Happy International Dentist’s Day! 🥳🦷Let’s talk Fluorosis.
Little back story about this case, patient was concerned about the white spots of his teeth and was about to go for fake veneers at a beautician in Malacca. A day before his “appointment”, he went on YouTube to do some research and found a video of mine explaining about the dangers of fake veneers. He immediately cancelled the appointment and....this is the story of how we met! (Till this day I still find it amazing that I get to connect with new people through this way!😆🤩)
Now, let’s get real.
In this case (which does NOT require veneer), icon resin infiltration has been done for this patient 2 weeks after his in-office dental whitening. Composite fillings were done for the cavitated lesions and caries after the resin infiltration as well. Conservative Dentistry is always my go-to when it comes to treatment plans.🤗
Now, how does the white spots appear?
Fluorosis are also commonly known as “white spots” on teeth. It can also appear as brown spots or mixed-coloured spots on your teeth. It is typically generalised (found on not only one but a good few tooth), and is caused by excessive fluoride ingestion at young age. (Don’t swallow your toothpaste when you’re a kid guys.) Common treatments include:
- Dental Whitening
- Microabrasion
- Resin infiltration
- Fillings/ Veneers/ other forms of Restorative treatments
Hope you guys enjoyed this little sharing. Have a great evening ahead!🦷
