Using the Dentrix Send Message feature, you can easily send email messages from the Dentrix module you are using.
To send an email message
1. From any Dentrix module except the Office Manager, select a patient.
2. From the module's toolbar, click the Send Message button.
Your email program opens (which may take a few seconds), and a message appears. If you added an email address for the patient in the Family File, the patient's email address is added automatically in the To line. If you have not added the patient's email address to the Family File, you must enter the address manually.
3. Write the text of your message and click Send.
Note: For the Send Message function to work properly, you must have email capability on your computer. To send email, you must have an electronic mail program that supports MAPI function calls, such as Microsoft Outlook or other electronic mail programs. You also need a modem, internet access, a phone connection, and properly configured hardware devices and programs. The Dentrix Support staff has extensive experience in supporting the Dentrix software; however, they are not authorized to answer questions or solve problems related to any of the components listed above. If you are having problems sending messages, please contact your hardware support resource for assistance.
