HOW TO TAKE A #TOOTHIE
GRAB YOUR PHONE
Camera quality is key. The higher the quality, the more detailed the picture. Don’t forget the flash. Your mouth is dark; a flash will be helpful. The camera on the back of your phone produces much better images than the camera on the screen.
TAKE A #TOOTHIE
A well-lit area is best. Try using your finger, a spoon or a toothbrush to pull your cheek back or to depress your tongue to make your teeth easier to see. You don’t have to put your phone in your mouth for a great picture. Let your camera focus from a further distance, then crop your image to zoom. Grab a friend or family member if you need help.
SEND YOUR #TOOTHIE
Text your #toothie to (501) 302-0000. We will respond within 24 hours with the issues we see and treatment options.
GENERAL TEETH ISSUES
If you have painful teeth, tissue problems or other general mouth issues, take one or two clear pictures of the problem area. Different angles will give us a better look. Use the pictures on the right as a guide.
CONCERNS ABOUT YOUR SMILE
For questions about your overall smile, we’ll need a front-facing picture of your smile and lips. We’ll also need pictures of each side of your smile, focusing on your canines. If possible, try to take a picture of your front teeth with your lips pulled out of the way while biting down normally.
Please answer these three questions:
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
Broken tooth? Lost filling? Swelling?
WHERE IS IT LOCATED?
Upper right, lower right, upper left, lower left?
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?
Sensitivity to hot, cold, sweets or pressure? Is it keeping you awake at night?
