A dental mirror is a reusable hand-held instrument used primarily by dentists to enhance visibility inside a patient’s mouth. Its angled mirror surface helps reflect light and magnify areas for better inspection, while the shaft can also gently retract cheeks or lips to improve access during examinations or procedures.
These devices are typically regulated as medical instruments, often subject to manufacturing standards for durability, sterility processes, and safety in reusable settings. They may be supplied as part of a dental practice’s reusable toolkit, requiring proper cleaning and sterilization between uses to prevent cross-contamination.
