Intraoral Camera
The intraoral camera is a newer technology that dentists are using to get an accurate, immediate look inside the patient’s mouth. The tool, which looks like an oversized pen, has an ultraviolet light at the end as well as a camera that shows up on a near by monitor for the doctor to look at. Many patients even tend to enjoy looking themselves.
These images can help some patients gain acceptance from insurance companies as well as providing a closer view of the mouth to prevent any issues before they occur.
