  • ADA® TV is an entertainment and marketing system for waiting rooms that empowers your dental practice to customize and stream content that will educate, entertain and promote your services to patients on the TV in your reception area and chairside. Rather than streaming the news, random channels, or repeat sitcoms, with the ADA® TV streaming app, you can:
    • 📚  Educate patients by streaming popular ADA Toothflix 2.0 patient education videos (English and Spanish) and other tutorials
    • ℹ️  Promote your practice with digital marketing signage and information about elective procedures
    • 📽 Customize the system with your own videos and promotions
    • 🎬  Entertain with localized news, weather, sports, and entertainment clips from YouTube
    • ⛹️🌤 📰  Includes real-time newsfeed tickers: These appear as a banner across the bottom of the screen. The information pulled in is headlines based on zip code, with choices from the following categories: sports, finance, weather, and news.

  • New playlists can be added at anytime. To add a new playlist:
    1. Login to MySecurePractice
    2. Select the "ADA TV" icon
    3. Within the Managing ADA TV page, you can:
    • Create a new Custom playlist
    • Edit Custom Playlists (Rearrange, Add Media, Remove Media)
    • View and add PBHS Shared Playlists - PBHS shared playlists can be added or removed from your account at anytime. These are typically shorter, silent dental animations and images that help facilitate patient education and case acceptance during your patient consultation.

  • Consult Mode is the perfect chairside partner, enabling you to focus on facilitating treatment planning and increasing case acceptance. Consult Mode enables you to play ADA TV content chairside via any device that can connect to wifi, such as a laptop or tablet. 

    • In most instances, you will want to have a unique shorter playlist(s) for Consult Mode. You can create as many playlists as you'd like. Your playlists can be specific for each consultation you conduct, i.e. creating playlists for each Dental Implants and Invisalign. 

      Additionally, PBHS has prebuilt consultation silent animations (per procedure), which can be added to an account at anytime. These are called PBHS Shared Playlists.

      Although offices can include YouTube videos in unique shorter playlist for Consult Mode, they may play ads over the YouTube video - which PBHS cannot remove or control in any way.

      Once a customer has created shorter procedure based playlist(s), they can now login and access those playlists through Consult Mode.

    • Although you can use your normal login to access Consult Mode, it is NOT advised if you are leaving this tablet/computer with the patient unattended. We suggest creating a Consult Only User for accessing Consult Mode. 
      To do so, when Creating a New User and choosing their User Role, select "Consult Mode Only."
