Pediatric clinic here...our doctor would prefer to not see graphics of crowns, pulpotomies etc... once she has extracted the tooth. Any ideas? If it's a primary tooth, once we chart that the permanent tooth is in, the graphic of previous treatment goes away, but in the meantime it is confusing visually. If it's a permanent tooth, even marking it as "missing" doesn't make the graphic of the previous treatment disappear, only the tooth number goes away.

Go to lists > Procedure Codes and change the paint type to none for any code you don't want to show up on the chart. See below.

Kevin's solution works if you never want to see a graphic representation of a particular procedure. If you have an "occasional" problem of a graphic showing up on your chart where it is not wanted, you can double click on that particular procedure and there will be a small box that says "HideGraphics" and you can check that box and get rid of the graphic that is confusing your charting.

Good point. I missed the original detail of "once she has extracted the tooth." I was thinking she didn't want to see the graphics at all.
