Oral hygiene scores
Oral hygiene scores can be assigned to patients both as a means of tracking their oral hygiene, and as a means of providing feedback to patients and their referring doctors.
Scores are assigned with values between 1 and 10, with 1 indicating poor oral hygiene, and 10 indicating excellent oral hygiene.
Oral hygiene feedback may be configured to provide more context to patients on their oral hygiene scores.
