Watching a Tooth
EXACT charting has the ability to watch a tooth, any teeth that are being 'watched' are stored in the Watch tab alongside Service List, Quick Plans, Images tabs.
The Watch tab provides a condensed treatment history of certain types of treatments (for example X-Rays) as Watch Types.
Once configured, all x-rays taken for a particular patient can be listed in the Watch tab, in date order. Saving time when checking when a patient last had x-rays taken. Watch Types require initial set up in the Service File.
