Review: Throat Scope Light-Up Tongue Depressors
What Are Throat Scopes?
Throat Scopes are illuminated tongue depressors that have single-use blades that you can use for your oral mech exams and work with clients. Free up an extra hand for oral exams. As the light source is located inside the mouth, Throat Scope allows for a clear view of the throat, teeth, tongue, palate and gums. Kiddos love it too, think of it as a Light Saber or magic wand.
