Claude Cowork Plugin

🦷Dental Hygienist

Document periodontal findings, write insurance narratives, and create patient education materials

4
commands
2
skills

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.
