The theme this year has been pretty much COVID(still), Dentistry and cycling. An invitation for a lecture is a good break from a bullet train like year.
In the upcoming lecture, I will be covering on how we can manage dark gum caused by hyperpigmentation. Excessive melanin is the most significant contribution to dark gum. Personally, I have been using dental laser to treat dark gum for several years. In the upcoming lecture, I will be sharing with participants on how dental laser can be a predictable and safe way to remove the excessive pigment in the gum. Also on what to look out for during initial consultation and during the procedure itself.
The other portion of the lecture will be on managment on patchy teeth. Quite often, some patients are concerned about patchy teeth. It normally manifest as white or brown patches that cannot be removed even with professional scaling and polishing. In the lecture, we will be covering what are the conservative ways, without trimming the teeth, to remove the patchiness on the teeth to give patient a more uniform, “healthier” and nicer looking teeth.
Until then, more Vitamin D and Vitamin C!
