basta pedia dentist mahal kasi specialized siya. sa lourdes
hospital sa sta. mesa manila may ilang pedia dentist dun. pero sa pedia ng
anak mo ask if meron siya recommendado na pedia dentist ksi kailangan ng
pedia approval kung meron procedure na gagawain.

kuwento ko lang...kasi anak ko meron cavities sa 2 front teeth niya, sabi ng
pedia dentist, e, very early stage, kaso meron stain kaya parang maitim in
between nung 2 teeth. gusto gawain ay try ilang sessions kung kaya
unti-untiin at baka pumayag magpa pasta anak ko, e, nakakatakot yung sound
ng drill ano! so advice ng pedia dentist ay sedate. e, ako naman ang natakot
sa procedure kasi sa anus idaraan ang sedation tapos ilang hours na ma-woozy
feeling ang bata. tapos libo-libo ang cost kasi iba bayad ng
anaesthisiologist sa pedia dentist at per tooth pa ng pastahan ang singil.
anyway, against ang asawa ko sa procedure at reason niya na baby teeth pa
lang naman at hindi pa permanent, so kahit pastahan, e, matatangal din naman
ang ngipin.

nag-usap din kami pedia, at open naman siya sa procedure, kaso tinignan din
ngipin ng anak ko at sa personal opinion niya ay since hindi naman daw
nagrereklamo anak ko na masakit, at alagaan lang sa flouride toothpaste at
flossing, since tutoo naman na hindi pa nga permanent ang ngipin.

so balik kami sa pedia dentist at sinabi ko nga na hindi kami magpapa-sedate,
ano pa ba puwede gawain sa teeth para hindi lumala ang cavity. ayun at
cleaning na lang at pinahiran ng flouride gel na pang protect daw ng teeth.


so sa ngayon kahit andun pa rin cavity, e, hindi naman lumalala kasi alaga
sa toothbrush, floss at minimized candy eating, at drinking lots of water.

Yung cousin-in-law ko lady dentist... although alaga naman sa
toothbrush yung anak nya, nasira pa rin maaga yung teeth nya - siguro around
5 years old. Naupod actually...

Ang ginawa nung CIL ko, nilagyan nya ng temporary bridge, para lang hindi
maka-affect sa eating and talking yung pagkawala ng 4 front teeth. Nung
nakita nyang patubo na yung permanent teeth, tinanggal na nya yung temp
bridge!

Bayan ni Juan mytitagirl, I would have done the same thing
under the circumstances. Who'd want their kid to be sedated for something so
very far from being life-threatening.

Basta ang gawin na lang ngayon, siguraduhing di na mabubulok ang ibang
ngipin. Don't let baby sleep with bottle in mouth, that's the one of the
best things you can do. Also, when baby eats something sweet or starchy that
tends to cling to the teeth like bread or even a banana, make sure she
drinks enough water to wash away as much of the stuff as possible, or make
her eat something else non-sweet which will take the sweet stuff out just as
well.

Quezon to be honest, i only found out this year there's such
a thing. is it necessary? couldn't the regular pedia visit root out any
problems?

Clinic:My mom's a pediatrician (physician). Yes, a
pediatrician can tell if a child has cavities or not. If she finds problems
in the mouth, she refers the kid to a pediatric dentist or a general dentist
for dental treatment.

Pediatric dentists are really better at handling kids when compared to the
rest of us dentists.

Similar to orthodontists, pediatric dentists have undergone specialty
training after passing the dental boards. We usually referd kids with
unmanageable behavior problems to them, as behavior problems are their
specialty. They also treat special children ( Down's Syndrome, Cerebral
Palsy, Epilepsy, Autism, etc.).

They also treat "regular kids" and are very good at doing so, armed with the
latest techniques that will hopefully keep kid's teeth cavity free.

I brought my 2 yr old daughter to the dental clinic at podium
(Lower ground level). So far everything went very well coz concern namin
that the first visit to the dentist shouldn't be traumatic. The consultation
fee is P300. They did a cleaning on her teeth whch cost P100 but we were
given a discount so we paid P360 total.

Our kids used to see Mildred Parks, DDM. Her clinic was in
Makati (Mile Long). I don't know if she's still there, though. You might try
looking her up. KuyaDanny
