Hi everyone, thanks for dropping by this forum. For start, im a certified dentist currently serving at the Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia. Im a little bored here and i cant find much related to teeth in LYN, so i decided to open up this tread to discuss a little bit of teeth and dentistry 
PURPOSE
1) Increase awareness of oral hygiene
2) Debunking some myth about dentistry related stuff
3) Serve as a platform for dentist to gather and give opinion
4) For those who wish to take up dentistry as their career, this is a great place to ask , to know what you are expected to do once you graduate!
' Dentistry is the art and science of preventing, diagnosing and treating diseases, injuries and malformations of the teeth, jaws and mouth'
Above is the definition of dentistry, it is a unique career that require you to master both art and science. What you study theoritically may not make you a good dentist, and you cant do practically without a theory behind, hence the word ART AND SCIENCE. It is very true when you think that a distinction student may not be the best dentist, and vice versa the bad student will not necessary be the worst dentist. You have to put the theory into practice and perfecting it, so i prefer to call ourself PRACTITIONER , because we are and we will be practicing and perfecting our skill and knowledge everyday. Oww...not mentioning the SKILL OF COMMUNICATION, which is a very very very important skill that every good dentist must have!!
*Disclaimer*
World of dentistry is ever changing, there is alot of argument, different school of thought on dentistry. What i write/express is my own opinion, it may differ from one practitioner to another

A few years ago I had my wisdom teeth removed...I realised after that my teeth spaced out a bit and there's a gap between two of my molars...as a result, food always gets stuck between my teeth (didn't happen last time), and I get sensitive gums nowadays...ugh. Other than brushing regularly and correctly, is there anything I can do to help with realigning my teeth? PURPOSE
