CDOCS a SPEAR Company

Been digging using transillumination during exams

I have intra oral cameras in my 4 ops.  2 of them have digidoc cameras and at midwinter I splurged on a trans illuminator for one to see if it would help me show patients what a crack can look like or to see decay that may not be easy to see with BW.  This was a case from today that the pt will be doing 2 crowns after seeing the photos.  I tell people all the time to take lots of photos to explain to patients what is going on in their mouth.  It allows them to see it and take responsibility for it.  This is from today.  I love investing in technology that helps us communicate with our patients.  they say a picture is worth 1000 words, but it this case it was the pt realizing she needed 2 crowns to protect those cracked teeth.
