If you've ever wonderedwhat your dentist sees when examining your teeth , a new device called the intra - oral camera can be used. An intra - oral camera is essentially a small television camera fitted onto a pen-sized wand. By placing the device inside your mouth , your dentists can exploreand record images 40 times larger than the actual size. The camera is connected to a video monitor that stores and displays the digital photos as a visual record. Dentists use this device to help diagnose a patient's and health status. We've also discovered that the patients understand their oral health status better after viewing their mouth close - up! This technology has been introduced to our patients at Asavanant Dental Clinic since January 2000.
