A four-year-old boy visited Professor Bedi at the Harley Street Dental Clinic with early childhood caries.
The parents were upset with the appearance and especially since the child was soon to start primary school
Using a new innovative technique for taking impressions Professor Bedi was able to place anterior porcelain units on the upper four incisors.
There is no place for silver amalgams in modern children's dentistry. More tooth tissue is removed when amalgams are placed and there are better solutions to restoring 'baby teeth'
Professor Bedi is invited around the world to teach on modern techniques in paediatric dentistry and has taught dentists in over 40 countries.
