We've been talking about giving Open Dental a nice visual update but it will take a lot of time and right now we're focused on getting some feature requests pumped out for you guys now that we're done with EHR 2014.

There's just so much to Open Dental it's probably software overload for some users that want to test out 'simple' tasks at first. Makes sense that they'd be overwhelmed with the entirety of Open Dental thrown at them. Our trial is the full blown version of the software with a 30 patient limit. I cannot say whether it's easy or hard to learn to use but just the other day I asked a coworker if they had a juicy 'unhappy' customer story for me in the break room and they said 'Actually no, most of my calls end with 'Oh, it's that easy?'' Is it just me or does this seem like a sales rep from Dentrix managed to get a fake Dental Town account and is trying to spread some negative press? I took offense to this at first but realized Dentrix must really be losing customers to Open Dental to resort to this. In fact, one of the first things that comes out of peoples' mouths when I mention OD is 'I heard it's great, but it looks like safe mode' ' 'When I open up OD, I see grayness everywhere - it's a bit bland' 'Just wondering if the low upfront costs make people look over any shortcomings that OD may have' 'When trying the OD trial version, he found Dentrix to be more intuitive' he thinks that the learning curve for OD may be steep for assistants and other dentists' Here are some of the 'Drphannies' comments OpenDental' the other 'If Dentrix and Open Dental were the SAME PRICE, which PMS would you really choose?' Both topics subtly undermine Open Dental and promote Dentrix. He or She has started two topics in Dental Town. So there is this new member of Dental Town who just joined last month, 'Drphannie'.
