Pakiayos po choices natin sa buhay ngayong 2026 ha…

This can happen.

A 12-year-old boy was brought to the dental clinic with severe swelling, pain, and a foul odor from his gums. On examination, clinicians were shocked to find multiple live maggots moving within the necrotic tissue — a rare and alarming condition known as oral myiasis. The infestation had developed in areas of long-standing gum infection that had been left untreated for weeks.

Further investigation revealed poor oral hygiene and open gingival wounds that provided an entry point for flies to deposit their eggs. Within days, these eggs hatched into larvae that began feeding on the decomposing gum tissue. The boy’s gums were swollen, ulcerated, and emitted a characteristic putrid smell typical of advanced soft-tissue infection.

The treatment involved the careful manual removal of dozens of maggots using forceps under magnification, followed by irrigation with antiseptic solutions and local debridement of necrotic tissue. Systemic antibiotics and supportive therapy were started immediately to control secondary infection and inflammation.

Within a week of intensive care, the infection subsided and healthy granulation tissue began to form. The case highlights a rare but serious complication of neglected oral hygiene — demonstrating how simple gum infections can evolve into a severe parasitic infestation if left untreated.

When braces come off, the job isn’t finished. The bone and tiny elastic fibers around teeth still “remember” where the teeth used to be. Like a stretched rubber band wanting to snap back, these tissues slowly try to pull teeth toward their old position.

That’s why retainers are so important — they act like seatbelts for your new smile. Without them, all those years of treatment can slowly be undone. Experts recommend these steps to keep teeth straight:

1️⃣ Always wear your retainer as your dentist or orthodontist prescribes.
2️⃣ Consider a fixed retainer for front teeth if your doctor suggests it.
3️⃣ Go for regular check-ups so small shifts are caught early.
4️⃣ Keep gums and teeth healthy with good brushing, flossing, and cleanings.
5️⃣ Wear your retainer long-term — sometimes even for life at night.
6️⃣ Correct harmful habits like tongue thrusting or nail biting.
7️⃣ Ask your dentist about special procedures if teeth were severely rotated.

Braces straighten. Retainers protect. Skipping them means giving your old smile a chance to come back.
