Account Setup Guide

Welcome to MyDentalPractice! This guide walks you through every step of setting up your account and configuring your clinic for daily operations.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Visit app.mydentalpractice.ng/signup

Enter your full name, email address, and a strong password

Select your plan — Starter, Professional, or Enterprise

Click Create Account to proceed

You will receive a verification email within a few minutes. Click the link in that email to activate your account.

Step 2: Complete Clinic Profile

After logging in for the first time, you will be guided through the clinic setup wizard:

Clinic Name — The name displayed on invoices and patient communications

Clinic Code — A unique short code (e.g., "SMILE-LG") used internally

Address — Your full physical address including city and state

Phone Number — Primary contact number for the clinic

Logo — Upload your clinic logo (recommended size: 200x200px, PNG or JPG)

Step 3: Configure Business Hours

Navigate to Settings → Business Hours to set your weekly schedule:

Toggle each day on or off

Set opening and closing times for each active day

Add lunch breaks or mid-day closures if needed

Click Save Hours to apply

These hours are used by the appointment scheduler to prevent overbooking and to inform patients of your availability.

Step 4: Set Up Treatment Categories

Go to Settings → Treatments to configure the procedures your clinic offers:

Click Add Treatment to create a new entry

Enter the treatment name (e.g., "Root Canal Treatment")

Set the default duration in minutes

Set the default price in Naira

Assign a category (Preventive, Restorative, Cosmetic, Surgical, Orthodontic)

Having treatments configured upfront makes appointment booking and invoicing much faster.

Step 5: Configure Notification Preferences

Under Settings → Notifications, choose how your clinic communicates:

SMS Reminders — Enable automatic appointment reminders via SMS

Email Notifications — Toggle email alerts for new bookings and cancellations

Reminder Timing — Set how far in advance reminders are sent (24 hours, 48 hours, or both)

Step 6: Add Your Team
