ZERO TO HERO IN DENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY

COURSE SUMMARY
Technology has become an integral part in almost all the industries and dentistry is not left behind. One aspect of technology that has crept into our industry is photography. ‘Dental photography’ has become a common term as more dentists are acquiring this new skill. But why is dental photography important in modern day dentistry?
We are currently experiencing a surge in dental graduates and to top it off, the low absorption rate among government employees has made dentistry becoming more competitive. With dental photography, dentists can improve their clinical skills faster, increase patient’s acceptance, most importantly building their personal brand and set themselves apart from their peers.
