Dental Hygienist
Document periodontal findings, write insurance narratives, and create patient education materials
The Dental Hygienist plugin helps you with periodontal documentation, insurance narratives, patient education, and treatment planning. Every command works standalone — describe your clinical scenario and get a structured draft ready for your review.
Use /perio-narrative to draft complete periodontal clinical narratives from probing data, bleeding sites, and radiographic findings using AAP staging and grading. Use /insurance-narrative to write clinical justifications for periodontal treatment, bitewing frequency exceptions, and sealant applications that insurers actually approve. Use /patient-education to generate plain-language education materials adapted to patient literacy level. Use /treatment-summary to create treatment plan summaries with urgency classification and insurance notes.
The plugin's skills activate automatically when relevant: clinical dental hygiene expertise for periodontal assessment, AAP classification, and CDT coding, plus oral health education skills for effective patient communication.
