Researchers have discovered that antibodies passed from mother to baby before birth and through breastfeeding may do more than provide early protection—they may help shape the developing oral immune system in ways that reduce the risk of gum disease later in life.

The study found that antibodies transferred before birth helped the immune system learn to distinguish beneficial oral bacteria from harmful ones. Meanwhile, antibodies received through breast milk supported the healthy development of the mouth's protective lining, helping strengthen the natural barrier against infection.

Together, these early immune effects were associated with better long-term oral health. However, these findings are based on laboratory mouse models, so further human studies are needed before they can be applied to clinical practice.

“Doc, may tigyawat ako sa gilagid?!?!”

-Ang tawag dyan ay Fistula. Karaniwang matatagpuan ang “pimple” sa gilagid/ ngala-ngala, pero hindi yan acne. Ibig lang sabihin may nana sa ngipin mo, infected and ngipin mo. 🦠

Kung maalat din ang nalalasahan mo, or may kakaiba sa panlasa mo, malamang infected ang tooth mo.

“Doc pwede pa ba ipasta?”

Hindi na po. Kasi parang naglagay ka lang ng plaster sa sugat na may nana sa loob, hindi gagaling.

“Doc di naman po nasakit pwede pa ba ipasta?” Hindi na nga po mæm. RCT or bunot lang ang solusyon. 🩺

Treatment for this:

1. Root Canal

“Doc di ba nakaka cancer ang root canal?” - kakatiktok mo yan! Walang scientific proof na root canal causes cancer. In fact, nakakatulong pa nga ang RCT kasi tinatanggal ang infection na pwedeng magdulot ng mas malalang sakit.

2. Bunot
Basta make sure na after bunutan ireplace ang missing tooth by means of pustiso or fixed bridge o pwede ring implant.

Kung may fistula ka na, ibig sabihin matagal nang may infection. Hindi solusyon ang pasta. To avoid problems like this, make sure to visit your licensed dentist. Yun lang, byeeee~ 🦷

When a child uses a pacifier for too long, especially beyond age 2–3, it can start affecting the way their teeth and jaws develop. The constant sucking motion can push the upper front teeth forward and the lower teeth backward, leading to what's called an "open bite" — where the teeth don’t meet properly when the mouth is closed. Over time, this can also narrow the upper jaw and change the natural shape of the palate. These changes may not correct themselves and can lead to speech problems, bite issues, and the need for orthodontic treatment later on.
