Formal Notice of Non-Compliance with Dental Law
Subject: Prohibition of Promotional Activities in Dental Clinics

This document serves as an official notice regarding continued non-compliance despite prior verbal warning and the issuance of this written notice.

Statement of Non-Compliance
The concerned party has failed to abide by the directive communicated verbally and reiterated through this notice. Specifically, the clinic has engaged in promotional activities that are strictly prohibited under the Philippine Dental Act of 2007 (Republic Act No. 9484) and the PRC Code of Ethics for Dentists.

Legal Basis
* Republic Act No. 9484
(Philippine Dental Act of 2007)
* Section 23 prohibits dentists and dental clinics from engaging in promotional schemes, advertisements, or inducements that mislead or exploit patients.
* Section 24 mandates adherence to professional conduct standards set by the PRC Board of Dentistry.
* PRC Code of Ethics for Dentists
* Dentists must avoid commercialism and cannot advertise services in a manner resembling retail promotions.
* Discounts, giveaways, or promotional campaigns are considered unethical and subject to disciplinary action.

Consequence of Continued Non-Compliance:
Should the concerned party persist in ignoring this directive despite the issuance of this notice, the matter will be escalated.
PDA Bulacan will report the violation directly to the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) for appropriate disciplinary action, which may include suspension or revocation of license.

Final Reminder
Compliance with Republic Act No. 9484 and the PRC Code of Ethics is mandatory. This notice serves as the final reminder before escalation to the PRC.

“ A HAPPY MOUTH IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT”

WORLD ORAL HEALTH DAY!!

Sa pagdiriwang ng World Oral Health Day, pinaaalalahanan tayo kung gaano kahalaga ang pangangalaga sa ating bibig mula pagkabata hanggang pagtanda.

Ang simpleng pagsisimula nang maaga, paggamit ng fluoride toothpaste, tamang pagsisipilyo at pagfa-floss, pagkain ng masusustansyang pagkain, at pag-inom ng sapat na tubig ay makatutulong upang mapanatiling malinis at matibay ang ating mga ngipin.

Iwasan din ang labis na matatamis na pagkain at inumin na maaaring makasira sa ngipin. Higit sa lahat, huwag kalimutang magpatingin nang regular sa dentista upang maagapan ang anumang problema.

Tandaan, ang malusog na bibig ay susi sa pangkalahatang kalusugan—kaya simulan natin ang tamang pag-aalaga ngayon para sa mas maliwanag at masayang ngiti bukas!

Sa International Day of Persons with Disabilities, ipinapaalala natin na ang oral health ay para sa lahat. Ang bawat taong may kapansanan ay may karapatang magkaroon ng ligtas, patas, at accessible na dental care. Suportahan natin ang inclusive na serbisyo, tamang oral hygiene education, at pag-aalaga sa kanilang ngiti—walang hadlang, walang stigma.

Sama-sama nating isulong, kasama ng Philippine Dental Association at Philippine Dental Association Bulacan Chapter, ang malusog na bibig, malusog na ngiti para sa lahat. 🦷✨

Ngayong World AIDS Day, alalahanin natin na ang HIV ay hindi parusa, sakit ito na pwedeng maiwasan at gamutin.
Sa tamang kaalaman at walang stigma, mas marami tayong matutulungan.

✅ Hindi nakukuha ang HIV sa yakap, sabay kumain, o paghahawak.
✅ Naipapasa ito sa unprotected s*x, sharing needles, at blood exposure.
✅ May treatment (ART) na tumutulong para maging healthy at hindi na makahawa ang may HIV.

Ayon sa UNAIDS at World Health Organization, layunin ang ending AIDS sa patuloy na awareness, testing, at treatment.

Magpa-test. Maging informed. Maging mabait.
Tigil stigma, piliin ang pag-unawa. ❤️
