Virtual Appointment

Step 1:   Take Photos​​​​

What you will need:

  • ​Clean Hands

  • Two Spoons (or clean fingers)

  • Smart Phone, iPad or tablet

  • Photographer (i.e. Friend or Family Member)

These photos can be tricky...​

​

It might provide some laughter and entertainment along the way :)​

 

​First Photo - ​

​

   1. Use the clean spoons (or clean fingers) to stretch the lips and cheeks away from the teeth so that Dr. Solomon will be able to see as many of         the teeth as possible.  ​​

   2. Then bite down on back teeth while the photographer takes a picture of the front teeth like the sample below.  Get in nice and close :)

teeth with gums pulled so that the teeth are completely visible. The front profile of the teeth is completely visible.

Second and Third photos –

​

  1. Have both spoons in (one on either side),

  2. Stretch the right side as far as back as possible, bite down on the back teeth while the photographer takes a picture of the teeth on the right side. 

  3. Then repeat this for the left side.
