Mouth, Tongue

Mouth and tongue instruments are essential tools used in dental and medical procedures that involve the oral cavity and its structures. These instruments help in diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions affecting the mouth and tongue.
Mouth Gag: Used to keep the mouth open during dental or surgical procedures, allowing the dentist or surgeon to work freely in the oral cavity. It is especially helpful in surgeries that require access to the back of the mouth or throat.
Tongue Depressor: A flat, wooden or plastic tool used to hold the tongue down during oral examinations or procedures, providing a clear view of the throat and mouth. It is commonly used during routine exams, throat assessments, or when checking for oral health issues.
Tongue Forceps: A tweezer-like tool used to grasp and manipulate the tongue during surgical or diagnostic procedures, particularly when performing oral surgeries or inserting medical devices.
Mouth Mirror: A small, angled mirror used to visualize hard-to-see areas of the mouth, such as the back of the teeth, gums, or throat, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Scalpel: A surgical tool used to make precise incisions in the mouth or tongue during procedures such as biopsies, gum surgeries, or oral cancer treatments.
These instruments are crucial for ensuring effective examination, treatment, and surgery within the oral cavity, aiding in procedures ranging from basic oral exams to complex surgeries.
