Dental Photography Courses UK
Clinical photography courses teach camera and flash setup, the standard set of intra-oral and extra-oral views, retraction and mirrors, and how to use images for records, case planning and patient communication. Consistent photography is the foundation of aesthetic and orthodontic work and useful evidence for records.

Questions
Dental Photography courses, common questions
What camera do I need for dental photography?
A digital SLR or mirrorless camera with a 100 mm macro lens and ring or twin flash is the usual recommendation, but modern smartphones with suitable attachments are increasingly used. Courses generally cover both.
Do I need patient consent for clinical photographs?
Yes. Photographs form part of the clinical record and require consent, with separate explicit consent for any use in marketing or teaching.
Is photography training verifiable CPD?
Under the GDC Enhanced CPD scheme dentists need 100 hours of verifiable CPD in each five-year cycle, with at least 10 hours in any two consecutive years. Check that the provider issues a certificate that states the hours, the learning outcomes and the GDC development outcomes it maps to.
