Part IV. ANALYSIS. Given the situation analyze the use of mirrors in the scenes.

When you go to a dentist for anything from a regular cleaning to a root canal, chances are they’ll use a small,
hand-held concave mirror to help with the examination portion of the appointment. Sometimes, patients will ask us
why we use concave mirrors instead of some other kind of mirror. As with most things in dentistry, it comes down to
being able to see the teeth better.

48. What type of Mirror is commonly used by a dentist?
