https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/24160/dental-radiography We take non-digital dental x-rays. I was just wondering if anyone had a top tip/mnemonic for remembering how the dot on the film tells you which side of the mouth you are on once developed? I always have to do myself a little table :/ en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/156854?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 18 Apr 2016 18:36:52 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:59f2ec7f-6ac6-4419-9a6f-d3c00f9854bcGerry Henry<p>We clip&nbsp;the bottom&nbsp;corner off film taken on the left side, we remember it by cLip</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/156782?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 16 Apr 2016 16:36:58 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:dd4b0d69-bbab-4218-a919-3241e7753133Linda Filshie<p>Thanks Rob - I think it makes sense!

If the dot is on the right then it is the right side and vice versa.</p> <p>Alternatively imagine it is a picture of your own teeth, and hold it alongside the corresponding jaw. As the dot always points to the x-ray head you can work out which side is which. </p> <p>I think I may have made it all sound rather more complicated that it really is!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
