these symptoms indicate an advanced periodontal infection, and yes po, if left untreated will ultimately lead to tooth extraction aka bunot = bungi, AND yes po ulet, preventable if only you regularly have your check up and cleaning done😊

Oras na para silipin bawat sulok ng inyong mga bibig😄

“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~ 🦷

Many believe milk teeth are unimportant because they “fall out anyway.” This is one of the most harmful myths in dentistry.

Milk teeth, or primary teeth, play crucial roles — they keep proper spacing in the jaw, guide permanent teeth into position, and help with correct alignment. They are also vital for chewing, nutrition, clear speech, and normal jaw development.

When milk teeth are neglected, cavities and infections can develop. These infections can spread into the bone and reach developing permanent tooth buds, causing enamel defects or early damage even before the tooth erupts.

Losing milk teeth too early can cause nearby teeth to drift, reducing the space for permanent teeth. This often leads to crowding and the need for orthodontic treatment later.

Caring for milk teeth is not optional — it is the foundation for lifelong oral health. Start brushing from the first tooth and visit the dentist by age one to prevent problems that can last well beyond childhood.

Using your teeth to open a bottle may seem harmless in the moment, but it places extreme pressure on the enamel — the hard outer layer designed only for chewing and biting food. When teeth are used as tools, especially against hard metal caps, the force can exceed their natural limits.

This can result in microfractures, chips, or complete splits in the enamel and underlying dentin. In severe cases, the tooth may fracture vertically or at the root, making it non-restorable and requiring extraction. Even a small crack can compromise the structural integrity of the tooth, leading to sensitivity, infection, or long-term complications.

Dentists often see patients with cracked or broken incisors from such habits. It’s important to remember: teeth are not tools. Preserving their natural structure is far more valuable than risking damage for a shortcut.
