Concave mirrors creates a reflection that is typically larger than the actual focal point. Because, the center of the curve is directed away from any incident light .The concave mirror is made with a surface that bends inward. Dentists need to examine the minute parts of teeth. It helps the dentist if he / she gets the magnified and erect image of the teeth.
