ABSTRACT:
A dental mirror apparatus for use by a dentist to observe portions of the oral cavity obstructed from direct view comprises a mirror attached to the distal end of a stem. The proximal end of the stem is connected to a clip or ring for engaging the dentist's finger to permit finger manipulation of the mirror in the patient's mouth. The dental apparatus may include a telescoping stem and various joint configurations to permit adjustment of the position of the mirror relative to the dentist's finger or the proximal end of the stem. In one embodiment, a light source is attached thereto to assist in viewing of the oral cavity.
