A single infected tooth can raise your risk of heart attack, stroke, and even Alzheimer’s.🚨🦷

🧪 Scientists warn that oral health is deeply connected to overall health. Research shows bacteria from infected gums and teeth, such as P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum, can enter the bloodstream and silently spread throughout the body, fueling inflammation and disease.

❤️ Heart: Oral bacteria have been linked to arterial plaque buildup, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. People with untreated gum disease face significantly higher chances of cardiovascular events.

🧠 Brain: Traces of oral bacteria have been found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. This suggests chronic gum infections may play a role in memory loss, dementia, and even stroke.

🩸 Diabetes: Oral infections make blood sugar harder to control, while uncontrolled diabetes accelerates gum disease — creating a dangerous two-way cycle.

🤰 Pregnancy: Gum disease has been connected to premature births, low birth weight, and pregnancy complications, likely through inflammatory chemicals spreading from the mouth.

✅ The mouth is not separate from the body — it is the gateway. Protecting it is not optional. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits are among the simplest yet most powerful ways to safeguard the heart, brain, and entire body.

🚨One missing tooth is never “just one tooth.”
The moment a tooth is lost, your entire mouth begins to change—often silently, but with serious consequences.

When the gap is left unfilled, neighboring teeth drift and tilt into the empty space. This creates misalignment, uneven spacing, and difficulty in cleaning, which allows food to get trapped and increases the risk of cavities and gum infection.

The opposing tooth in the upper jaw (or lower, depending on the lost tooth) also starts to move downward into the gap—a process called supereruption. This not only weakens the bite but can also disturb the natural balance of your jaw.

Over time, the bite changes strain the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), leading to jaw pain, clicking, or even headaches. Chewing efficiency drops, forcing other teeth to work harder, which may accelerate wear and damage.

Beneath the missing tooth, the jawbone begins to shrink because it no longer receives stimulation from chewing. As bone resorbs, facial support weakens, giving the face a sunken or aged appearance.

Worse still, untreated infections from trapped food and decayed neighboring teeth can spread beyond the mouth—contributing to systemic health problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes complications, or worsening existing medical conditions.

✅ The solution: Timely replacement with options like dental implants, bridges, or dentures. Restoring even one missing tooth preserves alignment, bite function, bone health, and overall well-being.

🚨 DOH, NAGBABALA LABAN SA LEPTOSPIROSIS NA MAAARING MAKUHA SA BAHA 🚨

Huwag maglaro at iwasang lumusong sa baha. Mapanganib ang mga mikrobyo mula sa mga basura at dumi na maaring magdulot ng leptospirosis. 🦠

Maaaring magkaroon ng komplikasyon sa atay, bato, at puso ang taong mapapasukan ng mikrobyong leptospira sa katawan.

Kung sakaling malulubog sa baha, agad na maghugas ng katawan gamit ang tubig at sabon. Agad ding kumonsulta sa doktor kung lumusong sa baha nang may sugat o kung makararanas ng sintomas tulad ng lagnat at pananakit ng katawan.

Tumawag sa Telekonsulta hotline 1555 (press 2) para sa mabilis na konsultasyon. 📞

Dental caries affects more people than any other chronic disease — including asthma and diabetes. It’s not just a childhood problem. Cavities can form at any age, and once they start, they don’t heal on their own. The decay process is silent in the beginning, often unnoticed until it reaches deeper layers of the tooth. What makes this more surprising is that caries is almost entirely preventable. With good brushing, flossing, low sugar intake, and regular dental checkups, this disease can be controlled — yet it still impacts billions globally. It’s a small issue that becomes big if ignored.
