Bring your children to the dentist. 🦷🪥😁

If the child has older siblings, you can help them get acquainted with the dental clinic and its environment by taking them too during the older sibling’s dental appointment.

If there’s no other way to save your permanent tooth and pulling it out is the only option, replace it immediately with an implant, or a fixed or removable denture after tooth extraction. Delaying its replacement has adverse consequences.

Delaying missing teeth replacement can be highly costly ⚠️🦷

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers and father figures!
May you continue to be the strength and pillar of your family.

He who has bad breath cannot smell it.

Dentists will help you solve that problem!

Happy Philippines Independence Day!!!

DENTAL EMERGENCY: KNOCKED-OUT TOOTH

Knocked-out tooth or avulsed tooth occurs when a tooth is completely dislodged from its socket. Avulsed tooth is a dental emergency and requires immediate treatment.

WHAT TO DO if you or someone you know has a tooth (or teeth) knocked out:
It is important to remain calm and act quickly.

Step 1: Locate the tooth as quickly as possible and pick it up by the crown. Handle your tooth by the top or crown only — don't touch the roots. Inspect the crown and root to determine if any portion of either appears to be missing or fractured.

Step 2: If dirty, rinse the tooth with some milk, or if milk is not available rinse using tap water but only for a second or two. Do not scrub or soak the tooth. This damages the root surface, making the tooth less likely to survive.

Step 3: Insert the tooth back into its previous position in the mouth, making sure it is the right way around and in the right place. Compare it to the surrounding teeth to make sure you’ve got it right. Once it’s in, gently bite down on a clean piece of soft cloth or tissue to help keep the tooth in place. Hold the tooth in place until you see your dentist.

If you can’t get the tooth back in, don’t force it. Keep the tooth moist at all times by storing it in a small container with a small amount (enough to cover the whole tooth) of MILK or SALIVA. Do not place the tooth in water. Do not wrap the tooth in tissue or cloth as this will dry out the tooth.

Step 4: See a dentist IMMEDIATELY, ideally within 30 minutes. The sooner the tooth is replaced, the greater the likelihood it will survive.

Your TEETH affect your SMILE and nothing you wear is more important than your smile. 😁

Your smile is our happiness.

It’s not the years in your life that counts. It’s the life in your years. – Abraham Lincoln

Age gracefully. You deserve it.
Let's bring back your youthful smile with a good set of teeth.

It may look like a stain or a small tooth decay, but you will never know what lies underneath it... You may be surprised! 😲😲😲 Tooth decay quickly progresses underneath without even noticing it.

Don't let that cavity get big. Have your teeth checked regularly. 🦷
Visit your dentist.

CALCULAR DEPOSIT or TARTAR forms when the soft, bacterial film on your teeth hardens. It can coat the teeth and gums. This will look like white, chalky marks on the surface of your teeth. It can lead to bad bread, gingivitis, and receding gums.

Calcular deposits can be removed by your dentist during your regular teeth cleaning (every 3-6 months).

Congratulations to Dr. Thea Katrina Peralta-Estebar for a successful lecture last May 9 during the 114th Philippine Dental Association Convention at SMX Convention Center, MOA Complex, Pasay (May 9-13, 2023). 🎉🎉🎉
