What Are Dental Probes and Explorers?
Dental probes and explorers are handheld diagnostic tools used for the tactile evaluation of tooth surfaces, gingival margins, and periodontal spaces. Their designs may differ, but their function is united by a singular goal: to support dental professionals in identifying irregularities.
At Dentify Dental, our range includes single- and double-ended explorers, periodontal probes with marked calibrations, and ergonomic stainless-steel handles.

Common Questions (Non-Clinical)
Are probes and explorers reusable?
Yes. All Dentify probes and explorers are designed for autoclave sterilisation and repeated clinical use.
What’s the difference between a probe and an explorer?
While both are diagnostic tools, explorers are primarily used for detecting tactile changes on surfaces, whereas probes(especially periodontal probes) are marked for measuring periodontal pocket depths.
