Idea Exchange: Before-and-after dental photos

To help clients fully appreciate the benefits of dental prophylaxis, we take before-and-after digital photographs. When a client comes in to pick up a pet, he or she meets with the technician who performed the prophylaxis to discuss the procedure, the results of the blood work, and preventive care. The client receives a photo of the pet's clean teeth and the opportunity to compare it to the before photo. The client leaves really understanding the value of the services provided.
