Every patient's history, allergies, prescriptions and X-rays live in a single electronic file, which the dentist opens instantly chairside — not searched for in paper folders.
In short: a dental patient comes back for years, and today's clinical decision depends on what happened three visits ago — an allergy to an anaesthetic, an extraction, a root canal on the same tooth. The patient record in 4dental brings it all together: procedure history per tooth, allergies shown prominently before any prescription, e-prescriptions issued directly from the record, and attachments — X-rays, intraoral photos, consent documents. The dentist finds the patient instantly by name or ID and sees the whole history in one screen, not three different drawers.
A useful dental record isn't just "what the patient had" — it's "what happened to EACH tooth" — a filling on 26, an extraction on 38, a root canal on 16. The patient record in 4dental keeps this structured history, correlated with the odontogram, so the dentist sees at a glance how every tooth evolved across visits, not just a chronological list of procedures without context.
An allergy to penicillin or to a local anaesthetic can't be "somewhere in the file" — it has to be the first thing the dentist sees when opening the record, before prescribing or using an anaesthetic. 4dental shows allergies and warnings prominently at the top of the record, and when issuing an e-prescription the system already has them in view, reducing the risk of a prescribing error.
A panoramic X-ray or an intraoral photo has no value in isolation — it needs to be tied to the visit and to the tooth it refers to. Attachments in 4dental link directly to the visit and, optionally, to the tooth on the odontogram, so the dentist can compare "the X-ray from two years ago" to today's without hunting through separate folders.
Dental medical data is special-category data under GDPR. The front desk manages appointments without seeing the full clinical history; the dentist sees their own patients' records and prescribes; the practice admin configures access. Every access to a record is logged for traceability, and the data is stored encrypted.
Yes. Procedure history is structured per tooth (using standard dental numbering) and correlated with the odontogram, not just a generic chronological list of visits.
At the top of the record, shown prominently, visible before any prescription or procedure — including when issuing an e-prescription, so the dentist has them in view.
Yes. Attachments link to the visit and, optionally, to the tooth on the odontogram, so the visual history is easy to compare from one visit to the next.
Directly from the patient record. The prescription stays linked to the visit and to the tooth (where relevant), with treatment history and allergies in view before issuing.
Only staff with the right access, by role: the dentist sees their own patients' records, the front desk sees booking data without the full clinical history, and every access is logged.
Yes. Records, prescriptions and attachments are stored encrypted, with role-based access, in line with GDPR requirements for medical data (a special category of personal data).
We help you migrate your practice's existing history (paper files, X-rays) into the electronic record, safely and without losing data.
4dental brings the electronic dental patient record, treatment history, e-prescriptions and attached X-rays into a single flow, linked directly to the odontogram.
We are transparent — here is where 4dental is not (yet) the best fit:
A fit for dental practices wanting a complete dental file, with history and attachments in one place. For large hospitals needing a complete hospital information system (HIS), we assess separately.
