A concerned netizen sent to us a post from a patient expressing frustration about a dental visit. While we respect everyone’s right to express themselves, we feel the need to clarify misinformation and protect both patients and the dental profession for everyone's awareness. 😇

1. Hindi agad bunot ang solusyon. 💯

Dentists always assess if a tooth can still be saved. 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲—𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗲. That’s why if a tooth can still be treated and preserved through procedures like root canal treatment (RCT), that option is suggested and prioritized. Pero at the end of the day, decision pa rin ito ni patient.

2. Bakit may antibiotics at pain relievers muna? 🤔

𝗜𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀. Antibiotics and pain management are given first to control the infection before any surgical procedure. This is for the safety of the patient, not extra gastos lang.

3. Root Canal Treatment vs. Bunot – Magkaibang approach. 🆚

• Root canal treatment (RCT): Preserves the natural tooth, allows you to still chew properly, and prevents further complications. Yes, it costs more because it requires specialized skills, tools, and multiple appointments.
• Extraction: Cheaper and faster, but may lead to shifting teeth, bone loss, bite problems, and the need for dentures/implants later—which are far more costly in the long run.

4. Consultation fees 🩺👩‍⚕️

Professional fees are not simply "nagsalita ka lang naman Doc". Every consultation involves proper assessment, diagnosis, and medical responsibility. Dentists spent millions to give you the best health opinion and advice, plus they allot you chair time and consumables during the visit. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀.

5. Respect and Trust. 🤝

Threatening or disrespecting medical professionals is dangerous and unfair. Dentists are here to help, but they cannot compromise your safety just to give in to demands that may harm you in the long run.

✅ Public Reminder: If you are unsure or feel conflicted about your treatment plan, you have the right to ask questions or even seek a second opinion—but always with respect and understanding of the science and ethics behind dentistry.

🦷 Protect your smile. Trust the process. Respect your dentist.

🦷 Hey guys, quick reminder.
Kung naka-braces ka, don’t skip your monthly adjustment ha! 📢

𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙤𝙬𝙣. Hindi 'yan design lang sa ngipin guys. Treatment 'yan. 💯
They need monthly monitoring para gumalaw yung teeth safely and correctly.

❗ What happens if you skip adjustments?
Here’s the real talk:

🔴 Delayed results –
Baka instead of 2 years lang ang treatment mo, umabot ng 3 years or more!
Sayang ang time, effort, at bayad.

🔴 Wrong tooth movement –
Without proper adjustments, your teeth might move in the wrong direction.
That means more work — and possibly restarting some steps.

🔴 Loose wires or broken brackets –
Kapag napabayaan, pwedeng makasugat sa cheeks or gums.
Uncomfortable na, unsafe pa.

🔴 Bone and gum issues –
Your jawbone and gums are adjusting too.
Kapag hindi mo pinapa-check monthly, pwedeng magka-complications like bone loss or gum inflammation.

🔴 Higher risk of cavities or bad breath –
Kasi walang regular check-up and cleaning, bacteria can build up around your brackets. Worst case, magkaroon ka pa ng tooth decay!

✨ In short: Every adjustment counts.
Skipping one or two might seem like no big deal now —
pero in the long run, ikaw rin ang magsu-suffer. 😬

So kung may braces ka, magpa-adjust ka regularly. Hindi 'yung puro ka selfie dyan, masakit na pala ang ngipin mo or may decay na pala! 🤭

Impacted wisdom teeth are third molars that don't have enough space to fully erupt in the mouth. Because of this, they often grow at odd angles — pushing against the second molars. What’s alarming is that this damage usually happens without any noticeable pain in the early stages. You might feel completely fine, while silent destruction is taking place underneath the gums.

As the impacted wisdom tooth presses against the second molar, it can slowly erode the healthy tooth's root or enamel. This constant pressure can create a trap for bacteria and food particles, increasing the risk of deep cavities, gum infections, and even bone loss between the two teeth. If left undetected, the healthy molar — which is critical for chewing — might end up needing a root canal, a large filling, or even extraction.

Since the process is often painless at first, many patients don’t realize there’s a problem until it’s too late. That’s why dentists recommend regular X-rays during the late teens or early twenties, when wisdom teeth typically start to erupt. Catching the problem early means the difference between a simple extraction and permanent damage to your healthy teeth.

If you still have your wisdom teeth and haven’t had them evaluated recently, it’s worth asking your dentist for an updated scan. Early action can save your smile from long-term complications.

It’s been begging for a simple filling for months 😅

Many parents give their babies a bottle of milk at bedtime to help them fall asleep. While this may seem harmless, it can quietly harm your child’s teeth. When a baby falls asleep with milk in their mouth, the natural sugars in milk stay on the teeth for long periods. During sleep, saliva flow reduces, making it harder for the mouth to wash away these sugars.

This creates a perfect environment for bacteria to grow. The bacteria feed on the sugars and produce acid that attacks the tooth enamel. Over time, this leads to early tooth decay — especially in the upper front teeth — even if your child is very young or still has only baby teeth.

This kind of decay is known as nursing bottle caries. It can cause pain, infection, and even problems with speech or eating later on. That’s why it's important to avoid putting your child to bed with a bottle, and to clean their teeth or gums before sleep, even if they only have a few teeth. Early prevention protects their smile for life.

Research shows that an untreated tooth abscess can allow bacteria to enter the bloodstream, leading to sepsis—a life-threatening condition where the body’s response to infection causes widespread inflammation and organ damage.

Even in healthy individuals, this can quickly affect vital organs like the kidneys, lungs, and brain, resulting in serious complications or death if not treated in time. That’s why early dental care is critical—what starts as a simple tooth infection can rapidly become a medical emergency.

Friendly reminder to our valued orthodontic patients..

Warning po sa mga nagpapa-install ng Orthodontic Braces tapos hindi na bumabalik for adjustment or check-up…friendly advise, i-save mo na lang ang pera mo dahil may chance na mas lalong masira ang ngipin mo kahit dentist pa ang nagkabit nyan. 😱🥲

Ang Braces po is hindi pang-pa-cute lang. Hindi ito fashion statement — 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

You think okay ka na kasi dentist ang nag-install ng braces mo? Diyan ka nagkakamali friendd. ❌

Kapag hindi ka bumabalik for proper adjustment, your teeth could be moving the WRONG way. 😢

➡️ Namimis-align lalo at nagkakaroon ng unwanted spacing.
➡️ Pwedeng mamaga ang gums lalo kung poor ang dental hygiene.
➡️ Masisira ang ngipin dahil hindi masyadong nalilinis.
➡️ Baka matanggal sa buto ang ngipin mo, and yes, totoo yan.

And worst?
💸 You’ll pay double later — for repair, for extraction or surgeries, maybe even for dentures.
💔 Yung confidence na inaasam mo, mauuwi sa regret.
🪄 Ang masama nyan friend sinisisi mo pa yung dentist mo kapag may nangyaring hindi maganda sa ngipin mo, eh hindi ka nga bumabalik. 🥹😅

So please, kung may braces ka —
BALIK KA SA DENTIST. PA-ADJUST KA. MAGPA-CHECK UP KA.
Capslock na yan ha. Wag puro selfie!😅 Promise, akala mo okay lang na hindi magpa-adjust? Lalong masisira ang ngipin mo frienddd. 🥲

✅ Dental treatment is a commitment.
Kung nagpa-install ka ng braces, tapusin mo friend. If hindi mo kaya mag-commit for adjustment, ipatanggal mo na lang.
Your future smile depends on it.
