There are numerous reasons to add an LCD monitor to your dental operatory. If you have computers in each of your treatment rooms, a dental operatory LCD monitor can allow you to enter information into the patient’s chart during treatment and even schedule follow-up appointments with the patient still in the dental chair. A monitor also can serve as a treatment planning and patient education tool for showing digital dental images or patient education videos. Alternatively, it can serve as a patient entertainment hub. Some of these monitors are even touchscreen capable. However, like everything else in the operatory, it is important to make sure you monitor can be properly cleaned and disinfected.
