Why dental practices need safer remote access to Open Dental

Open Dental powers day-to-day operations—appointments, patient info, billing, imaging, eServices (Patient Portal, Web Scheduling, texting, etc.). As teams work from multiple locations (home, satellite offices), remote access becomes essential—but traditional approaches create risk.

VPNs + exposed RDP increase attack surface and maintenance burden. TruGrid eliminates inbound firewall exposure and the need for VPNs.
Console-sharing tools can raise privacy concerns compared to proper RDP user sessions. TruGrid uses RDP sessions with privacy by default.
Performance matters for front-desk and clinical workflows; TruGrid’s global fiber mesh is designed for low-latency sessions.

Built for Open Dental environments

Open Dental runs on Windows with MySQL/MariaDB and offers on-prem, self-hosted cloud, and Open Dental Cloud options. TruGrid complements these models by securing remote access without firewall exposure.

Examples of what staff can do remotely (securely):

Front desk: scheduling, recalls, Web Sched workflows, eForms and messaging.
Admin/billing: claims, payments, reporting, and portal-related tasks.
Clinical: access to Open Dental modules and integrated tools from a secured session.
