Periodontal disease is inflammation and infection of your gums and the bone that supports your teeth. It can be a result of poor hygiene, but some people are more prone to this type of infection. Symptoms may include bad breath, loose teeth and bleeding, swollen gums.

It’s Back to School Time: Don’t forget a Dental Check up!
Why it’s important?
It Prevents the Formation of Cavities and Tooth Decay. Everyone, especially children, are prone to cavities and tooth decay. Having a proper oral hygiene routine combined with a regular dental checkup can help you catch the problem at an early stage and prevent it from worsening.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T REPLACE A MISSING TOOTH?

The opposing upper tooth migrates downwards. This migration is not healthy and can damage the surrounding gums and bone. The way we bite depends on the position of our teeth. Teeth are important for chewing and if they are lost, the way you bite changes.

Once the braces come off, nothing is keeping your teeth from moving back to their previous position. Wearing a retainer helps keep your teeth in the correct place, so they don't move. Think of it this way: Braces straighten your teeth, but your retainer keeps them that way. They help your teeth “retain” their position.

Odontogenic cysts visual presentation

An odontogenic cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops in the jaw bone over a tooth that hasn't erupted yet. The cysts, in most cases, affect the molars or canines, and they're second in prevalence after periapical cysts. These are cystic lesions that result from an infection in a tooth.

When do you need Oral Prophylaxis?

Prophylaxis is recommended twice annually as a preventative measure, but should be performed every 3-4 months on periodontitis sufferers. Though gum disease cannot be completely reversed, prophylaxis is one of the tools the dentist can use to effectively halt its destructive progress.

April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month.

Oral cancer is cancer that affects your mouth. It can develop on any tissue, including your gums, tongue, or lips. Early detection and treatment significantly improve outcomes.

How to Prepare for a Tooth Extraction

Before your procedure, it is important to share your medical history. You should be comprehensive and not leave any details out.

Paalala mula sa Philippine Dental Association - San Pedro City Chapter

No to Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Braces!
Huwag kumonsulta sa mga Pekeng Dentista at siguruhing ang inyong dentista ay lisensyado at lehitimo.

Gum disease is caused by excessive plaque formation. We all develop plaque buildup, even with good brushing and flossing habits. This is why regular dental checkups are so important! Dental cleanings every six months clear away plaque that unavoidably starts to build up under the gum line and harden to form tartar, or calculus.

Dental care tips for healthier teeth 🦷😊👍🏻✅

The notorious Wisdom.

In many people, wisdom teeth are unable to grow in normally. The teeth either become stuck under the gum or are only able to partially break through the gum. Dentists call these teeth impacted. Wisdom teeth usually become impacted because the jaw doesn't have enough space for all the teeth that are growing in, or because the tooth comes in at the wrong angle and bumps into the tooth in front of it.

Impacted wisdom teeth are fairly common. Although some people never have any trouble with them, impacted wisdom teeth can cause problems. An impacted wisdom tooth can sometimes trap food, plaque, and other debris in the soft tissue around it, leading to swelling, gum tenderness, cavities, and bad breath.

Because they may damage other teeth — or cause pain or infection — dentists or oral surgeons often remove impacted wisdom teeth.

Most people probably grind and clench their teeth from time to time. Occasional teeth grinding, medically called bruxism, does not usually cause harm, but when teeth grinding occurs on a regular basis the teeth can be damaged and other oral health complications can arise.

How to handle an Avulsed tooth/when a tooth is completely dislodged from its socket?

We get one set of permanent teeth and if we lose them, they can only be replaced with temporary, although durable, restorations. The three main options for tooth replacement are dentures, dental bridges, and dental implants.
