Removable Partial Denture (RPD)

30/06/2025

Many parents give their babies a bottle of milk at bedtime to help them fall asleep. While this may seem harmless, it can quietly harm your child’s teeth. When a baby falls asleep with milk in their mouth, the natural sugars in milk stay on the teeth for long periods. During sleep, saliva flow reduces, making it harder for the mouth to wash away these sugars.

This creates a perfect environment for bacteria to grow. The bacteria feed on the sugars and produce acid that attacks the tooth enamel. Over time, this leads to early tooth decay — especially in the upper front teeth — even if your child is very young or still has only baby teeth.

This kind of decay is known as nursing bottle caries. It can cause pain, infection, and even problems with speech or eating later on. That’s why it's important to avoid putting your child to bed with a bottle, and to clean their teeth or gums before sleep, even if they only have a few teeth. Early prevention protects their smile for life.

⚠️‼️Parents! Mahalaga na habang baby pa si baby alam na nila kung gaano kaimportante ang oral hygiene!

Dental caries or tooth decay, which is a result of poor oral hygiene, may sound like a simple problem but it’s actually a serious health concern parents should not overlook.

Poor oral hygiene can lead to tooth decay or early tooth loss which affects the ability to chew food and may lead to poor nutrition. This may also impair speech, which contributes to poor school performance.
☝🏽Dental health issues can also affect a child’s self-confidence and self-esteem. Missing teeth, bad breath, or black stained teeth may make it difficult to develop social relationships.
☝🏽More importantly, poor oral hygiene is also linked to serious health problems like pneumonia and heart disease.

☝🏽Once na may lumabas na ngipin si baby( around 7-10 months) kahit 2 palang yan dapat na ibrush ang ngipin, I used silicone brush at non fluoride toothpaste.

☝🏽Then dapat regular din ang pag visit o check up ni baby sakanyang Dentist, yes! Kung may monthly check up sa pedia niya, sa dentist every 6 months dapat! Para mamonitor ang paglaki ng ngipin, mamaintain ang healthy teeth at masanay si baby, para hindi siya matakot every check up.

☝🏽Kapag 12 months up na at mas marami na ang ngipin pwede na gumamit ng baby toothbrush (soft bristles) then toothpaste na may fluoride na mababa lang (1000ppm). Regular visit sa dentist for cleaning.

So if ganito ang ngipin ni baby based on the picture, need na magconsult sa Dentist. Pwede magcause ng White stain dahil sa milk.
Iwasan dapat na nakababad ang milk si baby kapag tulog, pwede din wag na mag bottle kapag magmilk ilagay na lang sa cup.

👍🏼Tandaan!gawin routine ang pagtotoothbrush ni baby para masanay eto.
Isipin niyo na lang kapag sumasakit ang ngipin ni baby mas kawawa sila lalo kung sira sira na, kaya mabuti na masanay sila magtoothrush at matutunan na nila ang proper personal hygiene.

✅Gawin habit o routine ni baby ang pagtoothbrush
✅ Have a regular visit sa Dentist
✅ turuan din sila magspit out or magmumog every after brush
✅ Wag ibabad ang Bottle Milk lalo sa gabi kapag matutulog
✅ ituro na kay baby ang pagmilk sa cup instead na sa bote

Prevention is always better than cure. Instilling good oral care habits early in your child’s life is the best way to prevent both tooth decay and gum disease.

✅Ano ang Dental Sealant?
Ito ay isang preventive dental treatment kung saan siniseal o sinasarhan ang malalalim na parte o grooves ng ating mga bagang o premolar para hindi ito madaling matambakan ng matatamis at pagkain para hindi ito masira.

✅Tumatagal ba ang dental sealant?
Oo, tumatagal ito ng 4-9 na taon depende sa diet at pag aalaga ng bata. Kung matitigas ang kinakain ng ating anak ay mabilis itong napupudpod. Sa 4-9 na taon na nakasealant ang bagang ng ating anak ay magandang investment na ito kung siya ay hindi nasiraan ng ngipin. Kung ito ay natangal naman ay papalitan lang ulit ito ng bago kesa pag ang bagang ay nasira at pinabunot, pustiso na ang kapalit nito.

✅Effective ba ang dental sealant?
Kaagapay ng good oral hygiene ay epektibo ang dental sealant sa pagpigil ng pagkabunot ng bagang ng ating mga anak na kalimitang nangyayari sa mga bata dito sa probinsiya ng Antique. Malamang isa kang magulang na kulang kulang na ang bagang at nais mo ding hindi matulad sa iyo ang anak mo.

Periapical Cyst

Periapical Cyst or Radicular cyst is the most common odontogenic cyst. The inflammation usually follows after the death of dental pulp—the innermost part of the tooth that contains blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue.
