Today we can reconstruct teeth with implants made from the same titanium that is used in spacecraft. Lasers and 3-D scanners to create tooth enamel so perfect that the naked eye would never tell it apart from the real thing. Soon we’ll have advances we can’t even dream up.

Dental services were distributed relative to high population density, were unevenly distributed across Malaysia and the majority of people with the highest inaccessibility to a dental service resided in Malaysian Borneo.

Malaysia needs more dental specialists and oral surgeons. We have plenty of general practitioners. Dentistry can be noble and rewarding only if you have the right mindset to treat people. It’s not a profession you should go into for the money.

Today, rotten teeth are so common that we consider them normal. According to the World Health Organization 🗺, tooth decay affects 60-90% of school-age children living in industrialized countries. 🤔 high time to change that!

Dental disease—as we know it today—appeared only after the Industrial Revolution, when processed foods became prevalent in society. Our mouths were healthy for thousands of years, but this changed remarkably once industrialized food system was introduced. - @drstevenlin

Who else wets their toothbrush before brushing their teeth?

[Dentistry.MY 🦷🇲🇾 @DentistryMY]

or, let the dentist remove the tooth nicely, how about that? 🤣

For the budding dentists...

The sad fact is in dentistry, taking time to do things right, reduces your income. It's like every day, a little man sits on our shoulder and tries to bribe us to cut corners.

But that's ok, stay the course, it's worth the mastery.
