Intraoral Camera    "In a nutshell, an intraoral camera is a small video camera that takes an  X-ray  of the outside of the gum or tooth. The intraoral camera resembles an oversized pen and although usage varies depending on the model-type, this image-taking device is typically outfitted with a disposable protective sheath for each new patient. While simultaneously viewing a monitor, the dentist inserts the camera into a patient's mouth and gently shifts it about so that images can be taken from a variety of angles.  First used in the early 1990s, the intraoral camera is still a relatively new piece of dental equipment. Not so long ago, only a handful within the dental community used this tiny camera to take pictures of the teeth and gums. Today, use of the intraoral camera is widespread. For those dentists who do use this device, the intraoral camera has been, and continues to be, extremely handy both in diagnosing dental conditions such as  tooth decay  and  cracked teeth

Dental Emergency | LADD Dental Group   "Accidents happen, and knowing what to do when one occurs can mean the difference between saving and losing a tooth. For all dental emergencies , it’s important to visit your dentist as soon as possible. Most dentists reserve time in their daily schedules for emergency patients so be sure to call your dentist and provide as much detail as you can about your condition. If the accident occurs when your dental office is not open, visit your local emergency room. Here are some common dental emergencies and how to deal with them.  Question: What do I do if I knock out my tooth? Answer:  For a knocked-out permanent or adult tooth, keep it moist at all times. If you can, try placing the tooth back in the socket without touching the root. If that’s not possible, place it in between your cheek and gums, in milk, or  use a tooth preservation product that has the ADA Seal of Acceptance.  Then, get to your dentist’s office right away.
