Dental AI guide
AI Scribe Consent Checklist
A practical checklist before a dental practice turns on AI-supported scribing.
Every AI scribe touches patient audio, transcripts and clinical notes — often without the practice realising the full data path. Getting consent and vendor controls right before you switch it on protects your patients, your reputation and your Ahpra standing. This checklist walks you through the questions that matter before day one.
No patient data required. Use these guides for practice workflow education, not patient-specific advice.
