USian here. I've had hygeinests act like I'm a spy of some sort because I know the system. Apparently it's a secret. 🙄

In Poland we lowkey say upper/lower left/right 1-8 (eight is wisdom, one is the middle)

I find that the U.K is just funnier than others . . . that or we just love making things more complex.

uk mainly types it as UR, UL, LR, LL. Upper Right, Upper Left, Lower Right, Lower Left

Wloxya :
Denmark in my experience it's 1+,2+,3+ and so on for upper left (starting from 1 at the front tooth) +1,+2,+3 and so on for upper right 1-,2-,3- and so on for lower left -1,-2,-3 and so on for lower right so your two front teeth in the upper jaw is usually written as 1+1

How does the US system handle double wisdom teeth or any other extras... Can you have a 16.5? ISO and UK, that just becomes (quadrant) 9

Rowdy Roo :
numbering should mimic the order humans typically get their teeth. dentists should at least know this so it shouldn't be a problem remembering

AH :
As a medic in the UK I used to use the bracket when notes were handwritten, now I’d use shorthand. UR8 is your upper right 8, LL8 is lower left 8. For baby teeth we use letters, so URA for your baby upper right incisor

Fish Mom 🇵🇸 :
Universal (the system USA uses) is actually infuriating. I know I’m biased as a Canadian hygiene student, but FDI is easier to imagine. I did have to learn All of the methods, just in case 😔

Garfir🇬🇱🇩🇰 :
in Denmark they have(had?) a different system, you set a +between the front teeth in the upper jaw and a - between the front teethin the lower jaw, and then count out from there and label it accordingly. so the back left upper molar would be 8+ and the right upper molar would be +8.

klassicizmov& :
In Russia, teeth are labeled in pairs based on how far from the front of the month they are. Wisdom is 8. The jaw and side is just plain words, so you could say "7 upper left", meaning 1 away from the upper left wisdom tooth

I dont have wisdom teeth but have an extra incisor. I would be the bane of all these systems either way
