An intraoral camera is a versatile tool which assists us in diagnosing dental problems. It is the size and shape of a pen and covered with a disposable sheath to ensure that no germs are transmitted from patient-to-patient. The slim wand is inserted into the mouth and rotated until clear pictures of every tooth are recorded and shown on a computer monitor. The images are different from traditional x-rays and help us make a more accurate diagnosis of tooth problems.
