Physics question eek! and maybe dentists

[Serena1977]

I've got myself confused!

when we look in a concave part of a spoon (the back bowled bit) our image is upside down so when a dentist looks in the mouth with that concave mirror on a stick, does that mean our teeth are upside down?

Please tell me about concave and convex mirrors!

I think it's the other way round? Convex sticks out and concave sticks in?

Like this:

I use a plane mirror.

Isn’t a dentist’s mirror just flat?

Dental mirrors are flat.

Dead easy to remember OP, the concave side goes inwards, like a cave.

And I always thought a dentist mirror was flat.

Dentists don't tend to stick spoon shaped mirrors into mouths .

And pp is correct. Concave is the but that goes in.

Yeah dental mirrors are flat

Left and right are backwards though hahahaha!

Concave is the one that goes in - like cave or cavity
