About Your CPD Course
In the dental industry, the learning journey is ongoing as you have the opportunity to build on your skills and develop new techniques in your field.
Dental photography is an important part of the processes that go on at a dental practice, and if you are a qualified dental nurse, you can master these techniques and enhance your skillset.
As part of your career, you are responsible for completing at least 150 hours of mandatory Continuing Professional Development (CPD) every five years. This is to ensure that you maintain your registration with the General Dental Council (GDC).
Our Dental Photography CPD course is verifiable and meets the GDC requirements, but as well as satisfying the CPD criteria, it is also an ideal way to build on your knowledge and progress in your career.
With this nationally recognised qualification, you will be eligible to take most optimal intra-oral and extra-oral digital photographs, as well as prepare and maintain equipment. You will form a deep understanding of consent with regards to clinical photography.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental photography is a method of capturing the condition of a patient’s mouth. The process involves taking extra-oral and intra-oral images, which are outside the mouth and inside the mouth respectively. A dental practice will use modern cameras to take high-quality images that detail the clinical findings.
The main purpose of dental photography is to take images of a patient’s mouth as a record for possible treatment. There are multiple reasons why dental photographs are useful, including: Helping to plan treatment, Recording the condition of a patient’s mouth prior to treatment, Using them as motivational tools for patients during their treatment, Taking multiple images to document the progress of a patient during treatment, Using them to communicate between dentist and patient to showcase changes during the treatment
To take high quality dental pictures, there are many factors to consider, such as: Use a high-quality camera and flash, with retractors and mirrors, Ensure that staff undergo regular training, Implement routine audits to make sure that the picture quality stays consistent, Enlist the help of an assistant for retraction
Generally, dental professionals will use a DSLR camera that is fitted with a macro lens (85-105mm). An external ring is flash mounted in front of the lens to take high quality images.
Extra-oral refers to outside of the patient’s mouth, and when it comes to extra-oral photography, there are four types of photographs, including: Face frontal – The patient’s expression should be neutral, with the image capturing the top of the crown down to the collar bone, Face smiling – The patient should be facing the camera and smiling open-mouthed, which will allow the dental professional to record soft tissue and facial features, Profile Picture – The patient should turn their face to the left and look forward. This image will cover the top of their crown to their collar bone, 45-degree angle profile - The patient will need to turn their head to a 45-degree angle and smile open mouthed so that their teeth are visible
