Summary This conversation discusses common oral lesions, specifically dry mouth, candidiasis (fungal infection of the mouth), and canker sores (aphthous ulcers). The prevalence, causes, symptoms, and treatment options for each condition are explored. Dry mouth can be caused by medications and can lead to dental issues and bad breath. Candidiasis is an opportunistic infection that can be triggered by an imbalance in the oral cavity. Canker sores are the most common oral lesion and can be caused by nutritional deficiencies and certain toothpaste ingredients. Treatment options include medications, natural remedies, and lifestyle changes.

Summary
In this conversation, Dr. Serv Wahan and Dr. Peter Pfeiffer discuss the challenges of anesthesia and sedation for redheads and marijuana users in dentistry. Redheads have a different way of experiencing pain and may require more medication for sedation and local anesthesia. Marijuana use can affect anesthesia and sedation, as well as post-operative pain and nausea. However, there is a lack of research due to the federal illegality of marijuana. The conversation highlights the need for individualized protocols and patient education in these cases.
