Intaoral photo showing a gap between teeth. Gaps like these often cause food to trap which usually leads to discomfort, tooth movement and decay.
We very often use intraoral cameras at Pocono Pines Dental. An intraoral camera is an amazing diagnostic tool for viewing details of your teeth so we devise a treatment plan, together! The small, wand-like camera gives us the ability to capture pictures inside your mouth and then view the pictures on a computer monitor right in the dental operatory. We can get a closer look at any potential issues or problems. In addition, you will have the ability to see for yourself, first hand the same images we are seeing. We can point out areas where more brushing attention is needed, where there are stains, chips, fractures, cavities, heavily restored teeth, tissue lesions etc. These digital images are also excellent for gaining procedure reimbursement from insurance companies. We can also get a much better view of hard to see areas and monitor teeth we have previously restored.
