With your help I was able to work with @kilgoreinternational to modify the diversity they offer in the way of dental educational models. Special shout out to Dr. Karla Sandino Tucker for working with me on this and making it happen.
This change helps to solidify the thinking that pigmented gingiva is normal, HEALTHY GINGIVA IS PIGMENTED AND PINK.
NOW FOR STEP 2, getting these models into our dental schools and offices. Tag your professors and schools below. Or comment PIGMENTED below for more info. 👇🏽

Love how you’re making pigmented gingiva the new pink! Just curious, how do you plan to handle new inquiries from dental schools when you’re busy spreading this important message? Great post!

I actually didn’t know gums could be darker in color! And I think that’s exactly why this is important representation

This is important because some people might genuinely be convinced they have smth wrong with their gums js because their darker than bright pink

This is super important because dentists are taught to recognize diseases by discoloration/skin changes which look different or less obvious on dark skin! If darker skin models are available, dentists can more accurately diagnose and treat patients of all colors :)

Do people like not understand that disease shows up differently on darker gums?
