Periodontal Consultation Letter Samples

• Communication between perio offices and general dental offices is essential with respect to patient care.  There are many ways, utilizing different strategies to accomplish this.  Software packages are available that can interpret the findings from a perio exam which are entered into the charting software and generate a consult letter with a few clicks. This seems simple and intuitive.  One must take the time to properly record all of the data needed to generate a letter.  In our practice, we used Panda Perio, which was fully capable of handling this task fully and could generate very complete and detailed letters for all aspects of a case in a perio-implant practice.  

  For a long time, I chose to send more of a "bottom line" consultation generated with form-type template letters. Each letter was in Word formatted with our practice logo and could easily be customized.  It was simple.  It was accurate.   It was fast.   For instance, if I wanted to report the patients oral hygiene status,  in the example below, I would delete the two words which did not apply to the patient:
   
  The current level of oral hygiene was:    Good    Fair    Poor
