Dental Chart – Frequently Asked Questions

What is a chart in dentistry?

A dental chart is a graphical diagram of a person’s teeth. Dentists use dental charts to diagnose and record clinical findings of the patient’s oral health. You can use an online form builder such as 123FormBuilder to create a dental charting form where you can include a chart and collect data about the patient’s dentistry.

Why do we use dental charts?

Dental charts are an efficient visual tool that helps dental professionals describe (in written form) the patient’s mouth condition: gums condition, healthy teeth, caries, tooth restoration, implants, space between teeth, etc. They can easily spot what teeth have the biggest issues and create a treatment plan that prioritizes working on the most pressing ones. Hygienists and dentists can easily track their work and share the results with the patients.

How do you read a dental chart?

How you read a dental chart depends on the notation system you’re using in your dental practice. For example, in the case of the standard or universal tooth numbering system, you’ll have teeth numbers from 1-32. You start reading the chart clockwise, from the upper right corner. That means that teeth 1-16 are located in the upper jaw, and the other 17-32 in the lower one.
