Host: Dr. Brett Beckman, DVM, FAVD, DAVDC, DAAPM
 
Welcome to The Vet Dental Show – the weekly podcast for veterinarians, technicians, and dental teams committed to excellence in veterinary dentistry. In this episode, Dr. Brett Beckman reveals a highly efficient, no-fluff approach to dental charting that helps you save time, improve accuracy, and reduce patient anesthetic time—taken directly from the new Current Concepts in Veterinary Periodontal Disease Management course.
 
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ Time-saving abbreviations for periodontal procedures (RPC, SC, HA, BG, etc.)
✔️ When to chart bleeding pockets—and when not to waste time
✔️ How to use radiographs to pre-mark extractions before even probing
✔️ The value of the PD and GI indices in tracking case progress
✔️ Why it’s inefficient to clean teeth that are scheduled for extraction
✔️ Coordinating with your techs for seamless diagnostics and treatment planning
✔️ How to structure your workflow for reduced stress and improved outcomes
 
Key Takeaways:
✅ Use shorthand and radiographic review to chart smarter, not harder
✅ Focus only on what impacts treatment—skip unnecessary probing and cleaning
✅ Mark extractions using an “X” before physical evaluation
✅ Gingivitis and periodontal grading supports effective reevaluation planning
✅ Technician-led chart prep saves time and boosts accuracy
✅ Efficient charting leads to shorter anesthesia times and better case flow
✅ Charting should serve your diagnostics, not slow them down
