Spring Cleaning in Dentrix

Over the next couple of posts I’m going to give a few ways to help organize things in Dentrix that has been useful in my practice.

The first one is to create a “Cosmetic” Category in the Procedure Code Category area in the Dentrix Office Manager.  If you do Whitening, Enamel Recontouring, White strips, etc.

Go to the Office manager/maintenance/practice setup/practice definitions/definition type/procedure code categories.  Then click on new and add “Cosmetic” or maybe “Dental Products” for saleable items.

Then go back to all the procedure codes you have set up in the past that fall into these categories and re-categorize them for easy finding from the chart or ledger when posting.  Make sure you select the “show in chart” button in the procedure code screen.

The new Category will show up in the patient Chart in the procedure code area, for easy access!
