2025/07/19
Hey, friends! Today, let's talk about a seemingly mysterious yet super practical "small gadget" - Intraoral camera It may not be as "famous" as a gastroscope or colonoscope, but in dental clinics, it's the "best partner" for doctors and patients!
1. What is an intraoral camera?
Simply put, it's a combination of a mini-camera + a small probe! The doctor will use a thin, flexible tube (with a high-definition camera at the front) to insert into your mouth, taking clear pictures of the details of your teeth, gums, tongue coating, and even the gaps between your teeth, and displaying them in real-time on the screen. Isn't that cool?
2. What can it do?
Illuminate your "dental blind spots" - such as cavities in the back teeth and calculus under the gums. These areas are difficult to see with the naked eye, but the intraoral camera will immediately reveal them!
Allow patients to "see for themselves" - The doctor points to the screen and says: "Look, there's a small black spot on this tooth!" You no longer need to nod blindly, but understand the problem immediately, making treatment more reassuring!
Record changes in the condition - Photos taken during each examination are archived. When you have a follow-up appointment, a comparison will show whether your teeth have improved or worsened. It's clear at a glance!
3. Why is it so considerate?
Say goodbye to the fear of "Ah~ open your mouth" - The probe is thin and soft, and the operation is gentle. You no longer have to worry about being poked by the instrument and feeling nauseous!
Saves time and effort - The doctor quickly locates the problem. Whether it's filling or cleaning, it will be arranged in a few minutes!
Early detection and early treatment - Cavities can be detected as soon as they appear, avoiding the tragedy of small holes becoming large holes and large holes becoming root canals...
4. Who needs it?
Everyone! Whether you are:
A "dental health expert" who gets regular cleanings
A "braces wearer" who is currently undergoing orthodontic treatment
Or a "procrastinator" who always avoids the dentist
An intraoral camera can make your dental examination more transparent and efficient!
The next time you go to the dental clinic, if you see the doctor holding a small stick with a small lens, don't be nervous~ That's the intraoral camera helping you "live stream your teeth talk show"! Regular checkups + intraoral camera assistance, let's keep our teeth healthy, "visible and tangible"~
