A Family That Shoots Together, Shoots Tight Groups Together!
I’ve taken my family shooting several times over the years. My wife and son can “take it or leave it.” They’re content with one or two trips to the range per year to confirm their competency. And, they are competent … Continue reading
How to Add a Virtual Black Contraster to Your Intraoral Photos
If you’ve been doing intraoral photography for cosmetic cases, you’re likely familiar with the black contraster. If you’ve only read articles about cosmetic dentistry, you’ve likely seen the photos of a restored arch with a black background to show off … Continue reading

This Is What “Organized Dentistry” Thinks Is Good Marketing!?!?
I’ve long been a critic of so-called “organized dentistry” (American Dental Association) at the national, state, and local levels. And, hoo-boy, do they lob up easy targets for me! This is an ad recently created by my state’s dental association. … Continue reading
