    Please... this is a must have, if you have more than one person making appointments for patients.

    Our dentist recently purchased another dental office adjacent to us. Technicians merged the Dentrix databases together from the two offices. We now have many many duplicate patient accounts now. Nightmare of posting to the wrong accounts etc. Please consider implementing this need ASAP. Thank you.

    there is a way to do it - edit family relations - it will now go over to the other file and you can delete the inactive one

    Please make this easier to do!!! Yes, there are too many non-patient accounts we have and once we need to do it, there are too many steps. Please simplify. Thank you!!

    Will I be notified when this request is implemented? As a practice that absorbed other practices in our area we have so many duplicates, even triplicates. This would be a huge help for me.

    This is a HUGE issue, especially for multi-provider practices. Many patients, are hesitant to give SSN these days. Dentrix needs to figure out a way to run validation on other fields like name + birthday to alert of potential duplicate family files. And the fact that there's no way to merge/resolve duplicates in Dentrix G6/7 is very disappointing.

    <New Staff ALWAYS make the mistake off creating duplicate patient charts when they are training and it is such a headache to correct!>

    This is a huge problem in Easy Dental, as well.  Hope this can also be an upcoming ability (to merge duplicate accounts) in Easy Dental, too
