If you have a digital camera capable of intra-oral, macro photography that you would like to practice with, please bring it with you. Please make sure that it is in good working condition (charged batteries, memory cards, etc.). We will have some camera equipment available for those who do not have one to bring. If you have any questions about your camera’s dental capabilities email Dr. Wang at: icwang@uw.edu.
