Getting started

How do we start with DentaFlow?

Start a free trial from this website when sign-up is open, or request a demo and we set up your clinic with you. The clinic owner then finishes a short setup wizard: clinic details, opening hours, procedures and prices, and staff accounts.

What is a clinic code?

Each clinic has its own short code. Staff sign in with the clinic code, their username and their password, so they always land in their own clinic.

What do we need to use it?

A computer, tablet or phone with an up-to-date browser such as Chrome, Edge or Safari, and an internet connection. Nothing needs to be installed.

Can we bring our existing patient list?

There is no automatic import yet. During the pilot we help you enter your patients. Staff can also register patients as they come in; each takes under a minute.

Patients and clinical records

Who can see patients' medical records?

Only signed-in staff, and only what their role allows. The owner decides this in Settings → Roles & permissions.

Can a signed clinical note be changed?

Only by staff who are allowed to sign notes, and every change is recorded in the audit log with who made it and when.

Which tooth numbering does the chart use?

FDI numbering by default, for adults and children. Universal numbering can be chosen in Settings → Dental chart.

Can we print prescriptions and invoices in Khmer?

Yes. Printouts support Khmer and English, and prescription instructions can be written in both.

Billing and payments

Can we take both dollars and riel?

Yes. Set your exchange rate in Settings → Price list. Cash can be taken in USD, KHR or both, and the change is worked out for you.

Can patients pay with ABA or KHQR through DentaFlow?

You record ABA, KHQR and bank transfer payments with their reference numbers. Taking the payment directly through DentaFlow needs an account with a payment provider and isn't switched on yet.

Can a patient pay in parts?

Yes. Invoices accept part payments, and the balance shows on the patient's file and in Money owed until it is paid.

Security and your data

Is our data kept apart from other clinics?

Yes. On hosted DentaFlow each clinic has its own separate database. DentaFlow staff don't open your patient records.

Is our data backed up?

Backups run automatically every day. The clinic owner can also download all the clinic's data at any time in Settings → Backup & restore.

Can we use two-step sign-in?

Yes. Turn it on in Settings → Security, for everyone or only for admins. Staff use an authenticator app on their phone.

What happens if we stop paying?

The account is paused, but nothing is deleted. The owner can still sign in to pay, or to download all the clinic's data.

Subscription and the pilot

How do we pay for DentaFlow?

By bank transfer. Upload the transfer slip in Settings → Subscription and we confirm the payment.

Can we change plans later?

Yes. An upgrade starts at once and you pay only the difference for the rest of the period. A downgrade starts at your next renewal.

What is the pilot program?

Three clinics use DentaFlow free for the pilot period, with set-up help and training, in return for weekly feedback. See the pilot page for details.

Devices and language

Does DentaFlow work on a tablet or phone?

Yes, in the browser. The dental chart has a touch layout for the chair, and the busiest screens have a phone view.

Can each person choose their language?

Yes. Each person chooses English or Khmer in their own Preferences; the clinic sets the default.

Are Telegram reminders included?

The Telegram bot works for clinics that run DentaFlow on their own server. On the hosted service it isn't switched on yet.
