How to Run Production Numbers in Dentrix Using the Day Sheet Report

If you want a quick and accurate way to track production in Dentrix, the Day Sheet Report is one of the easiest tools to use.

Whether you’re a hygienist wanting to track your daily production or a dentist reviewing numbers for the practice, this report gives you a clear breakdown of procedures completed and total production for any time period you choose.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly how to run the Day Sheet Report in Dentrix and how to customize it so you can quickly check your production numbers whenever you need them.

Why the Day Sheet Report is Useful

The Day Sheet Report allows you to see:

Every procedure completed during a specific time period
Production totals by provider
Production totals for the entire practice
A breakdown of procedures performed

One of the biggest reasons I recommend this report—especially for hygienists—is that it gives you a very clear view of your personal production numbers.

This can be helpful if you want to:

Track your productivity
Understand your value to the practice
Monitor trends in your schedule
Review your daily or monthly numbers

Step 1: Open the Day Sheet Report in Dentrix

To run the report:

Open Office Manager in Dentrix.
Locate the Day Sheet Report icon (it looks like a small report with a sun behind it).
Click the icon to open the report settings window.

This is where you’ll set the parameters for the report you want to generate.

Step 2: Select the Provider

One of the most useful features of the Day Sheet Report is the ability to filter production by provider.

Inside the report settings, you can choose:

All providers (to see the entire practice)
Doctors only
All hygienists
A single hygienist or doctor

For example, if you are a hygienist wanting to track your own numbers, simply select your provider ID.

This will generate a report showing only your production.

Step 3: Choose the Date Range

Dentrix allows you to run the report for any time frame you want.

You can run production numbers for:

A single day
A specific week
A month
A full year
Any custom date range

Simply adjust the From and To date fields in the report settings.

For example:

Running the report daily helps track daily production
Running it monthly helps evaluate longer-term trends

Step 4: Save Your Default Settings (Helpful for Hygienists)

If you plan to run this report regularly, you can save your preferred settings.

Before clicking OK, select Save as Default.

For example, if you’re a hygienist and always want to run the report with:

Your provider number selected
Your preferred display options

Dentrix will remember those settings the next time you open the Day Sheet Report.

This saves time and makes it easier to check your production quickly.

Step 5: Generate the Report

Once your parameters are set:

Click OK
Dentrix will generate the Day Sheet report.

The report will appear in the Office Manager batch list.

From here you can:

Double-click the report to open it
Print it if needed
Review the production details on screen

Step 6: Find Your Total Production

Inside the report, you’ll see:

A list of all procedures performed
The production value associated with each procedure
A total production number at the bottom of the report

This total shows your production for the selected date range.

If you’re tracking your numbers daily, this is a quick way to see exactly what you produced that day.

Why Hygienists Should Track Their Production

Many hygienists never look at their production numbers, but it can actually be very helpful.

Knowing your production helps you:

Understand the financial side of dentistry
Recognize your impact on the practice
Advocate for raises or bonuses
Identify opportunities to improve patient care

Personally, I run this report almost every day to keep an eye on my production numbers.
