Write a dental referral letter a specialist can act on without ringing you back — the question you are actually asking, the findings and images that support it, and what you have already tried. Use when asked to write a referral to an endodontist, oral surgeon, periodontist or orthodontist, refer a patient to a specialist, or when a referral was returned for more information. Produces the referral letter, the attachment list, the urgency marker, and the patient-facing explanation. Communication support only; the clinical assessment and the decision to refer are the referring clinician's.

# Dental Referral Letter

A referral that says 'please assess and treat as you see fit' wastes a specialist's appointment and the patient's day. The specialist needs one thing above all: the question you want answered. This writes the letter around that question, attaches the evidence that lets them answer it, and tells the patient what is about to happen to them.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The referral letter** — reason, question, findings, and what has already been attempted
- **The specific question** — the single sentence that distinguishes a useful referral from a handoff
- **The attachment list** — radiographs, photographs, charting, labelled and dated
- **The urgency marker** — routine, soon, or urgent, with the finding that justifies it
- **What you have already done** — treatment attempted, medications given, and the response
- **The patient-facing explanation** — what the referral is for, what will likely happen, and what it does not mean
