Intra-Oral Cameras

Intra-oral cameras have revolutionized the entire patient-education process as a patient can now sit comfortably in a chair and get a clear picture of his tooth condition and make an informed decision before the condition gets worse. An intra-oral camera is a small pen sized tool attached to a computer or television monitor and comes with a disposable plastic sheath for contamination prevention. An intra-oral camera helps a dentist to take a video of the inside of the mouth of a patient. The video is then transmitted via a cable to a TV screen and can be viewed by both the patient and the dentist. The advantages of an intra oral camera are:

  • An intra oral camera reveals the early stages of any serious problem like cavity and gum diseases.
  • The patient gets a clear view of the oral condition of his mouth and this helps him make an informed decision.
  • It also gives a realistic picture of a patient's regular dental hygiene; this enables Dr. Wokuluk to suggest steps to improve it.
  • A patient can benefit by getting acquainted with a problem in its early stage.
