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!🦷

Dental Crown • Basis 🦷
Aesthetic Dentistry has always been all of the hype (I'm a fan as well, who isn't?😆). But in the end of the day, functionality & health is still the basis of Dentistry.
In cases where tooth structure loss is extensive, an inlay, onlay or a full-crown is a good go-to. I'd always go for a full-coverage crown in root-treated tooth with tooth loss as such for a better longevity of the tooth & a good coronal seal...what say you? 😊
CAD-CAM crown was fabricated for this root-treated 34.
Following caries removal, core buildup with composite and crown preparation, an intraoral scan is taken followed by the CAD-CAM crown fabrication.
(I always try to keep my crown margin supragingival in posteriors if possible and try to rest the margin on tooth structure. In this case I did DME on the distolingual side since the tooth structure loss is quite subgingival.)
Crown shown in the picture is fresh off the milling machine, prior polishing and staining. I usually carry out polishing and staining after checking the occlusion intraorally, to prevent my beautifully polished and stained crown being grind off due to high bite...dentists get it.😂
💡Tips: I've attached a short video on how to make sure you're sandblasting the fitting surface of your crown properly, Instagram exclusive!😂
Happy Sunday and hope you guys are not bored by the amount of teeth on my feed!🦷
