When the intraoral camera judges you

Ran our beta intraoral camera on v0.9.3 at 7:12 a.m., and the classifier dutifully flagged “calculus-prone region: operator lingual of #24” — which was just my own espresso stain. We lowered the sensitivity after that, but anyone else getting roasted by their prototypes, or is my QA workflow uniquely humbling?

You’ll find most openings under ‘field clinical educator’ or ‘KOL manager’ — try a quick sweep here: 5,000+ Dental Clinical Education… jobs in United States Expect about 95-120k base + travel or $1-2k/day 1099; a one-page “1200 mW/cm^2 in the real world” micro-course to CE directors gets callbacks faster than a tack-cure — are you open to per-diem to start?

I started doing a 5‑second white balance on a dry 2x2 before shots; it killed most of my “espresso false positives” and keeps the heatmap honest — if lighting shifts a lot, lock exposure first. Does v0.9.3 let you lock it?

We turned ‘spit, don’t rinse’ into the game: they try to hit a sticker target in the sink, then I do a silly mint-breath check — keeps fluoride on overnight; if foam is too much, we go pea-size paste and allow one tiny sip. @j_barker59 do you skip rinsing with your kiddos too?
