Dental Mirror

Next>>

The mirror is a very useful, frequently forgotten, instrument in veterinary dentistry. It should be used for checking the reverse side of the teeth for lesions and calculus. The 1/5 mirror is double ended. One end magnifies x5.

A mirror also doubles as a useful lip retractor or tongue depressor during use. During ultrasonic scaling it is very useful to have an assistant run air from the 3-way syringe over the glass to keep vision clear.
