Summer School Week One: Get Charting-Ready

Welcome to Week One of Dentally Summer School! Whether you’re just starting your first position using Dentally (congrats!) or you’re just looking to refresh your skills, this week is all about charting – especially when it comes to those trickier mixed dentition cases. 

Just like the back-to-school rush, your practice could be about to get busier – and faster, smarter charting can make all the difference. 

Three Tips to Speed Up Your Charting 

Over the past six months, we’ve rolled out powerful new features to make clinical charting more intuitive and efficient than ever. If you haven’t explored these yet, now’s the time.

Condensed Mixed Dentition 

Mixed dentition charting can be one of the most time-consuming scenarios for dentists. Dentally’s condensed charting view helps you get a complete clinical picture faster, with a simplified display tailored for transitional dentition. Less clicking, more clarity. 

💡 Why is now the perfect time to try it? The school holidays often bring a wave of young patients through your doors – from check-ups to ortho referrals – so it’s the perfect time to make sure you’re using the most efficient charting tools to support oral care for kids and teens.

Enhanced Socket Selection

You asked, we listened. Our updated socket selection tools let you pinpoint extraction and eruption status more precisely – perfect for paediatric and ortho-focused workflows. You can even enable root view for a more comprehensive view of the tooth! 

Predictive Dentition Suggestions

Using the patient's age, Dentally now offers smart predictive dentition suggestions for likely dentition states for new patients. It’s like having a little assistant built right in that sets up the base chart of each new patient, so you only see the teeth you would expect to when starting a new patient exam!  

Why It Matters for New Dentists 

Starting out in practice can be overwhelming. With charting taking up so much chairside time, anything that helps you work more confidently and accurately is a win. These updates are designed to support you from day one – making your early days easier and your patients happier.
