Ms. Johns, RDH, BSDH, MS.

"One of my favorite parts of this software is the grading scale. I feel like I can clearly recognize areas where I am doing well and also need improvement. I would highly recommend any dental hygiene programs to consider trying out this software if they want to improve their student's learning experience and education!"


Kaitlyn S., Student

Ms. Johns, RDH, BSDH, MS.

“I love the notes section on the patient profile to communicate the patient's special needs and my plans for the appointment with my instructors and dentists. It also eliminates the paper trail (more eco-friendly) and the chances for cross-contamination, one less thing for everyone to worry about!"

“Switching from a different software to Upscale has been life-changing. I no longer question what my grade is or if I am missing certain requirements to graduate. I can see my grade percentage right after clinic and have feedback on what to work on instantly. As a student, Upscale is very easy to navigate, and would highly recommend this software to anyone.”

Upscale Assessment has benefited my educational and clinical experience in so many aspects. The website is easy to use, well organized, and lets me see my progress in the clinic. Upscale has helped me learn so much as all the feedback given from the instructors is always shown to go back in and reflect on. The organization makes it easy to track grades and progress on patients. I also enjoy the requirement descriptions provided when going to process an instrument or procedure.


Kaitlin D., Student

Upscale Assessment gives me easy access to my requirements needed and what I have completed. I can access my instructors' notes about my appointments so that I am able to reflect on the events that happened during the appointment. Instructors are able to see your calculus worksheets and your BCR, and dentists are able see your radiograph grading and interpretations, this just allows easier accessibility for everyone.


Katelynn S., Student

Upscale Assessment has played a crucial role in shaping my education and clinical experience. These assessments have provided me with valuable feedback on my skills and knowledge, allowing me to identify areas where I excel and areas I need improvement. By challenging me to meet high standards, upscale assessments have pushed me to develop a deeper understanding of dental hygiene practices and principles.

Ever wish you had one magical tool to track downtime, makeup hours, attendance, clinical rotations, shadowing, and professional development… without needing 5 spreadsheets, 3 whiteboards, and a prayer? 🙏 Our Time Tracker isn’t just a feature—it’s a full-blown compliance superhero with a clipboard and a stopwatch. Whether you’re logging time lost (no-shows, clinic cancellations) or time earned (service learning, makeup work, PD hours), the Time Tracker has your back. 🎯 Here’s what it can do: ✅ Track Downtime and Makeup Time ✅ Record Clinical Assistant Rotations ✅ Log Attendance & Shadowing Hours ✅ Manage Professional Development Activities ✅ Collect Notes, Upload Documents, and Route for Approval ✅ Lock entries for compliance (so no “oops I changed it” later) ✅ Alert teachers in real-time (because chasing approvals is soooo last semester) ✅ Plus much more! You can even relate lost time to earned time—because fairness matters, and so does CODA compliance. 💪 🙋‍♀️ Students log the hours, submit them for approval, and boom 💥—instructors get notified instantly. Admins get full visibility. Faculty get peace of mind. And your program gets cleaner audits and fewer headaches. 🔄 This module has helped schools replace multiple systems using Upscale’s all-in-one assessment platform.
