🆕 New - As we're getting closer to the end of the UDA year, we've released a report that allows you to forecast the number of UDAs that are currently in progress. It also warns you if a treatment plan is about to breach the NHS's infamous "2 month rule". Super handy! Head on over to the Dentally reports page to get forecasting.

🆕 New - You can now add your own appointment reasons in addition to the default Dentally ones. A word of warning, you'll still need to use Exam, Scale & Polish and Exam + Scale & Polish when booking those types of appointments for your recalls to work correctly. We are working on improving this so stay tuned for future updates.

🆕 New - Ever wanted to change the background colour of the calendar? We'll we've created something we've called Appointment Sessions that lets you do exactly that. Some practices use it to signify which type of treatment can be booked in during a period. Other practices use it to allocate time for private patients. Other just really like the colour purple. Appointment sessions are highly customisable and can be used to signify pretty much anything you like. Configure yours from the calendar settings.

If this is blank, it's the patient's first time at your practice.
