WARNING ON DIY BRACES |

DIY braces, which involve using rubber bands, strings, or other materials to straighten teeth at home, are extremely dangerous and should never be attempted. These methods can cause significant and potentially permanent damage to your teeth, gums, and supporting bone structure.

For dental alignment concerns, please consult with an Orthodontist.

Importance of Replacing missing teeth

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.

Even losing just one tooth can set off a chain reaction in your mouth. Each tooth plays a specific role in maintaining your bite and helping distribute chewing forces evenly. When one is lost, the teeth around it can begin to shift into the empty space. This movement may not be noticeable at first, but over time it can lead to misalignment, crowding, or gaps elsewhere in the mouth.

Changes in bite alignment can also affect how your upper and lower teeth come together. This imbalance puts extra pressure on the jaw joints (TMJ), muscles, and remaining teeth. As a result, patients may experience discomfort while chewing, jaw fatigue, or even chronic joint issues.

Moreover, a missing tooth leaves that area of the jawbone without stimulation, which can lead to gradual bone loss. Over time, this may alter the shape of your face and weaken support for adjacent teeth. That’s why it’s important to address even a single missing tooth promptly—whether through implants, bridges, or other restorative options—to protect the overall structure and function of your mouth.

Ang buwan ng Hunyo ay inilalaan sa paggunita ng National No Smoking Month.

Ito ay taun-taon na ginugunita upang patuloy isulong ang pagbibigay kaalaman sa mga masasamang epekto na dulot ng sigarilyo at v**e.

Tandaan, ang paninigarilyo at paggamit ng v**e ay parehas lang na nakakasama sa ating kalusugan. Ito ay nagdudulot ng sari-saring mga sakit, tulad ng kanser sa bibig, baga, at sa iba pang organs ng ating katawan.

Kaya huwag gumamit at magpaloko sa v**e at sigarilyo. Ang ating katawan ay laging ingatan!

Baby teeth is essential ☝️

A study found that children with untreated cavities are more likely to experience poor growth and nutritional deficiencies. The research observed over 1,400 children and revealed a strong association between dental caries in early childhood and lower body weight, shorter height, and delayed eruption of permanent teeth.

The findings suggest that dental infections and chronic tooth pain can lead to difficulty in eating, poor appetite, and disrupted sleep, all of which contribute to reduced calorie and nutrient intake. This can impair the child’s physical development and overall health, especially during critical growth years.

The study highlights the importance of early dental care, regular check-ups, and timely treatment of cavities. Raising awareness among parents, schools, and caregivers about the long-term effects of untreated tooth decay is crucial—not just for oral health, but for the child’s entire physical development.

Emerging research suggests that Alzheimer’s disease may be linked to an unexpected culprit — gum disease.

A study discovered the presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis, a bacteria responsible for chronic periodontitis, in the brains of deceased Alzheimer’s patients.

Researchers found that when mice were infected with the bacteria, it colonized their brains and triggered the production of amyloid beta, a protein commonly associated with Alzheimer’s. This evidence strengthens the hypothesis that the disease could have infectious origins rather than being solely a neurodegenerative disorder.

The study also revealed that toxic enzymes from the bacteria were present in individuals who had Alzheimer's-related brain changes but had not yet been diagnosed with dementia, suggesting the infection may begin years before symptoms appear.

This discovery opens the door to new potential treatments. A pharmaceutical company, Cortexyme, developed a compound called COR388, which showed promise in reducing both bacterial infection and amyloid beta accumulation in animal trials. While human trials are needed to confirm its effectiveness, the study underscores the importance of oral hygiene in brain health. Scientists remain cautiously optimistic, emphasizing that with no new dementia treatments in over 15 years, investigating all possible causes is crucial. While more research is needed, the link between gum disease and Alzheimer’s highlights a simple yet vital message: taking care of your teeth might help protect your brain in the long run.
