Note Dr listens to the appointment as it happens. While you test the tooth and explain the diagnosis, it writes the record in the background, so a worried patient in pain gets you, not the top of your head over a keyboard.
The diagnosis that justified treatment
The special tests, the vitality result and the radiographic or CBCT findings that led you to root canal rather than extraction, captured as you work.
Treat-versus-extract, weighed on record
Root canal treatment set against extraction, with the prognosis and the honest chance of failure, so your reasoning is there to read.
Consent to the real risks
What the patient agreed to, including procedural failure, instrument fracture, perforation and post-operative flare-up, recorded at the time.
A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, diagnosis and special tests, CBCT justification, 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 the referring dentist sent, what you found on testing, and what you consented the patient for, answered in seconds from their own record.
Walk into the treatment session already knowing the story, without trawling the notes.
When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the relevant published guidance and its source, the European Society of Endodontology position statements, the SEDENTEXCT and faculty selection criteria for CBCT, and the outcome literature, so the standard behind your decision is to hand. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

Why endodontists trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.
★★★★★
Special tests, captured every time
It records the percussion, the cold response, the lot, in the patient's own words and mine. The diagnosis and the reasoning behind it are always there, and the transcription holds up even with the handpiece running. I edit and approve in seconds.
★★★★★
My CBCT justification is always there
Every scan I request is logged with the clinical reason at the time. When records are reviewed, the justification reads exactly as it should, and I'm not writing it up from memory at the end of the day.
★★★★★
Patients in pain get my full attention
A patient who has been kept awake for a week doesn't want me typing. Now I can test, explain and reassure, and the assessment note is still written. It has genuinely changed how my appointments feel.
★★★★★
Working lengths and irrigation, on record
The whole treatment is documented as I go: anatomy, working lengths, irrigant, obturation. The record is finished before the rubber dam is off, and it's the most complete it has ever been.
★★★★★
The case to retain the tooth, defended
It logs why I treated rather than extracted, the options I gave and the risks I explained, fracture, perforation, flare-up, without me thinking about it. If anyone asks why the tooth was saved, the answer is there in black and white.
Every recording and record is protected by strong, independently assessed security and encryption.
★★★★★
Every case I save now carries its own evidence: the diagnosis, the special tests, the CBCT justification, the consent to the real risks. When a referrer or a reviewer asks why this tooth was treated, the record answers before I do.

Yes — Note Dr drafts the full root canal record from the appointment itself: anaesthesia, rubber dam isolation, access, canals located, working lengths with reference points, irrigation, obturation and the coronal seal. You review and approve the draft before it enters the patient record, so the note reflects exactly what you did and said, not what you remembered at the end of the list.
A defensible root canal note records the presenting complaint, sensibility test results, the pulpal and periapical diagnosis, radiographic justification, the options and consent discussion, rubber dam isolation, working lengths with their reference points, the irrigation regime, obturation and the coronal seal, plus aftercare and review. Note Dr drafts it; you review and approve.
Note Dr is built for a working endodontic surgery: transcription happens on your device during treatment, through handpiece, ultrasonic and suction noise. What you and your nurse say is drafted into the note as you operate, and because you review and approve every draft, anything the noise obscured takes seconds to correct — nothing reaches the record unchecked.
Yes — Note Dr drafts your reply to the referring dentist from the same appointment record: assessment findings, diagnosis, the treatment completed and the restorative recommendation for the tooth. Build your letter layout once as a custom template and every reply follows it. You review and approve each letter before it returns to the referring practice, so the correspondence stays in your voice.
Note Dr logs the clinical reason a small-field CBCT was justified at the moment you request it, alongside apex-locator and radiographic working lengths, the irrigation protocol and the obturation. The justification and the technical detail are written contemporaneously, not reconstructed at the end of the list.
Yes. Note Dr drafts the recall note against the original diagnosis and treatment, the comparative radiograph, the symptom and function review and the outcome you record, ready for GDC and CQC scrutiny. Every note is reviewed and approved by you before it reaches the patient record.
Yes. Note Dr captures the treat-versus-extract discussion and the specific risks you explain, procedural failure, separated instruments, perforation and post-operative flare-up, with what the patient agreed to. The consent behind your decision to retain the tooth is recorded at the time, in your words.
