I love having a high tech dental office but 2 of the most useful pieces of technology we own are not all that fancy. Our digital cameras and our big flat screen TVs allow diagnosis, education, and communication that we just didn't have so easily in the past.
Historically, if we wanted this level of photography, we had to take photos with slide film, develop them, then use a projector and movie screen to view them. Now, during all of our new patient consultations, we take a complete diagnostic series of photographs using a digital Canon camera, which we then immediately show to the patient on the big flat screen TV.
When teeth are magnified to that extent, problems and solutions naturally present themselves to everyone. I love my laser, my computer diagnostics, and all my other fancy gadgets, but please don't take away my camera and my big TVs! They are indispensable!
