Dentrix Enterprise Tips & Tricks

As many of us dig out from a cold mega snow storm in the northeast, our thoughts are with the states impacted. This past week, I had ample time to reflect on what makes our Community Health Centers so successful. When our CHC’s began using Dentrix Enterprise over 10 years ago we were torn between using certain key functionality in fear of duplicating our user’s efforts. However, we quickly realized that certain core functionality is not only required but crucial to running an efficient dental practice. This month’s posts will focus on various Dentrix Enterprise tips and tricks that every Enterprise user should utilize and take advantage of.

Tip #1

Utilize your procedure code buttons

I refer to these as your top 24 "Hot Keys". These hot keys are user defined and can house a specific procedure or a multi-codes. We recommend having a mix of procedures, multi-codes, and conditions. These hot-keys allow for quick, efficient, one-click documentation

Tip #2

Utilize color in the Progress Note panel of the tooth chart

Treatment is color-coded so that with a single glance at the patient's graphic chart, you can tell whether a procedure is a condition, existing, treatment-planned, or completed.

Next month’s blog post we will review various tips and tricks for clinical charting and treatment plan presentation. Additional information can be found on the Dentrix Enterprise website’s on-demand training sessions. (Customer ID & Zip Code of Practice required to access)
