Every dentist should want their patients to not only receive the best dental treatment possible, but for them to understand and care about that treatment too. Turning dentistry into a more human-related industry can have huge long-term benefits in encouraging patients to proactively prioritise their oral health and practice good oral hygiene.

Minimally invasive and preventive dentistry should be at the forefront of this shift in mentality for both clinicians and patient alike. One piece of equipment that can be a game-changer in achieving this is the intraoral camera.


What is an Intraoral Camera?

An intraoral camera is a device used by clinicians to capture high resolution images of inside a patient’s mouth. Its design is slim and resembles that of an oversized pen. The camera emits a light over the patient’s teeth and gums to produce real-time visuals that can be shared with the patient there and then.
