What is an Intraoral Camera?
An intraoral camera is a small video camera that takes an image of the outside of the gum or tooth. The intraoral camera resembles an oversized pen. While simultaneously viewing a monitor, the dentist inserts the camera into a patient's mouth and gently shifts it about so that images can be taken from a variety of angles.
Benefits of Intraoral Cameras
Intraoral cameras can help your provider quickly and accurately diagnose dental issues such as tooth decay and cracked teeth. The camera also makes it easy for your provider to show you your smile up close and educate you on the state of your oral health.
