Note Dr writes the behaviour, the prevention and the parental consent into one watertight record for every child you see, ready to approve.

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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.

★★★★★
Prevention is always on record
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
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
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
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
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.
Every recording and record is protected by strong, independently assessed security and encryption.
★★★★★
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
