👀Bakit nga ba nasisira kaagad ang pasta sa ngipin kahit weeks/months pa lang?

Yes, opo - pasta can last 5-10 years (or more) if you take care of it. Pero minsan, it fails much earlier - and it's not because "mali ang gawa ng dentista, o pangit ang materials." Most of the time, it's because of these common habits and conditions ni patient!

🚫Most common reasons:

1️⃣Poking & Picking - Toothpicks, nails, or kung ano-anong
pagtusok dahil lang naco-conscious ka can cause microcracks.
2️⃣Biting Hard Stuff - Ice, hard candy, pen caps, or
pagbubukas ng sachet gamit ngipin = stress fracture agad.
3️⃣Poor Oral Hygiene - Plaque and bacteria can sneak under the filling, making it weak.
4️⃣Teeth Grinding or Clenching - Puts extreme pressure that chips or loosens your pasta.
5️⃣Weak Tooth Structure - Kung manipis na or malaki na ang sira, even the best filling won't last long. It can also cause pain and sensitivity.

⚠️Remember: Hindi lahat ng ngipin pwedeng i-restore with pasta. If the damage is too deep or the structure is weak, you may need a crown, root canal, or extraction.

💡Pro tip: Think of pasta as protection, not a forever fix. Take care if it, avoid bad habits, and keep up with dental checkups para tumagal. Hindi 'yan tulad ng natural tooth, artificial lang iyan.

Good pasta isn't cheap. Cheap pasta isn't good.

‘Wag gano'n, bes! 🤭

Kahit na laging naka face mask, ugaliin pa rin ang mag sipilyo at floss ng ngipin araw-araw upang maiwasan ang pagkakaroon ng bad breath, tooth decay, at iba pang malalang problema sa kalusugan ng bibig.

Makatutulong din ang paggamit ng mouthwash gaya ng Gengigel Hydrogel Mouthrinse para mapanatiling healthy ang gums.

If you think that baby teeth are temporary, and therefore, not important? Well, think again.

Healthy baby teeth will usually result in healthy permanent teeth. Children who constantly drink from bottle is at higher risk of developing baby bottle tooth decay also known as "early childhood caries." It is a common problem among children under the age of five but can be avoided through awareness and prevention such as:

• Wipe your baby's gums with a clean, damp gauze pad or washcloth after feeding.

• Never let your baby fall asleep with a bottle filled with milk, juice, or soda in their mouth.

• Teach your child to drink from a cup by the age of 1 and discourage frequent or prolonged use of a training or sippy cup.

• Never give your child a pacifier dipped in anything sweet.

• Limit the amount of sweet or sticky foods your child eats.

• When your child’s first tooth appears, brush it with fluoride toothpaste and talk to your dentist about scheduling the first dental visit.

Early prevention is the key to a lifetime of good dental health. Parents play a very important role in protecting a child's teeth, and your dentist is your partner in taking care of your child's oral health. Visit your dentist now!

Good oral health leads to good overall health - but wiping out the root cause of oral infection doesn’t have to stain your teeth.

Keep your mouth healthy and stain-free by using Povidone-Iodine (𝗕𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗘®).

When should you expect your little one's teeth to start coming in and where?

Teething usually starts around 6 months of age, but it can begin at any time between the ages of 3 and 12 months. Most children have a full set of 20 primary teeth by the age of 3.

While each baby's timetable differs, there is a typical teething order for each specific type of baby tooth. Check out this baby teething chart to learn when it all starts.

Make sure to have GENGIGEL throughout your baby's teething journey. It safely relieves teething pain and reduces gum swelling and inflammation in infants and children.
