Mouth mirrors are in the dental armamentarium with a range of uses from reflecting light to retraction of tissues. Areas of the mouth that are difficult to light need a mouth mirror to reflect light onto the surfaces. Mirrors help prevent injury during tongue and cheek retraction
- A concave mirror gives the dentist a magnified reflection of the mouth while also refracting a bit of light. This means the image in the mirror is larger, brighter, and, for the dentist, easier to see. Another plus of using a concave mirror is that the image in the mirror isn’t inverted
