hygiene prescriptions

Is there a tab within dentally where you can document the hygiene prescription from a dentist that enables you at a glance to see when the prescription expires?

Lab Work Log features

Hi all,I wondered what everyone's process for recording Lab Work is and if anyone has a good way of using the new Lab Work Log. I don’t see it being very helpful with just the “Sent, Received, Overdue” feature as it doesn’t give any details.Ideally we would have things like which Lab was used, date due back and description of the lab work. We currently use a custom waiting list for this but want it all in one place.Any suggestions from users or updates from Dentally regarding improvements on this feature would be great.Thanks!

Feedback: Direct Messages feature requires a total rework

I'd like to provide feedback on your DIrect Messages feature. The windows to see the list of contacts is too small, and there is no appropriate signs as to which conversation has been read or not. Perhaps this features requires some reworking, as it is specially frustrating on large practices with dozens of staff texting. In fact, you cannot even read their full names if too long. Please fix this as this is a huge quality of lifeimprovement for a very good platform.

More additions root portion of root charting

Addition of other items for the root status should be added, such as Apical abscess/infection (PA lesion), and root fracture (VRF). Variations on location of cracks that are more distinct and unique, including options for location i.e. buccal crack lingual crack mesial or distal. Following that thought process having UI that indicates fractures of restorations or parts of teeth. A specific icon/UI change for unsatisfactory restorations or restorations with secondary caries. Even variations to RCT such as overfill or underfill or unsatisfactory. Preferably all three.  I believe these items will help ensure a comprehensive picture of a patients current dental status.

Feature Suggestion: Floating Image Viewer for Simultaneous Note-Taking

HelloJust wondering if is there currently a way to view patient images (e.g. XRays on dentally) and type clinical notes at the same time in Dentally?At the moment, I find myself switching back and forth between the notes section and the image viewer on dentally to cross-reference findings and confirm what I’m writing. It is a bit cumbersome, especially during XRay/OPT interpretation or when reviewing multiple images.Would it be possible to introduce a floating or resizable image window that stays visible while typing notes? I think this would be a really helpful feature for many of us in practice. Keen to hear if others have found a workaround or if this is something already on the roadmap.Thanks.

Dropdown fields in Notes

Will it be possible to add a dropdown field in the patients notes? For example, we want to include the reason code when a patient has a scan taken and want to make this simple to do (and difficult to omit). There is a list of standard responses we want the clinicians to use rather than free text/personal choice. In other forms packages you can set these up as a dropdown selection, I wonder if Dentally will go this way.

How to remove a 'watch' on a tooth that has been charted as a completed treatment

Hi, Is it possible to remove a watch from charting if it was put on as a treatment and completed rather than put on as a base chart item. I’ve just tried to remove a watch by clicking on TP in the history search, but the item is locked.

Appointment Log

Hi, Is there any way to see a log of changes that have been made to a specific appointment, eg if the appointment has been moved last minute (but not cancelled) or if the time of the appointment has been lengthened. On SOE there was a function where all the changes to a specific appointment were logged. It is very helpful when there is a patient who is a constantly cancelling or changing appointments last minute as it provides evidence.Many thanksMarian, Bupa Windsor

Retained root restorations in chart

Hi The charting function has changed recently for retained roots. Restorations previously charted have disappeared from the chart and it is not possible to chart a new filling.The only way I have found to chart a restoration is to remove the retained root status.Can this be fixed, please?

Template notes for estimates?

Would it be possible to have the “template notes” button in the text boxes when creating an estimate?  (body, footer, payment terms) this would allow addition of treatment specific consent information text to be added to estimates with a few shortcut keystrokes.  Would massively streamline getting relevant consent from a signed estimate.

Mouth Maps

Hi,I’m sure that I can’t be the only dentist frustrated with Dentally’s reticence to provide an extra and intraoral Mouth Map… how else can we record oral pathology each time we see our patients? I’ve  been regularly asking for this facility since moving from SOE to Dentally in 2020, but to date, no progress! Perhaps the community could help push Dentally’s software development team to facilitate this extremely important function; it seems crazy to have to revert to separate paper-based records!

Preview when bulk editing

So when I’m bulk editing patients to cancel days and such, I get a preview of the message being sent when its via SMS or Email but not when its by letter. Am I doing something wrong or can this feature be added? The system is cancelling the wrong appointments sometimes 😱

Suggestion for History search in Dentally

I have a suggestion for the search function under the history tab in a patient’s file/treatment:Is it possible for the word or tooth number being searched for to become highlighted As if the notes for an appointment are quite long it can be more bothersome to try and find what I’m searching for.
