Paperless records, and no missed recalls
Moving off paper notes? Our guide to going paperless with dental records covers the switch. Patient records in DentiPoint keep everything on every patient in one place, so any clinician can pick up where the last one left off. Contact details, medical history, treatment plans and notes from every visit are always to hand, the tooth chart and BPE sit in the same record with our dental charting software, and automatic patient recalls make sure patients come back on schedule rather than quietly lapsing.
What patient records and recalls do
- Hold paperless records, contact details and full medical history for every patient.
- Keep treatment plans and visit notes in one searchable history.
- Trigger automatic recalls at the right interval when each patient is due.
- Give every clinician a shared, consistent record they can pick up.
How records and recalls work
Keep the record up to date
At the end of an appointment, add your notes and update the patient's details in seconds. It keeps a running, accurate record of every visit, so the next appointment starts from a complete picture rather than guesswork, and records stay secure, searchable and ready for a CQC inspection.
Bring patients back on schedule
Set the recall interval for each recall type, or for one patient, and DentiPoint remembers for you, prompting each patient when they are due. Instead of hoping people rebook, recalls fill your future book and keep patients on top of their care.
Fewer missed appointments
Booking confirmations go out by email, and reminders by email or SMS, and WhatsApp where enabled, before every appointment, so fewer patients forget and less chair time is lost to DNAs.
Better for your dental practice
Consistent records mean any clinician can pick up a patient and know exactly where things stand, which is invaluable for practices covering appointments or handing over care. It pairs neatly with online booking and recalls and reminders, so the next visit is due, prompted and booked without anyone chasing it. For what UK guidance expects the notes themselves to contain, see our dental record keeping guidelines.
