While panoramic x-rays are one of the most popular and effective ways to inspect your mouth, other innovative technologies offer similar images without radiation. Best Dental Care always keeps up with the latest oral technology, so we use intraoral cameras alongside traditional scans to get a detailed close-up of every nook and cranny of your smile.
How Does an Intraoral Camera Work?
Intraoral cameras look like a pen with a tiny camera on top and have a light that helps produce clear images of dark corners. During a routine examination, we put this camera inside your open mouth and film the front and back of your teeth. After we capture all the necessary photos and videos, we watch the footage and see if there’s something out of place.
What Are Intraoral Cameras For?
Together with digital X-rays, intraoral cameras work like the eyes of an eagle, showing symptoms of current and future dental problems the naked eye can’t see. We can also watch the content these devices produce as often as we need, allowing us to be more precise and better care for your smile. With intraoral cameras, we can detect issues like:
- Plaque build-ups
- Cavities
- Gum disease
- Fractures
Since intraoral camera footage shows on our computer, you can check the state of your teeth and learn if you’re doing well at brushing and flossing at home.
Are Intraoral Cameras Dangerous?
Intraoral cameras aren’t invasive and don’t use radiation or chemical compounds, so your teeth and gums will be safe from danger. However, you can talk to us if you feel scared or anxious before this dental exam.
