January - The month of lecture

It was an intense month in January with 3 lecture engagement. Kick starting the month was giving a lecture on teeth whitening and management of stain on teeth for College of General Dental Practitioners’ GP Series. It was a great opportunity to share with fellow dentists on my protocol on teeth whitening and how we can manage some of the more difficult cases. The other aspect that is interesting in the lecture would be sharing with them how using newer techniques, some of the brown or white stain on the teeth can be eliminated to give patients more uniform white teeth.

Then it was to Cambodia on the invite from Cambodia Dental Association to share on my pet topic, digital planning with laser dentistry to manage gummy smile. On top of that, I used the chance to share some of the smile makeover cases where patient’s smile is enhanced with porcelain veneers.

2 days later, it was back in Singapore to the Aesthetics Dentistry Society of Singapore’s Annual Forum where I was sharing with fellow colleagues on digital planning with laser dentistry to manage gummy smile.

The reason for repeating the lecture in the short span of 3 days in 2 countries is because both theme are on digital transition in aesthetics dentistry. It is latest trend in dentistry and glad to have the opportunity to share how with digital planning the outcome can be better forecasted and with laser dentistry the healing is more comfortable for patients.

WCLI Asia Pacific Laser Symposium 2018

11th WCLI Asia Pacific Laser Symposium just concluded in Singapore last weekend. I was given an opportunity to share how I have been combining digital dentistry to assist in the planning for my laser gum contouring cases. This has allowed patients and dentists to have a simulation of how the outcome of the laser gum contouring will be. Using dental laser for gum contouring has made recovery much faster compared to traditional methods. I also shared how I used other treatment options like Botulinum Toxin for management of gummy smile.

As one of the 2 local speakers, I hope I had made a good impression to the overseas delegates who were here as well. Back to preparing more lectures in October 2018 and Janurary 2019.
