Japan Health Trend: MIHARU Intraoral Camera - SEE The Plaque!
Written by: Michael Keferl on October 4, 2006 at 11:11 pm | In 01 Technology & Gadget Trends |From RF System Lab, the Japanese company that invented the swallowable (is that a word?) endoscopic capsule, the MIHARU instant intraoral camera is the best way to actually SEE what’s going on in your mouth. Most of all, it’s simple. You just plug it into a video jack on any TV or monitor, slide on a disposable cover, and explore.
There are two modes to this remarkable device, regular and and Plaque Detector mode. Regular mode is simply an LED light that lets you see every nook and cranny of your mouth, but the Plaque Detector Mode uses a special LED light that actually shows and highlights the plaque on your teeth, making it easier to target those areas.
Oral care isn’t the only function for the camera either, as it will work on nearly any part of the body. Whether inspecting your scalp, ears, skin, or any other hard-to-see place, the MIHARU is the easiest and most sanitary way to do it on your own. If you can reach it, you can see it. Instead of just warning kids to “Wash behind your ears!”, you can show them why they should…and in detail!
While the MIHARU doesn’t clean your teeth (it can’t do everything!), its most important function is education. Most of us don’t realize the weak points of our brushing routines until they require a trip to the dentist. Even more so, it’s hard to get kids to understand the importance of good oral care. Using the MIHARU shows you exactly where you need to target more, and teaches you a lot about an area where most of us know very little.
