Mga doc, may tanong po ako. Tama ba na binara ko to? Na masama na di gumamit ng fluoride at wag makinig sa mga random strangers sa FB kahit may studies pa silang hinugot?

This is from one of those spiritual FB groups na naging controversial (taas kamay sa mga alam yung 5k worth na pen haha). I swear. Andaming utu-uto rito sa group na to and mejo may kulto vibes na. Antoxic din ng ibang comments dito na nagdedefend kahit na thank me later lang sinabi haha andami nakuha agad ang loob.

Gets naman na may studies pero inconclusive yung nakakaaffect sa pineal gland yung fluoride. Pineal gland kasi is important daw in heightening the intuition. And this group being a spiritual group, andami ritong kumakagat agad na di naman sure kung fact na ba.

Di naman ako dentista pero inadvise ako kasi ng dentista ko before na importante ang fluoride para di mabulok agad yung ngipin kaya wag dapat magmumog ng tubig daw at ispit na lang yung toothpaste.

Kaya nananawagan po ako sa mga dentista rito to confirm if safe ba na tanggalin ang fluoride sa toothpaste. I am open to being corrected by a professional if ever mali ako.

Umiiyak akong lumabas sa clinic hanggang sa byahe. Magkano pasta sa experience nyo?

45 Upvotes

Hanggang byahe umiiyak ako, naawa yung guard at tinanong kung ok lng ba ako. Galing ako sa clinic and inexplain ng doctor yung mga gagawing tooth restoration sa ngipin ko. With xray na rin yun. May 3 doon na magkakatabi na need gawin sabay sabay kasi kapag iniwan yung isa, mahahawaan pa rin ng cavities. 8mm yung lalim ng sira and 1,500 pesos daw per 2mm so sa isang ngipin aabutin ng 7.5k +yung katabing ngipin, all in all aabutin ng 12k. Nagbraces ako twice and nagsisisi ako na hindi ko naalagaan ang mga ngipin ko. Halos lahat ng ngipin ko need i-pasta. Then, yung isa possible rct -8k per root pa yun. Naiiyak na ako😭

Hindi tinuloy yung appointment ko for cleaning due to my Prep pills (against HIV)

33 Upvotes

Something is bothering me and I need a answer if tama ba haha, sorry this is all kinda new. As the title says, it happened yesterday,. I actually disclosed that I am taking PrEP against HIV. But dentist told me that "their" facility is not capable of handling my teeth cleaning and instead nag suggest sila that I ask other dentist(s) to clean my teeth in a more "Contained" setting a.k.a ( like in a hospital). They proceeded to tell me that their suction tool daw is not ideal for my case, further adding that they need the approval from other General Physian.

After leaving, I asked him if this is due to my to Pills, and he said answered "partially" yes. Tas proceeded to tell me that maybe may reason "daw" why am I taking this pills. Nevertheless I got hurt after his last statement and umuwi nalang

I just want to ask, is his statement valid? I never expected for this to happened at all.

Thank you!.

Pasta

Hello. Natanggal yung pasta ng ngipin ko sa lower molar na kakagawa lang last week. Sabi ng dentist, mabilis daw talaga matipak mga pasta ngayon kaya super ingat ako sa pagkain. Kanin pa lang nginuya ko kanina biglang may natipak. Akala ko may bigas pa sa nakain ko, i checked it then yung pasta pala. Im planning to visit my dentist after 2 weeks pa dahil busy. Okay lang po ba yun? And ganito ba talaga mga pasta ngayon, mabilis na matanggal? Any dentist recommendation around north fairview na okay magpasta?

Kulang kulang 50k po kasi ang max price niya for my tooth. May alam po ba kayong clinic na mas mura na kaya ng student? Huhu di ko na po kasi kaya yung sakit ng ngipin ko po. Salamat po!

Root Canal Advice

1 Upvotes

Would like to ask if ok lang ba na ibang dentist na yung tumapos nung root canal?

Last year, my dentist did root canal treatment sa 3 kong ngipin. We did one tooth at a time. Before moving to another tooth, I already asked na i-close na bcos he said ok naman na din but he insisted na wag na muna. Idk how many times he tried delaying yung sa first tooth. Then after few months, he and another dentist is offering another treatment plan (fixing the crown ganyan). The first treatment plan na napag agreehan was just root canal.

He kept on insisting na wag muna i-close kasi mahihirapan daw if they’ll fix the crown but super mahal nung 2nd treatment plan like aabot ng 150k for crown restoration. Already spent 70k-80k sa root canal for 3 teeth and hindi pa din siya naclose bcos they kept on insisting na i-avail ko yung other treatment plan. If icclose daw it’ll ba around 8k per canal (surprised sa presyo kasi wala to sa nirelay before na presyo)

Any advice on this please.

Root Canal can cause Cancer??.

3 Upvotes

Please enlighten me. Since for root canal ako, nasira cause of wisdom tooth na due for surgery na din, nagsesearch ako lately process. Then may nga nakikita ako na foreign dentist explaining ng mga cons. of having Root Canal. There’s one Dr. pa nga na nagsabi majority ng pasyente nya may breast cancer had root canal. Others naman nagkocause sya ng bacteria build up which can lead to worse problems. I’m honestly scared.

My Case: Looks good from outside, until sumakit and found out na my for surgery akong wisdom. Note TWICE akong nag braces. Kahit isa sa dentist ko walang nagsabi sakin na may erupting wisdom teeth ako. Left & right.

Lastly, Tama po ba na Root Canal muna before surgery? Other dentist na nakausap ko, sabay sabay daw gagawin. Both left and right to.

Thanks po

Bakit ganun yung Pasta sa YT?

1 Upvotes

Bakit ganun, yung mga dentist sa ibang bansa nag aapply ng Topical at Anesthesia before doing a "pasta" tapos dito sa atin mostly endure the ngilo lang. Huhu.

Pede ba ako magrequest ng anesthesia para smooth ang experience bukas? May anxiety at phonia na kase ako sa dental procedure ng pasta. 😭

Fyi, ang on/off ng sakit ng ngipin ko and according sa xray need daw pastahan.

Need advice

2 Upvotes

Hi, I tend to overthink and over complicate things but can you possibly help me decide by giving a sensible advice.

Here's my case:

My front tooth has been aching and throbbing for days. upon doing an xray, it showed that the infection is situated in between my front and lateral tooth. However, after 7 days in antibiotics, it got worse and much more harder to determine. So my dentist gave me 2 options:

Option 1: New set of Antiobiotics + proceed on doing root canal on the front tooth. If infection still persists, they will do root canal on my lateral tooth.

Cons: what if its not the front tooth? I might end up having root canal on my 2 teeth.

Option 2: Root Canal after 7 days antibiotics treatment. Cons: • Im worried more on the timeline considering that holy week will come in between my first session (temporary filling) and second session (final). What if the temporary filling accidentally removed during those holidays. • continued aching • what if i am just wasting time. what are the probability that the infection will be localized

Can Invisalign braces (not sure the brand) fix my overbite or lower jaw? See photos

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

Please don't dox me if you recognize me haha.

Maliit po yung lower jaw ko at may overbite ako.

Mag 2 years na braces ko pero hindi ko pinapabunot yung magkabilang pre molars ko kahit highly recommend ng orthodontist ko para umurong yung ngipin sa upper. Para sakin kasi sayang yung ngipin at baka mag-iba hitsura ko. Sabi ng ibang dentist possible na maging flat hitsura ng side profile ko 😞

Nagpa 2nd opinion ako sa isang orthognatic surgeon na gumagawa ng jaw surgery. Syempre mahal ito, possible umabot ng half million ang price at may risk of complications like damage sa nerves ko surrounding the jaw. At yung healing process pa. Sobrang mahal na, may health risks pa so parang hindi worth it...

Sabi din nung doctor na pwede pa daw maayos ito ng invisalign (ibang brand, pero ganun na nga hitsura nung treatment). Siguro hindi yung jaw pero para magpantay lang yung upper and lower (bite)? Not sure kung totoo kasi nagresearch nako at double jaw surgery lang daw magpapantay sa jaws and teeth ko.

What do you think?
