A photo says more than words
Has your dentist ever handed you a mirror mid-treatment to try and provide you with a vantage of the work being performed? It’s hardly ideal viewing. Thankfully, with the advent of intraoral cameras, both patients and dentists now have a better option for closer inspections of teeth and gums. If it has been awhile since your last dental checkup, Dr. Richardson at Gaslight Dental offers dental exams in Medicine Hat employing some of the latest technologies in the field.
An intraoral camera is basically a wand with a tiny digital camera that allows us to capture images of those difficult to reach areas of the mouth. This device can be used as both a diagnostic and educational tool.
Stop by for a consultation with Dr. Richardson today. Our clinic uses DEXIS CariVu™ tech (low-dose digital X-rays) to detect potential concerns.
