Odontia - Troubleshooting and Quick-Fix guide.

For Dental Media integrations on Odontia clinic servers.

This guide aims to help you fix the most common issues that might occur on the integra6on setup running on Odontia clinics.

Please refer to this before reporting to Dental Medias technical support, as these issues can often be solved with a few clicks.


Note that some of these solutions differ depending on whether the clinic is on a shared server or if it is on a server by itself.

If you are unsure what kind of installation it is, please refer to our shared clinic/server integration sheet.

Issue: Data is not being updated in Dental Media:

Restart the Dental Media service on the server. Restarting the service is done in 3 easy steps:

  1. Open the DM software using the shortcut on your server desktop.

  2. Click the update button and wait 5-10 seconds

  3. Click the restart button and wait 5-10 seconds

    and then close the software.

if the software freezes and becomes non respondent during this, be aware that we have registered the last click and you can safely force shut the program, restart it and continue to the next step in the process.

Once you have restarted the software, please write support@dentalmedia.io so we can check up on it and make sure data is coming in as expected.
