The first cavity-causing bacteria may come from someone who loves a child the most.

Tooth decay isn't just about sugar. Before a cavity can form, the mouth must first become colonized by cavity-causing bacteria. One of the most important species, Streptococcus mutans, can be transferred from parents or caregivers to young children through saliva-sharing behaviors.

A landmark systematic review and meta-analysis examined 36 human studies, including 19 studies in quantitative analysis. Using modern genetic fingerprinting techniques, researchers found strong evidence that many children acquire the same strains of Streptococcus mutans carried by their mothers, confirming biological transmission rather than simple coincidence.

Common saliva-sharing habits that may transfer these bacteria include: • Sharing spoons or forks • Tasting food with the same utensil before feeding • Cleaning a dropped pacifier with the mouth • Sharing cups, straws, or toothbrushes

This does not mean every child exposed will develop cavities. Dental caries is a multifactorial disease. Bacterial transmission is only one step; diet, oral hygiene, fluoride exposure, saliva, and time all influence whether cavities actually develop.

𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐚𝐝𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐊𝐀𝐏𝐀𝐆....

𝟭. 𝗞𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗴 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗸𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗱𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁! ❌
Kung ang balak mo lang talaga ay magpakabit ng braces at hindi ka na babalik after, kahit sa dentist pa yan, mali yan!
Hindi dahil nakakabit na ang braces ay kusa nang aayos ang ngipin. Continuous ang movement ng mga ngipin at kailangan itong regular na ma-monitor ng dentista mo. Kapag pinabalik ka after 1 week, one month, bumalik ka po. May chance din na ma-over sa movement ang ngipin kung sobrang tagal mo bumalik sa dentist mo. 🥲

𝟮. 𝗞𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗴 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗺𝗮𝗮𝘆𝗼𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝘆𝗴𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀 🪥
Mas madaling maipon ang pagkain at plaque sa paligid ng brackets at wires. Kapag napabayaan, pwedeng magkaroon ng cavities, bad breath, at gum disease. Hindi dahil may dentista ka, petiks ka na sa pag-toothbrush. Once a month lang kayo nagkikita ng dentist mo, ikaw ang may responsibility sa oral hygiene mo. 💫

𝟯. 𝗞𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘆 𝗸𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗸𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗸𝗶𝘁 𝗻𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗸𝗮𝗶𝗻. 🍬
Pwedeng matanggal ang brackets o wires mo kapag hindi ka nag-iingat sa pagkain! Iwasang kumagat sa mga matitigas o mga pagkain na nakakasabit at nakakatanggal ng brackets mo. Sayang lang ang bayad mo dahil poor ang magiging progress ng treatment mo kung palagi kang natatanggalan ng brackets.

𝟰. 𝗞𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗴 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗺𝗼 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝗺𝗼.
Kasama dito ang pagsuot ng elastics at iba pang instructions na mahalaga ang part sa treatment mo tulad ng appliance na dapat mong isuot. Always remember na naka-depende rin sa iyo ang progress ng treatment mo. Kung hindi ka sumusunod, walang magiging progress sa braces mo. 🥲

𝟱. 𝗞𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗽 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 "𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗸𝗼, 𝗼𝗸𝗮𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗮 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗯𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗸."
Ang braces ay isang tool lang. Ang results ay nakadepende sa cooperation between dentist and patient. Kung hindi ka rin sumusunod sa dentist mo, bakit ka pa nagpa-braces? Baka magkaroon lang ng complications in the long run.

Ang bottomline,

Hindi delikado ang braces kung tama ang pag-aalaga at regular ang balik sa dentist. Pero kapag pinabayaan mo ang oral hygiene mo at hindi ka sumusunod sa advise ng dentist, doon nagsisimula ang mga problem na maaaring maka-affect hindi lang sa ngipin, kundi pati sa overall oral health. 😷🦷

Remember: Ang braces treatment ay hindi natatapos sa pag-install lang ng braces. Cooperation ito between dentist and patient to achieve the optimal and best results. Kung matigas ang ulo mo, baka mas lalo lang masira ang ngipin mo. 🥲

"𝗗𝗼𝗰, 𝗯𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗸 𝘆𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗸𝗶 𝗸𝗼 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀..." 😭

Nakaka-frustrate talaga 'yan, lalo na kung ilang taon mo ring pinagtiyagaan ang braces journey mo. 🙃

Pero here's something na hindi masyadong napag-uusapan...

𝙃𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞 𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙩 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙜𝙖𝙡 𝙣𝙖 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨, 𝙩𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙨 𝙣𝙖 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩. 😅

After ma-align ang mga ngipin, may tendency pa rin silang gumalaw. Kaya importante ang 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 para matulungan silang mag-stay sa tamang position.

Minsan kasi, dahil busy sa work, school, o life in general, nakakalimutan na nating isuot ang retainers. Yung iba naman, nawala na at hindi na napalitan. Tapos hindi na rin nakakapagpacheck-up ulit kaya napapabayaan na ang ngipin. 🥲

And honestly, sobrang common nito.

𝗛𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗸𝗶 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁. Kadalasan, paunti-unti siyang nangyayari hanggang sa mapansin mo na lang sa salamin o sa pictures na parang may nag-iba ulit 'yung smile mo.

Kaya kung may retainer ka pa diyan, consider this as your friendly reminder. ☺️

Sayang naman yung years of effort at investment sa braces kung pababayaan lang natin ang result. 🦷✨

Honest question...

Regular mo pa rin bang sinusuot ang retainer mo? 👀

😖 “𝗗𝗼𝗰, 𝗯𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘁 𝗽𝗼 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘁 𝘆𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗻 𝗸𝗼 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗶𝘆𝗼 𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮?”

Honestly, isa ito sa mga possible na mangyari sa mga restoration/pasta sa ngipin na sobrang laki/lalim na ng cavities.

And no, hindi ibig sabihin na may mali sa treatment ng dentist. 😊

Minsan kasi, bago pa tayo magpapa-check, may existing sensitivity na pala yung ngipin. Yung tipong may konting kirot sa malamig, may sensitivity sa matamis or kapag nasingitan ng food particles, o may discomfort na paminsan-minsan pero sa tingin natin hindi pa naman enough para mapilitan tayong magpa-dentist agad. 😅

Kapag naalis na yung cavity at nai-pasta na, may possibility na maging sensitive muna ang ngipin habang nag-aadjust at nagre-recover. Lalo na kung malalim ang cavity o malapit na ito sa nerve.

May iba ring factors na puwedeng maka-contribute dito:
🔹 Kumain kaagad ng matitigas na pagkain or pinang-kagat agad ang bagong restore na ngipin
🔹 Hindi nasunod ang aftercare instructions
🔹 Poor oral hygiene

So hindi ibig sabihin na may discomfort after magpa-pasta ay may problem sa treatment. Sometimes, it’s simply part of the healing and adjustment process ng ngipin after ma-treat. 😉

Of course, kung tuloy-tuloy, lumalala, o hindi nawawala ang pananakit, it’s always best to go back to your dentist para ma-check nang maayos. 🦷✨

Kaya kung may pangingilo ka pa lang ngayon, don’t ignore it. Because most of the time, the earlier we check it, the more options we have to save the tooth, at mas mura pa! 💸

Be honest… may tooth concern ka rin ba na hindi mo pa pinapa-check dahil hindi pa sumasakit or nagco-cause ng discomfort? 👀😅 Huwag nang patagalin, dahil kapag lumala, for sure mas mahal ang treatment! 🥶
