This patient came to us for help. She had breast cancer. She also had two titanium dental implants with massive infection around them. Her face was terribly swollen. Her pain was off the charts. No other dentist would help her from fear that all her chemotherapy drugs wouldn’t allow her to heal properly from the surgery. She was on the way to sepsis.

Dr. Emma called on a colleague with outstanding surgical skills to help with a “six-handed” procedure to remove the titanium from this woman’s mouth. Once they were removed and the surgical sites were cleaned, they disinfected them thoroughly with laser and ozone, and administered platelet rich fibrin (PRF) to support good, speedy healing.

The patient had some post-op discomfort, which is to be expected, but was feeling much better overall and is now doing great! Eventually, Dr. Emma will place biocompatible zirconia implants to fill the gaps, but that is a ways off yet.

It’s an honor and a blessing to be able to help people in this way!

This study only looked at the effects of vegan toothpaste on whiteness and enamel hardiness - which they didn’t affect much, but they also didn’t whiten teeth particularly well…
https://www.drbicuspid.com/dental-hygiene/hygiene-tools/article/15746561/will-your-teeth-be-sorry-if-you-use-vegan-toothpaste?

Despite not causing enamel hardness loss or adverse effects on mineral content or morphology, there may not be enough evidence to support using vegan toothpaste.
