A Dentalabel® is one example of a dental chart. It provides a simple way of recording most of your findings and treatments. However, it is only a chart and needs to be supplemented by clinical notes, radiographs, etc. to form a complete dental record.

Most charts make use of the modified Triadan system <font color ="red">(Floyd, 1991)</font color> where each [[:Category:Teeth - Anatomy & Physiology|tooth]] is allocated a three-digit number. The first number denotes the quadrant of the mouth and whether the tooth is permanent or deciduous. The second and third digits denote the tooth itself. In dogs the teeth are numbered consecutively from the midline whereas in cats, some numbers are skipped as not all teeth are present. Canine teeth are always numbered 04 and molars are always 09.
