Which camera do you use...

That is probably the question I get asked most..
Most of the dental pics that you see are taken with a simple point and shoot camera..
in the old days before digital we had fancy set ups with single lens reflex cameras and ring lites and macro lenses..Wow..things have changed..now I use a simple little camera with a built in flash on the macro setting..and I am very pleased with my results..


For pictures that require me to get deep into the mouth I will use an intra oral camera...it is a small camera placed on the end of a wand which has a lens and two lights to to illuminate the dark workspace.
The intra oral camera has been especially useful in educating my patients as to dental situations in the mouth that they would normally not see!
This is a good example of new technology which I use daily.


and this is what it looks like with the lights turned on...
