worry not info 👌

Most people panic when a tooth slips down the throat, but the body reacts with automatic precision. The airway seals, the tongue pushes back, and the throat muscles guide the tooth smoothly into the food pipe within seconds, just like any harmless object.

In the stomach, nothing dramatic happens. Even strong acid cannot break down enamel, so the tooth simply rests there like a tiny stone. When the stomach is ready, it quietly releases the tooth into the small intestine without causing discomfort.

The small intestine carries the tooth on a gentle conveyor belt of muscular waves. It doesn’t dissolve or get absorbed; it just travels effortlessly along the winding tube. By the time it reaches the large intestine, most of the journey is already done.

The large intestine moves slower, focused on absorbing water and forming stool. The tooth blends into that process and continues forward unnoticed. After a day or two, it reaches the re**um and is expelled naturally during a normal bowel movement.

Only broken, sharp, or metal-attached teeth change this calm journey. Pain, vomiting, or blood in the stool are red flags. But for a smooth intact tooth, the digestive system knows exactly what to do, and it completes the job quietly.

“Wala pa namang masakit, di muna ako pupunta sa dentista.”
“Wala pa namang butas, okay pa ’yan.”

Pero… are you sure? Kasi ang cavities, parang ninja, tahimik pero deadly. ‘Di agad nagpaparamdam… tapos booogsh! Malalim na pala sa ilalim.

Wag hintayin na magtampo ang ngipin mo bago ka magpatingin. Mas masaya ang check-up kaysa bunot, promise. 😅

friday reminder..
magpatingin sa dentista, huwag antaying sumakit dahil baka huli na. Hindi rin lahat ng pagkakataon may second chance 🙃

🔴 Un joven de 24 años murió en Saltillo tras desarrollar una infección en una muela que se complicó gravemente. Aunque tomaba antibióticos, el dolor persistía y poco después su cuello comenzó a inflamarse.

En un inicio, su familia creyó que se trataba de paperas, pero al acudir al hospital, su estado de salud obligó a que fuera ingresado de inmediato. Los médicos descubrieron que la infección se había extendido a la garganta y, a pesar de operarlo, el daño ya era severo en varias partes del cuerpo.

Tras varios días hospitalizado, el joven falleció. Su caso ha generado preocupación por los riesgos de las infecciones dentales no tratadas, que pueden volverse mortales si no se atienden a tiempo.

open bite case 🫣

28/06/2025

Many parents give their babies a bottle of milk at bedtime to help them fall asleep. While this may seem harmless, it can quietly harm your child’s teeth. When a baby falls asleep with milk in their mouth, the natural sugars in milk stay on the teeth for long periods. During sleep, saliva flow reduces, making it harder for the mouth to wash away these sugars.

This creates a perfect environment for bacteria to grow. The bacteria feed on the sugars and produce acid that attacks the tooth enamel. Over time, this leads to early tooth decay — especially in the upper front teeth — even if your child is very young or still has only baby teeth.

This kind of decay is known as nursing bottle caries. It can cause pain, infection, and even problems with speech or eating later on. That’s why it's important to avoid putting your child to bed with a bottle, and to clean their teeth or gums before sleep, even if they only have a few teeth. Early prevention protects their smile for life.

“Cavities don’t hurt… until it’s too late.”

In their early stages, dental caries (cavities) silently erode the enamel—the outer protective layer of the tooth—without causing any pain. This is because enamel has no nerves. By the time a cavity reaches the dentin or the pulp, where nerves and blood vessels reside, symptoms like sensitivity and pain begin. At this point, the damage is often extensive and may require invasive treatment like root canal therapy.

Don’t wait for pain. Early detection through regular dental check-ups is the only way to stop cavities before they become serious.
