AI for dental clinical notes, written up inside the practice.

Dental notes are written between patients, in shorthand, and they have to stand up years later: what was found, what was discussed, what consent was given, what was done and with what materials. An Ermos unit writes the shorthand up into a complete note in your format, on hardware inside the practice, and the dentist checks it before it is saved to the record.

How it works on the unit

1
Capture the shorthand

The dentist or assistant records the appointment in the usual shorthand, or dictates it.

2
Write it up in your format

The unit expands it into a full note: findings, discussion, consent, anaesthetic, procedure, materials and post-operative advice.

3
Flag what is missing

If the note has no record of consent or of the medical history being checked, the draft says so before it is saved.

4
The dentist checks and signs

The treating dentist corrects the note and saves it to the record through your practice software.

Why it helps

Section 8.3 of the Dental Board's Code of conduct asks for accurate, up-to-date health records held securely. Complete notes written at the time are what a complaint, an insurer or a colleague will rely on later.

Why on-premise matters here

A clinical note records medical history, medications, anxieties and what the patient said in the chair. On the unit it is written up inside the practice. Pasted into a cloud tool, it becomes a copy the practice no longer controls.

Common questions

Can AI write dental notes?
It can write up the dentist's shorthand into a full note in your format. The dentist checks, corrects and signs it; the record remains the dentist's.
Will it work with our practice software?
Notes are saved through your existing practice software. How the unit fits your workflow is worked out in scoping.
Are the notes used to train anything?
Only your own unit learns from your documents, on your hardware. Nothing is sent to an AI provider.
