A method of charting dental information on an electronic device, and such an electronic device, are disclosed. The method comprises generating or retrieving a dental data set including separately-modifiable parameters defining dental information relative to a base parametric model, the parameters providing information for generating signals for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) representation of at least a portion of a dentition represented by the dental data set; receiving an input via the 3D representation; adjusting at least one of the parameters based on the received input; and generating charting text based on at least one charting template associated with a dental activity corresponding to the input received via the 3D representation.
