  • Doc tatanong lang ako ilang beses ba dapat mag tootbrush kada isang araw.

    Sabi kasi ng lolo ko once a day lang. 86 na sya now pero buo parin ngipin nya. Sinunod ko yun at isang wisdom tooth palang nawawala sakin. Mama ko sabi 3 times a day pero 4 ipin na nya ang nabubunot.
  • tanong lang po kung magkano usually ung pag remove ng nakatagong wisdom tooth. thanks in advance!
  • Bakit ako walang wisdom tooth?

    On average, approximately 35 percent of people never develop wisdom teeth. This is highly dependent on ethnicity; nearly 100 percent of indigenous Mexican people, for example, never develop third molars, while almost 100 percent of indigenous Bantu people of Angola do develop them.

  • ^^^ possible reason one is gender... nanganak nanay mo.bumababa ang calcium level nya during conception or growth ng baby sa loob ng tummy nya. making her tooth week and prone to cavity leading to loss. minsan nasa taon narin kung iisipin mo.hindi pareparehas ang health natin.kahit kambal pa yan magkaiba acidity level ng laway or merely pawis nila.
  • Odontectomy or wisdom tooth removal cost 5,500-7,500 dito sa clinic ko.libre cleaning and kiss sa ibang patient ko.lol
  • sir gapboy, pag impacted tooth, ganyan din po presyohan niyo?
  • ganyan talaga presyo pag impacted tooth ang gagalawin. depende sa classifiction kaya may range ang price.
  • @gapboy69

    Pwedeng magtanong kung magkano(rate)na magpapasta using light cure ngayon?
    Ng pumunta kasi ako ng dentist last Sat ay P700 sa regular size at P800 sa malaking butas.

    How much root canal sa bagang sa lower part ng ngipin plus pa crown?
    P13.5K quote sa akin, okay na ang price?

    sa akin 500/tooth.big or small. basta per ngipin na singil ko

    rct...di na ako gumagawa for several reasons. price range depende talaga sa gumagawa.
  • @thehype_26
    thanks for the old issue regarding mercury content but it was already confirmed that with such small amount of mercury added to the dental filling. it can not be that dominant causing such claims.

    so having amalgam fillings will be ok. as for my practice i don't really use or do it for esthetic reasons.

    Cheers!
  • @gapboy69

    So doc, what is the best option kung ayaw mong pabunot ang ngipin mo na sira specially kung ayaw mong ipapustiso?
    Can you give one reason kung bakit ayaw niyo na mag rct?
  • Caps or build up.depende sa laki ng sira if retainable pa ang ngipin talaga.
    You can set an appt.for detailed explanation if u are that curious with my reason/s.
    Thanks.
  • Doc.

    Meron akong Jacket sa harap ng teeth ko (1pc) Mag 9 yrs na siya and since napapansin ko nagkakaroon ng black part sa my gilagid, optional bang palitan? or any other na pwedeng gawin? balak ko sanang palitan para sa akin. Pero tatakot ako lol , peeling ko kinapitan na siya nung ugat ko sa gila-gilagid. Many Very Thank you Much.!
  • ^papalitan mo na soonest sa dentist mo para hindi lumala. Will cost aroung 6-7k depende sa laki ng ilalagay na porcelain cap
  • May wisdom tooth ako na lumabas na (I think 50% nakalabas na siya at may ilalabas pa).

    Question: May times na "tender" siya meaning pag nag chew ako sa side na yun may discomfort or tenderness feeling (but not sharp pain or toothache talaga) and i cant say if it is the gums or the wisdom tooth talaga. Minsan lang siya "tender" and madalas okay naman siya, on and off lang.

    Should I have this removed? Kailangan ko ba aksyunan agad ito?

    If ipapaalis yun ganitong wisdom tooth na partially erupted, magkano kaya damage?
  • ^ mahirap magbigay ng comment dahil di ako dentista so for sure, hingi ka advise sakanila.

    Pero on my exp. grabe nag sungki nanaman ipin ko sa baba dahil dyan sa wisdom tooth.
  • ^

    Nag braces ako for almost 7 years and hindi na fully correct yung sungki ko. Gave up on the idea na maayos pa siya, aalagaan ko nalang teeth ko.

    With that almost 7 years na with braces, nasira madaming tooth ko (undergone RCT and numerous pasta) kaya ayaw ko na din.
  • ^ i feel you bro. 6 years naman ako., Kaso nung nalate bloom ang wisdom tooth ko ayun napansin ko na lang, umurung nanaman ipin ko.

    Naalala ko nasabi ng nanay ko dati, ako na daw bahala sa wisdom ko pag tumubo kasi tiyak may work nako lol....

    So yun na nga, may work na ko nung tumubo sya
  • Wisdom tooth kung hindi fully erupted needs to be removed to elimate discomfort n future problem.
    Range from 5,500 to 7,500 amg price nito each surgery
  • Braces treatment probably mali ginamit sayo na brackets kaya hinde nacorrect ng tama. Maraming reasons kung bakit tumatagal ang treatment.
  • question po. normal lang po ba na sumakit yung ngipin na na-root canal few days after ng session? 1st session. next session will be this week. thanks.
  • Tanong ko po, halimbawa nag kasira yung ngipin nyo, yung may itim na.. ilang years po ba aabutin bago umabot sa root canal? may impacted tooth daw ako, may sira, tas tinanung kung nasakit, sabi ko naman dipa, ingatan daw yun.. nag oofw pa naman ako kaya pag binunut daw yun bawal bumiyahe at 2 weeks na pahinga..tama po ba sabi?
  • ^^ Matagal na ako di nag RCT... just wait for the 2nd session and informn ur dentist about this. It takes several treatment sometimes lalo na kung may history ng infection/swelling/etc. Just cooperate and follow dentist advise n not to worry too much.minsan psychological effect kaya may nararamdaman pa patient on this procedure.pag pasaway talagang nagkakaproblema.
  • ^ it will depend on several cases on how progressive ang pagsira ng ngipin nyo. Acidity ng laway, hygiene, type of food u eat...etc etc. Why wait na lumalala kung alam mo na may sira. Besides, it can cause badbreath kung hahayaan mo may bulok na ngipin(small or big) lalo na kung marami na sila. Its ur choice parin what to do.kami we reco n do whats best pero minsan nasa patiente nari ang negligence.
    Goodluck.
  • ^

    May reflux ako so mas prone masira ngipin ko, helpful ba yung toothpaste na may acid-sugar neutralizer from Colgate? Bought one so far so good naman and using it for 2 weeks already.
  • @gapboy69

    Ok doc. Sabihin ko na lang po sa dentist. Thanks.
  • Dapat bang ipatanggal yung wisdom tooth (impacted) kahit di naman sumasakit? If so, urgent ba?
  • mga doc paps,

    is it ok kung maiwan ko lang yung wisdom tooth ko hanggang pagtanda?
    nasira na niya tuluyan ung last molar ko (both sides),
    pero I don't find anything wrong with my current wisdom tooth kahit nakatagilid siya..

    or kelangan pa ba siyang ipa alis pa rin kahit malaki na ang space dahil wala ng molars?
  • @gapboy69

    Doc, question po.

    I know it's case to case pa rin pag sa price, pero magpapa-brace sana ko; though wala na kong contact sa previous dentist ko and mejo pricey dito sa BGC/Taguig area. Magkano price range po sayo, doc? From x-ray to braces and stuff po. Thank you.
