Bakit 🤸 hindi 🤸 nagsusuot 🤸 ng 🤸 retainer 🤸 ang 🤸 beshy 🤸 ko? 😅

Did you know that almost 25% of patients have to get braces again because they failed to wear their retainers as directed by their Orthodontists?

We see many patients that have invested years into wearing braces but then ‘forget’ to continue wearing their retainers.

On this 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗥 𝗗𝗔𝗬, we want to emphasize the importance of consistently wearing your retainer after orthodontic treatment to reduce the risk of teeth relapsing and to ensure your smile remains properly aligned, healthy, and beautiful. ✨

If you experience pain and discomfort while wearing a retainer, consult your orthodontist and ask for a reliable clear retainer option that combines style, durability, and comfort from Scheu Dental.

MICROCHIP FOR PET PROTECTION

The Iloilo City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (CDRRMC), through the committee on disaster preparedness led by the City Planning and Development Office (CPDO), held a KABALAKA Webinar on the topic "Animal Disaster and Preparedness and Rescue".

The Pet Identification and Unified Data Storage Microchip System and Mobile Application for Disaster Preparedness were introduced and are set to be implemented to establish a permanent and tamper-proof electronic digital documentation via microchip implant on pets such as dogs and cats.

Through the project, the City Government aims to promote responsible pet ownership, reduce the number of stray animals, and make the metropolis a safer place for both humans and pets.

The microchip is the size of a grain of rice and an electronic chip enclosed in a glass cylinder to be implanted in dogs and cats two months and up, rabies-vaccinated, not pregnant, and in good health.

Preparing pets and ensuring their safety and survival when disaster strikes are not only for the pets’ sake but also vital to the pet owners’ well-being.

Epekto ng BREASTFEEDING sa Ngipin ng Inyong Chikiting

Ayon sa pag-aaral, ang mga batang napa-breastfeed ay napag-alamang may malalakas na ngipin, may matitibay na enamel at ligtas sa tooth decay. Sa pagsasaliksik, ang Breast Milk ay mahahalintulad sa tubig kaya napapatibay nito ang mga ngipin ng mga chikiting.

Ang Breast Milk ay mabisang panlaban din sa mga bacteria na sanhi ng tooth decay.

At ang isa pang magandang dulot ng breastfeeding ay ang MAS MAAYOS na "bite" ng mga bata. Sa patuloy na pagbe-breastfeed sa unang anim na buwan, napag-alaman sa isang pag-aaral na ang mga batang ito ay hindi nagkaroon ng "bite issues" tulad ng open bites, overbites and cross-bites sa kanilang pagtanda.

Kaya naman mga Momshies, magpa-breastfeed, para ngiting tagumpay ang iyong kid!

Start the new year right! Mag palit din ng toothbrush, bes. 😅

Dental professionals recommend changing your toothbrush every 3 months. Here are some reasons why it's important:

❎ Toothbrushes wear down, and bristles break off, making them less effective at removing plaque over time.
❎ Germs from colds and other illnesses can linger on a toothbrush, increasing the risks of reinfection.
❎Bacteria build up on your toothbrush.
❎Frayed bristles may become sharp and cut your gums, leaving your entire mouth vulnerable to infections.

Change your brush now because proper oral health begins with attention to detail in your daily oral routine!

💥 [Overbrushing Teeth]
I have been practising dentistry for 16 years in Singapore CBD (Tanjong Pagar).
One of the most common cause of teeth sensitivity nowadays is overbrushing and wearing away of healthy teeth. This can lead to severe teeth sensitivity and gum recession.

How can you prevent this from happening at your home?
1. Avoid sawing action when brushing teeth. Use the modified bass technique to brush.
2. Always use a toothbrush with soft bristles
3. Do not press down hard when you brush your teeth. Go easy with your hand pressure.
4. The yellow colour that you see near the gums is the natural colour of root and tooth. Do not mistaken that as decay and end up brushing harder and causing further tooth wear.

If your teeth is already worn down, you can do the following....
1. See your dentist for a filling to replace the worn off tooth surface.
2. If the wear or sensitivity is minimum, you can use toothpaste for sensitive teeth and monitor the area. Simply apply the toothpaste to the sensitive area. Leave it there for 5-10mins. After that then do your normal brushing. Do it for a few days till sensitivity decreased.

Hope this sharing helps.
