Intraoral Cameras at Grove DentalYou may often wonder what the actual status of your dental health is. A dentist can verbalize a patient's current condition, but even with the best lighting and mirrors, it's virtually impossible for patients to get an up close view of their teeth and gums.

Instead of merely explaining to you the condition of your mouth, Grove doctors can actually show you. At Grove Dental, we use intraoral cameras -- small, hand-held video cameras that capture images of a patient's mouth while simultaneously transmitting those images onto a live monitor for the patient to view. By gently inserting the camera into a patient's mouth, the dentist can take sharp, clear images for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning while providing the patient with detailed visuals for personalized care.

Not only is the intraoral camera a valuable tool for diagnosing various dental conditions in their early stages, it's also an extremely helpful tool for educating patients. With an intraoral camera, patient education is simplified by helping the patient see what our doctors see. Whether you have a fractured tooth or swollen gums, a dentist can easily show you in real-time the current condition of your mouth and then explain visually the diagnosis and suggested treatment.
