“Si Mommy mismo ang bumunot ng ngipin ni baby gamit ang sinulid.” Maraming nagtag sakin sa video na ‘yan, kaya pag-usapan natin kung ano ang dapat tandaan:

1. “Ang unang dentista ng mga babies ay ang kanilang parents.” Tama ‘yan! kayo ang magtuturo ng brushing at hygiene routine nila.PERO hindi ibig sabihin kayo rin ang dapat bumunot ng ngipin. Kapag may naiwan na root, puwedeng magka-infection o maapektuhan ang pagtubo ng permanent tooth.

“Baby tooth lang naman, okay lang masira.” Hindi po okay. Alam nyo ba na puwedeng magdulot ng infection ang sirang ngipin ng bata? At oo, delikado rin sa kanila ‘yan. Bukod pa doon, masakit at nakakaapekto sa pagkain at tulog ng bata.

3. “Ayoko dalhin si baby baka matrauma sa dentista.”
Baliktad ‘yan. Habang mas bata pa silang nadadala sa dentist, mas nasasanay sila. Pero kapag dinala lang kapag masakit na, doon sila madalas natotrauma.

4. “Tinoothbrush ko naman, mahilig lang talaga sa sweets.” Sugar isn’t the enemy, BACTERIA ang tunay na kontrabida. Si sugar, pagkain lang ni bacteria. Kaya kapag consistent ang brushing at hygiene, maiiwasan ang cavities.

5. “3x a day magtoothbrush si baby.” Good job, pero baka kulang sa fluoride ang toothpaste niya. Kailangan pa rin ng fluoride application sa dentista:

Every 3 months kung high risk sa cavities
Every 6 months kung low risk

Baby teeth may be temporary pero ang epekto ng pagkasira nila, pangmatagalan. Wag ipagsawalang-bahala ang ngipin ng inyong mga anak.

A healthy smile starts young. 🦷💕

Safe ka na… ay hindi pala. 🤡

Hidden tooth decay works in silence — hindi kita, pero sure na may damage.

Para makasigurong safe ka na from cavities, magpa-dentist pa rin! 🦷

🚫 Periapical Lesions: The Silent Damage Hidden in Untreated Dental Abscesses

This skull offers a striking example of the destructive power of untreated dental infections. Around the first molars of both the upper (maxillary) and lower (mandibular) arches, we can clearly see periapical lesions—dark, hollow areas caused by long-standing abscesses.

Periapical lesions form when bacteria from deep dental caries or pulp necrosis spread beyond the root canal into the surrounding bone. Without treatment, the infection causes chronic inflammation, bone resorption, and destruction of surrounding tissues. Over time, this can compromise the stability of the teeth, leading to pain, swelling, tooth loss, and even systemic complications such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes aggravation, or in rare cases, life-threatening sepsis.

What makes this case so impactful is how visibly the lesions have altered the bone structure—an unmistakable reminder of why endodontic treatment or extraction is essential once an abscess is diagnosed.

👉 This image is not just a look into the past, but a lesson for modern dentistry: prevention, early diagnosis, and timely treatment are critical in protecting oral and overall health.
