What is a Tooth Chart?
A is a drawing or illustration one uses to better identify the individual teeth in one’s mouth. One can expect an image of teeth and each tooth’s corresponding number and name on a tooth chart. Labeling them as such makes it easier for the one inspecting the patient’s teeth to write down information about a particular tooth.
Though tooth charts are helpful to dental or dentistry students, they can also be especially helpful to dentists. It can be useful when one needs to review or when a patient requires a visual aid to understand more about the condition of their teeth.
If you think this resource is helpful in your practice and currently don’t have one, we have good news for you. We prepared a tooth chart with an illustration of teeth and corresponding labels. Aside from that, we also included a dedicated space for any notes you may have for yourself or your patient.
