Abstract
Oral health is an integral part of overall health, and poor oral hygiene can lead to a variety of health problems. Modern oral care has greatly improved our quality of life, but the increasing demand for routine dental checkups and treatments calls for improved systems for managing patient records and appointments. While technology has significantly enhanced the efficacy and experience of dental care, many dental clinics still rely on paper records to record the patient’s oral condition, but these are not easily accessible to the patients for viewing. This study aims to address the issue by developing a Dental Clinic Management System to manage patient appointments and records. This system will allow patients to manage their appointments, view their dental history, and receive comments from dentists. Dentists will be able to view appointments, perform treatments, and provide feedback to patients, while the administrator or receptionist will be able to manage appointments, view records, and create invoices. By streamlining dental clinic management, this system aims to improve the overall quality of oral healthcare.
