Intra-oral Camera

See What We See: Intra-Oral Camera Technology for Kids

Ever wish you could see exactly what the dentist sees? With our advanced intra-oral camera at Kind Kids Pediatric Dentistry, you can! This tiny tool offers a big advantage when it comes to understanding your child’s oral health. It helps capture clear, close-up images inside your child’s mouth—so we can detect issues early, plan treatments with precision, and even show you what’s going on in real-time.

It's smart technology with one goal: keeping your child’s smile healthy and happy.

What Is an Intra-Oral Camera?

Think of it as a high-tech flashlight combined with a digital camera—about the size and shape of a pen. This small, handheld device is used to take detailed images of your child’s teeth, gums, tongue, and other areas inside the mouth. Its sleek design means it’s easy to move around, reaching even the trickiest angles comfortably.

Because it’s small and gentle, the intra-oral camera is ideal for kids of all ages—even little ones who may be nervous about dental tools. It’s a completely painless process and often helps curious children feel more involved in their own dental care.

A Powerful Tool for Diagnosis & Treatment

The images captured by the intra-oral camera give us an up-close look at problem areas like:

• Early cavities
• Gum inflammation
• Plaque and tartar build-up
• Cracked or chipped teeth
• Unusual spots or lesions

Best of all, you’re part of the process! The images appear instantly on a chairside monitor, so you and Dr. Lobo can view them together. That means no guessing, no confusion—just a clear understanding of your child’s dental health and what steps, if any, are needed next.

Supporting Orthodontic Care and Monitoring

The intra-oral camera is also an invaluable tool in orthodontic treatment. It allows us to take precise images of your child’s teeth alignment and bite, making it easier to plan braces or clear aligner treatments. Throughout the orthodontic journey, these images help track progress, identify any adjustments needed, and ensure the best possible results for your child’s smile. This detailed visual feedback keeps parents informed and children motivated, turning orthodontic care into a transparent and engaging process.

Safe, Clean, and Kid-Friendly

At Kind Kids Pediatric Dentistry, your child’s health and safety always come first. Each time we use the intra-oral camera, we place a new disposable cover over the device to maintain the highest hygiene standards. Once your child’s images are captured, they can be stored digitally for future reference or printed out for you to take home. And because there’s no radiation or discomfort involved, this is a stress-free diagnostic option we can use during regular exams or as part of a treatment plan.
