dental mirror

Oral cavity inspector

A dental mirror is a small, angled mirror on a handle used by dentists to see areas of the mouth that aren't directly visible.

The mirror also reflects light into dark cavities and retracts the tongue or cheek during examination.

Outside dentistry, similar mirrors help inspect hard-to-reach spaces in machinery or tight corners.
