
    What did we plan for Amelia's lower right E last time, and what did her mother consent to?
    NNote Drfrom this patient's record
    At the assessment on 12 May, Amelia's lower right E showed occlusal caries into dentine, ICDAS 5, on a high caries risk. You planned a Hall technique crown and discussed conventional restoration and monitoring as alternatives. Consent was recorded with her mother, with the no-drill technique and transient bite changes explained.

    The child-health
    evidence, to hand

    When a child's presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the relevant published guidance, Delivering Better Oral Health prevention, the evidence on the Hall technique, and the paediatric dental trauma guidance, with the source alongside. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

    Why paediatric dentists trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.

    ★★★★★

    Prevention is always on record

    Dr Orla M

    Prevention used to be where my notes thinned out on a busy children's list. Now the caries risk, the fluoride varnish, the diet advice and every consent point are written while I talk to the parent. I edit and approve in seconds and nothing gets missed.

    ★★★★★

    I leave on time now

    Dr Callum R

    A list full of new children used to mean writing up late into the evening. Now the behaviour notes, the prevention and the plan are documented before the next child sits down.

    ★★★★★

    The child gets my full attention

    Dr Aisha M

    Acclimatisation is everything with an anxious child, and I'm not turned to a keyboard during it any more. The child and the parent get me, and the assessment is still written in full. It has changed how my appointments feel.

    ★★★★★

    Calmest inspection we've had

    Dr Henry L

    Consistent records across every child, with caries risk, options and consent captured every time, and parental responsibility recorded. When the inspector came, the notes already told the whole story.

    ★★★★★

    Consent with the parent, every time

    Dr Saoirse D

    It logs the options I offer and the risks I explain to the parent without me thinking about it, so the consent discussion and who holds parental responsibility are always there in black and white.

    My notes have never been this thorough: the behaviour, the caries risk, the prevention, the options and the consent I took with the parent, all written while I worked. The record now reads exactly the way I would want it read back to me.

    Paediatric dentist FAQs

    Can it tell the parent and the child apart when they are both talking?

    Yes. Note Dr attributes the conversation between you, the parent and the child, so the parent's history as the main historian and the child's own words during acclimatisation each land in the right place in the record. Who holds parental responsibility is recorded alongside, and you review every attribution before you approve the note.

    Is it built for children, or just a general dental scribe?

    Note Dr is built for the paediatric appointment, not a scaled-down adult one. It writes primary-tooth findings in letters, ICDAS caries staging, behaviour and acclimatisation, Hall crowns, molar incisor hypomineralisation and paediatric dental trauma, and the prevention and consent you take with the parent, in the language a children's list actually uses.

    How do I record parental responsibility, consent and Gillick competence for a child?

    Note Dr captures who attended, that they hold parental responsibility, and the consent they gave, as you treat. Where an older child is assessed for Gillick competence, that discussion is documented too, so the basis for consent is always clear in the child's contemporaneous record.

    Can it write Hall technique and stainless steel crown notes?

    Yes. Note Dr drafts the Hall crown record in full: the carious primary molar and ICDAS finding, the no-drill no-anaesthetic technique, the alternatives you offered, the risk of transient bite changes, and the parental consent, structured the way you write restorative notes.

    Does Note Dr work with my dental practice management software?

    Note Dr drafts the note ready to paste or export into whichever system your practice already runs, so there is nothing to integrate and no IT setup on the surgery computer. It works alongside your records for new child assessments, prevention and recall, restorative and trauma notes, and you approve each note before it goes in.

    Does it document fluoride varnish, fissure sealants and Delivering Better Oral Health prevention?

    Yes. The caries risk, the fluoride varnish and concentration, the fissure sealants placed, and the diet and toothbrushing advice you gave the parent are all recorded as you deliver them, mapped to Delivering Better Oral Health, so your prevention is never the gap in the notes.

    How does it capture behaviour management and acclimatisation?

    Note Dr records the acclimatisation you used, tell-show-do, the child's cooperation, the Frankl rating and their assent, in their own words where it helps. An anxious, distressed or refusing child is documented in context, so the behaviour picture builds across visits, not just the treatment.
