I was getting off work and scrolling through Instagram, and one time
my wife came over, looked at my phone screen,
and saw that the magnifier window was filled with nothing but tooth photos,
so she called me a “fool who only knows teeth.”
Chimoba... that is Jaejotchi.
At the end of the year or on my birthday, my wife keeps asking me
if there’s anything I want,
if I want a PS,
if I want a new MacBook,
if I want to go buy clothes,
and she keeps asking me these things, but
I always say I don’t want things like that and I don’t need them...
The truth is, without my wife knowing,
I’m buying all the things I want.


A resin for front tooth treatment that I really wanted
because it was so pretty, like a jewel...
The hard “enamel” layer surrounding the outermost surface of our teeth
has a very beautiful optical property:
it appears slightly bluish in reflected light,
and slightly yellowish in transmitted light.
That’s called the “opal effect.”
There are well-made resin materials
that can reproduce that kind of characteristic,
so I really wanted them.
Chimoba.. Jaejotchi..
This is the kind of thing I want...
Especially like in the photo on the right,
if you want to take a high-resolution photo like that,
you need to use a good camera too.


Lately, for portrait photography,
I bought a Sony full-frame mirrorless camera
that photographers are said to use a lot...
When I take photos, I can tell right away
what went well and what went wrong.
The treatment quality is bound to improve.
Why? Because I show everything to the patients when the treatment is over.
I also buy any good gum contouring surgical tools first.


I bought the recommended book on gum contouring methods,
and I stocked up on Xeomin...
Wow, I really bought everything I wanted.
My wife would be surprised if she saw this, right?
How to get the best treatment results with better tools
is something I think about every day, all the time,
and that’s only natural as a specialist.
Just because I’m off work doesn’t mean I stop being a dentist.
I’m definitely not the only one who is this obsessed with dental treatment.
Most of the directors I know all think about things like
what if we treated the patient like this,
in this case, what is the best way to treat it,
I tried this and it was good,
this one wasn’t that great,
and they really think about it every moment,
teach each other, learn from each other, and it’s all a bit hectic.
I’m always in the position of learning.
Going forward, I’ll keep focusing even more on
front tooth treatment that looks natural, subtle, and beautiful.
You know how, when you see a really good plastic surgery case,
you call plastic surgeons “divine hands,” right?
Like they’re practically the Creator...
I’ll try becoming a dental god too.
Not chicken... 齒 god, let’s go!
