Voice perio
charting
Speak or tap pockets, BOP, recession, mobility, and furcation. Direct structured upload is live on Open Dental and Dentrix Ascend.
What you can capture
CareNotes voice perio charting is built for the findings you already say out loud at the chair. You can speak them or tap them. The supported fields are probing depths (pockets), bleeding on probing, recession, mobility, and furcation. This is documentation of what you record during the visit — not a clinical protocol and not a substitute for your exam.
Pockets
Probing depths as you call them.
BOP
Bleeding on probing, spoken or tapped.
Recession
Recession measurements as discussed.
Mobility
Mobility findings you name at the chair.
Furcation
Furcation involvement as you record it.
How a charting visit works
Tap record on iPhone or start from Apple Watch before you walk in. Talk normally while you probe. Call pocket depths, BOP, recession, mobility, and furcation as you always would — or tap the same fields. After the visit, a chart-ready note is waiting to review and sign. If you forgot to hit record, you can talk to CareNotes afterward like a scribe. Edits can be spoken, not typed.
Start recording
One tap on the phone or Watch. Hands-free from hallway to operatory.
Speak or tap
Pockets, BOP, recession, mobility, furcation — spoken or tapped.
Review the note
The note waits on the phone. Custom templates stay the practice's.
Get it into the chart
Free: copy from carenotes.ai/notes. Premium: upload from the hand. Structured perio upload is live on Open Dental and Dentrix Ascend.
Where the perio chart goes
Direct structured perio upload is live on Open Dental and Dentrix Ascend. Those stacks can receive the structured perio data, not only a paragraph in the progress note. On other practice management systems — including Dentrix, Eaglesoft, AbelDent, SoftDent, PracticeWorks, Curve, and 27+ more — perio still rides inside the note. Direct structured upload for those stacks is in progress. That is not the same as unsupported: the findings still go into the chart with the note, on free via paste or on Premium via upload.

Voice perio is part of the same ambient scribe used for the rest of the visit. You do not switch products to chart pockets and then write the note. Custom templates stay the practice's. Apple Watch can start the recording from the wrist; the phone finishes the note. Free forever includes the AI note, recording, transcription, edit, History, Apple Watch, and custom templates. Premium is only PMS integration and schedule sync — $99.99/month founding lock for the first 1,000 offices, or $719.93/year, per location, unlimited users, no contract, cancel anytime. Built in two Manhattan group dental offices; 117+ procedure-specific agents coordinated by Carey.
Questions
What can I chart by voice?
Voice perio charting covers probing depths (pockets), bleeding on probing (BOP), recession, mobility, and furcation. Findings can be spoken or tapped.
Which systems get direct structured perio upload?
Direct structured perio upload is live on Open Dental and Dentrix Ascend. On other stacks, perio still rides inside the clinical note. Direct upload for those systems is in progress — not unsupported.
Is voice perio included on free?
Yes. Core note-taking is free forever, including recording, transcription, edit, History, Apple Watch, and custom templates. You can copy the finished note — including perio that rides inside it — from carenotes.ai/notes into any PMS. Premium adds PMS integration, schedule sync, and from-the-hand upload.
