Note Dr listens to the appointment as it happens. While you chart pockets and talk through the diagnosis and options, it writes the record in the background, so the consultation stays a conversation, not a keyboard.
Staging and grading justified
The stage, the grade and the stability your diagnosis rests on, captured with the charting and bone loss behind them, as you describe them.
Risk factors on record
The smoking and diabetes you raised, the prognosis you gave and the warning about their effect on the outcome, recorded in the patient's own context.
Consent at every step
What the patient agreed to at each phase of step-wise care, surgical or otherwise, and the prognosis discussed, recorded contemporaneously.
A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, the staging and grading, the six-point charting, the risk factors, 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 charted last time, what was planned, or what the patient consented to, answered in seconds from their own record.
Walk into the review already knowing the story, without trawling the notes.
When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published periodontal guidance and its source, the BSP and EFP treatment guidelines, the 2017 staging and grading classification and BSP recall advice, so the standards are to hand as you chart. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

★★★★★
Charting and consent, all captured
New assessments are where my notes used to run thin. Now the full charting, the staging and grading, the prognosis per tooth and every consent point are written while I talk to the patient. I edit and approve in seconds and nothing gets missed.
★★★★★
I leave on time now
Charting six points a tooth and then writing it all up used to spill into the evening. Now the assessment is done before the patient is out of the chair, and it is more thorough than what I used to type.
★★★★★
My patients get my full attention
I'm not turned to a keyboard while I probe any more. The patient gets me explaining their diagnosis, and the record is still written in full. It has genuinely changed how my consultations feel.
★★★★★
The maintenance trail is unbroken
These patients come back for years, and the record now reads as one continuous story. Each supportive therapy visit logs stability against the last charting, so I can see the whole disease course at a glance and so could anyone reviewing it.
★★★★★
Risk factors always on record
It logs the smoking and diabetes discussion and the prognosis I gave without me thinking about it, so the consent conversation and the risk factors 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 staging and grading, the six-point charting, the risk factors, options, consent and prognosis, the lot. Across years of recalls the disease course now reads as one clear, audit-ready story.
Dr Imogen KPeriodontist
Yes, Note Dr offers a free plan for periodontists, with no trial limit and no card required. It listens as you carry out a new assessment, root surface debridement or supportive therapy visit and drafts the record — six-point charting, staging and grading, options and consent — for you to review and approve, in British English throughout.
No — Note Dr documents your consultation; it does not diagnose or decide the staging. As you state the periodontal diagnosis — the stage, grade, extent and stability — it records exactly what you say, alongside the six-point charting and bone loss behind it. The clinical judgement stays entirely yours, and you review and approve every note.
Note Dr helps you keep the contemporaneous, complete records GDC standards call for. It drafts the periodontal assessment as it happens — the charting, staging and grading, risk factors, options, prognosis and consent — so little is left to write up later. You review, correct and approve every note, so the record reflects your judgement.
Yes. As you call out probing depths, recession, furcations, mobility and suppuration site by site, Note Dr writes them into the record, with your bleeding and plaque scores. Each subsequent chart sits against the last, so change over time is plain to read.
Yes. As you state the diagnosis, Note Dr records the stage, the grade, the extent and the current stability under the 2017 classification, alongside the charting and bone loss they rest on. You review and approve every assessment, so the diagnosis reads exactly as you intended.
Each supportive therapy visit is documented against the previous charting, so stability, the maintenance carried out and the recall interval are all on record. Over years of recalls the visits link into one continuous disease course you, and any reviewer, can follow.
Yes. Note Dr logs the smoking and diabetes you raise, the prognosis you give, the warning about their effect on the outcome and any onward referral, for cessation support or to the GP over glycaemic control. The risk-factor discussion is captured at every relevant visit.
