Bring your kids to the dentist when their first tooth comes in. Yes, that early. That’s what’s recommended.

We started scheduling appointments the moment that first little tooth popped through. Because we believe in preventative care. We believe in good habits from the start.

I don’t care if they’re “just baby teeth.” I’ve heard that excuse too many times.
Those baby teeth? They hold space for permanent ones. They affect speech, jaw development, confidence.

So no, it’s not “too early.”
It’s responsible. It’s intentional.
It’s the opposite of what so many of us grew up with.

Don’t be the parent who shrugs it off, who waits until there’s pain, infection, trauma.
Be the cycle breaker.
The one who teaches dental care isn’t a luxury, it’s basic hygiene.

Because some of us are now spending our adulthood in pain, paying the price for what our parents ignored.

You can do better. Your kids deserve better.

“Cavities don’t hurt… until it’s too late.”

In their early stages, dental caries (cavities) silently erode the enamel—the outer protective layer of the tooth—without causing any pain. This is because enamel has no nerves. By the time a cavity reaches the dentin or the pulp, where nerves and blood vessels reside, symptoms like sensitivity and pain begin. At this point, the damage is often extensive and may require invasive treatment like root canal therapy.

Don’t wait for pain. Early detection through regular dental check-ups is the only way to stop cavities before they become serious.

The bacteria that cause gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis can travel through the bloodstream, leading to inflammation and damage in your blood vessels.

For diabetics, the connection is even more serious — high blood sugar can damage your teeth, and in turn, dental issues can make blood sugar harder to control.

It’s a vicious cycle that many people don’t realize.

The result? Cavities can literally lead to heart disease and even death — especially in those with preexisting health conditions. But despite how crucial dental health is, teeth are often treated as “luxury bones.”

Dental care, including cleanings and maintenance, is rarely fully covered by insurance. It’s a particularly prominent problem in the US, leaving many to deal with the consequences of untreated problems.

And if a tooth infection spreads, it can quickly become a life-threatening issue by traveling to the brain or bloodstream.

Ito ay mga central incisors hindi ng 20 years old or 30 or 50 or even 60 kundi ng isang 11 year old child, and yes permanent teeth po ito. Yes, wala nang papalit dito. ‘Edi doc bungi na po sya?’ Yes bungi na sya sa front. And yes, magpupustiso na sya dahil hindi pa po pwede i fixed bridge ang ganitong edad. What is alarming here is that at a very young age, the patient already needs to wear dentures to restore the missing teeth. 🥹

Actually sa practice ko, napapansin ko na pabata ng pabata ang mga pasyente ko who need extraction of their permanent teeth, not because ito na lang ang solusyon ha? We can always do pulp therapy. But because this is the only solution na pasok sa budget ng ibang patients. And also they are not well informed about treatments like root canal, pulpotomy and even pulpectomy. 🦷

What can we do to avoid this situation? Early detection and prevention. By what? Brushing, flossing, regular cleaning, and dental check up. Establishing a routine sa bahay is also very important, that’s why you should start them young! Alongside the Oral Hygiene routine, it is essential to visit your dentist to prevent gum disease and cavities from forming. Itong 2 ito (cavity & gum disease) ang mga rason kung bakit maaga at mabilis nasisira ang ngipin natin. 🪥

So when is the first visit ba dapat ng anak ninyo sa dentist? It is when the first tooth erupts. Para di confusing, kahit atleast 1 year old si baby. We can do brushing, fluoride application, and dental check up!

Early prevention is the key to having a perfect and healthy set of teeth even after you’re 70! This is a sign na no! Book your appointments now! 🦷

How old is your toothbrush? When was the last time you got a new one? 🤔

If you're not quite sure how often you should change your toothbrush, you're not alone: Past data shows 42% of people don't change their toothbrush as often as they're supposed to.

Most of us know our toothbrushes aren't meant to last forever. But it can be hard to figure out when our beloved bristles are nearing the end of their natural lifespan. Once the bristles in your toothbrush start to lose their stiffness, the toothbrush is almost ready for the trash.

According to manufacturer guidelines and dentist recommendations, your toothbrush should be changed every 3 months. Here are some reasons why it's important to change your toothbrush often:

• Toothbrushes wear down, and bristles break off, making, them less effective at removing plaque over time.

• Germs from colds and other illnesses can linger on a toothbrush, increasing the risks of reinfection.

• Bacteria build up on your toothbrush, as bathrooms are havens for various contaminants.

• Frayed bristles may become sharp and cut your gums, leaving your entire mouth vulnerable to infections, reinfections and more.

Change your brush now because proper oral health begins with attention to details in your daily oral routine!
