Why is proper recordkeeping important for a dental practitioner?
1- Prepares the Dental practitioner with necessary information regarding ongoing treatment of the client. Doing so the dental practitioner improves the time management.
2- Helps the rest of the dental staff with information. (E.g. scheduling or billing purposes).
3- Helps the dental practitioner not to perform procedures that are contraindicated to that particular patient
4- Tx notes are useful for report documentation purposes
5- To be accountable in front of the college for an excellent conduct and competency ( recordkeeping is a legal requirement)
6- For legal purposes ( If issues with the clients arise)

We dont usually keep track of what we do. We have just a file that we keep xrays and important notes thats all. Americans complicate things to much though. Thats why you guys have so many legal issues with the patients..
You guys educate them more then you should
