A picture truly is worth 1000 words\u2013and more and more dentists \u00a0have become adept at showing photos. I think that a good digital camera is perhaps the most important piece of equipment you can own, and something that in this day and age, you just can&#8217;t practice without! Loading these photos into a computer\u2013perhaps even organizing them into a PowerPoint presentation\u2013is a great way to communicate. We have come a long way from showing x-rays (patients have no clue what you are showing them) \u00a0and drawing squiggly \u00a0lines on the bracket table cover.<\/p>\n<p>But this technology seems 19th century compared to showing photos on an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/ipad\/\">I-Pad.<\/a> The vivid LED \u00a0backlit display \u00a0makes viewing photos on the I-Pad extraordinary. I have never seen anything so crisp and clear. You can see and touch the photos in intuitive new ways. And using the multi-touch screen to move and drag and enlarge photos is so high-tech and very impressive to your patient.<\/p>\n<p>In preparation for your treatment presentation, take the photos from a little further away than you might normally do, because with the I-Pad they can be significantly enlarged. Your digital photos are imported into the I-Pad directly from your camera either with a camera connection kit \u00a0or a connector to the SD card. \u00a0Use some type of basic photo editing program to perhaps brighten them and clean them up. \u00a0The I-Pad \u00a0can also be synced to your computer so that the photos are stored in both places.<\/p>\n<p>At your consultation visit with the patient, instead of the two of you looking at a computer screen at images that can&#8217;t be manipulated, the whole experience becomes so much more intimate for the patient when you sit right next to them \u00a0holding the I-Pad and you start moving the photos around. And of course, when you turn the I-Pad, the photos automatically align with the new position of the I-Pad.<\/p>\n<p>I was blown away with the impressiveness of this technology and the cost is pretty minimal\u2013about $450. I predict that once you try this way of presenting treatment, you&#8217;ll be as excited as I am and you&#8217;re never going back to the way that you use to show your photos. I would very much appreciate your thoughts and comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my opinion, one of the major ingredients for successful case presentation is to take the time to schedule second visit consultations with your patients and present treatment choices.
