AI doesn’t make a diagnosis and doesn’t choose a treatment plan. It helps you write your patient instruction sheets, explain a treatment in plain words, dictate your letters, and keep up with the literature. No X-ray and no patient record goes into an online assistant.
AI helps dentists with tasks such as “Write post-extraction instructions,” “Explain a treatment and its quote in plain words,” and “Show the steps of a treatment in one diagram.” Start with a single task, in Claude: allow 15 minutes the first time, and always review the result before you use it.
For each task: how it goes today, then with the tool. And the time it takes the first time.

What to check
You approve every sentence: the sheet is your responsibility, and an assistant can write a wrong instruction with full confidence. Medications belong on your prescription, not on the sheet.
Write post-extraction instructionsClaude · Word file, in the conversationThe prompt to copy
Help me write an instruction sheet for the patients of my dental practice after [the procedure: an extraction, an implant placement, a root planing]. Here is what I tell them: [your instructions: eating, brushing, smoking, what is normal, what is not]. Write one page anyone can read: short sentences, no jargon, or else explain the word. Sections: the first hours, the following days, what is normal, the signs that should make you call the practice, what to do when the practice is closed. Don’t add any advice or any medication I haven’t mentioned: if you think something is missing, ask me.
