๐ฆท Why Even the Best Dental Treatments Canโt Beat Your Natural Tooth
Not long ago, a patient asked us,
โDoc, bakit bumalik โyung sakit kahit na-root canal na dati?โ
A very valid question โ and totoo, nangyayari talaga โyan minsan.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐๐๐ต ๐ถ๐, ๐ป๐ผ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฌ% ๐ด๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ โ not root canals, not veneers, not bridges, not even implants.
Hereโs why ๐
๐Iba-iba ang bawat ngipin.
May kanya-kanyang hugis at structure ang bawat tooth. Minsan, may hidden or curved canals na kahit advanced equipment, hirap maabot perfectly.
๐The body has its own way of healing.
Kahit perfect ang pagkakagawa at pagkaka-execute ng treatment, depende pa rin sa katawan mo kung paano siya magre-react at mag a-adapt โ lifestyle, oral hygiene, at even stress can affect healing.
๐Restorations are man-made.
Gawa ng tao ang crowns, veneers, at bridges โ maganda, functional, at natural-looking, ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ผ ๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ ๐ฝ๐ฎ ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐น๐ฎ ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น. Over time, pwedeng mag-loosen, masira, or kailangan palitan.
Thatโs why we always remind our patients:
โจ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ง๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ฅ ๐ญ๐จ๐จ๐ญ๐ก ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ๐จ๐ญ๐ก ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐. ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐ง ๐ฆ๐จ.
Once a natural tooth is compromised, dentistry can restore its function and appearance โ but it will never fully match the strength, sensitivity, and resilience of the one you were born with.
Kaya habang maaga pa, alagaan mo na ang ngipin mo.
Brush properly, floss daily, watch what you eat, and visit your dentist regularly.
Because at the end of the day, prevention will always be better (and easier) than restoration. ๐
