Customer Announcements

01/15/2025 - Warning: we specifically advise customers not to use NexHealth products that claim to integrate with Open Dental, and this includes other third-parties that pay NexHealth to be able to pump data into Open Dental. If you do use NexHealth, you are likely bypassing Open Dental security, and the data that they may hack into the Open Dental database can cause unhandled exceptions. We are making this announcement as this has happened and will likely continue happening, and Open Dental may not be able to fix your issues as we do not have a record of the methods NexHealth may be employing to insert data into Open Dental. Our recommendation is to utilize our eServices Bundle or consider these third-parties that are less dangerous.

11/20/2024 - We have sent an updated notice to all DoseSpot users of a required update to version 24.1.88, 24.2.51, or 24.3.18 or greater. See the full notice here. 

11/19/2024 - We have published a list of known third-party vendors that have developed an integration for use in Open Dental. Some integrations are authorized while others may be potentially dangerous. See Third-Party Vendors for more information.
