Bakit may mga tao na hindi mabilis masiraan ng teeth?

Hi, this is just a question out of curiosity.

Context:

I grew up poor and kasama mga pinsan ko, and may mga times in the past na nasa depressive episode ako, so meaning 1x a day lang ako nakakatoothbrush tapos mabilis lang at alam mong hindi nakakalinis, netong 20s ko nalang natutunan na dapat 2 minutes yon. Minsan pag mas malala, lumilipas ang araw na hindi ako nagtutoothbrush. May mga times na pag kumakain kami ng candy, inom tubig lang ginagawa ko samantalang sila magsisipilyo. Sa toothbrush routine din namin noon, may mga oras na MIA ako. Sila consistent and matagal sila magtoothbrush.

Ngayon, pansin ko mas madami silang cases na bulok na ngipin at minsan nagiging usapan namin na sungki ang ngipin ko noon pero ako ang hindi nasiraan ng ngipin compared sa kanila na maganda ang tubo pero nagkakaissue sa molar. Nagsimula agad ang dental issues na yun nung pre-teens kami, at nung 20s na kami at afford na namin ang dentist, may mga pinsan pa ako na kelangan ng root canal, pasta, o kaya bunot ng bulok na molars.

Sa akin naman, impacted wisdom teeth lang ang naging issue ko.

Bakit po kaya ganun? Is it the diet? Vices? This is a genuine question.

DENTIST = FREAK

This bastard is a fucking creep. Hindi lang siya nag-aayos ng ngipin ng patients, trabaho na rin niya maging manyak. Imagine iffollow ka niya or add sa socials mo, then sa unang chat ay goods pa dahil mukhang nangangamusta lang. Lalo na yang si Led Factoriza, while conversing with him ay biglang sinabi na, "baka magalit o magselos bf mo" at "pwede ba vc tayo are you fucking serious, Doc?! Bigyan kitang highlight, since mukhang gusto mo rin naman. Natigas na ba burat mo sa konting kita ng balat? Kung mababasa mo man 'to, tangina, nakakadiri ka. Baka nga may iba pa jan na chinachat at minamanyak mo, nagpost ng picture magchachat o reply ka na agad? Akala ko ngipin lang sinisilip o inaayos mo, pati na rin pala social media at picture ng mga patient mo? Ibang klase rin tibay ng mukha mo ha, I'll give you the trophy "The Manyak Doctor" and may clinic ka nga pala somewhere no? Well, good luck sa putanginang clinic mo, sana tumama burat mo sa kanto ng lamesa.

pasta

hi, i just want to ask. normal ba yung range na 1500-2500 for pasta? sa dental clinic ko kasi they charge 1500-2500 sa pasta and sobrang liit lang naman ng papastahan. honestly ang gastos niya and nakakasama ng loob na antaas ng babayaran while sa iba 800 ang starting ng pasta and bihira ako makarinig na umaabot ng 2500. hindi pa kasama cleaning every adjustment ng braces ko

insecurities of having cavities

Hello! this is my teeth, i know it has a lot of cavities gusto ko man ipaayos kaso kapos talaga sa budget nag try din ako magpa-consult but it costs 80,000 pesos para maayos yung ngipin ko. I'm just a student hindi ko alam kung saan kukuha ng ganon kalaki na pera. i ask my parents about it naman but ayaw nila kasi wala pa daw pera. I'm so insecure ever since g6 palang ako nag s-suffer na'ko sa gan'to. please don't judge me guys i know i have a poor hygiene back then :)) i know some of you will suggest na may mga dental students na nag o-offer ng free fillings or pasta but dito kasi sa city namin walang ganon. walang mga dental students. yes we have dental clinics pero napaka expensive nya. lumapit rin ako sa mga office here sa city namin to ask help pero wala hindi ako Inentertain. I don't know na iinsecure na ako sobra. mag c-college na'ko this year so I'm really scared na mabully or masabihan na sira yung ngipin ko nakakawala ng confidence :))

Dry socket po ba to?

24 hrs after tooth extraction, Sobrang sakit pa rin at hindi nag decrease ang sakit. Di rin tumatalab ang pain killer, Iniiyak ko na lang yung sakit. Hindi ako nanigarilyo, uminom ng alak o.kahit ano pang bawal.

I'm getting braces soon (just got my tooth pulled out) and I'm wondering if I can still keep my sungki potruding a little bit for cosmetic purposes?

So meron akong sungki but it is like super forward and sabi ni mama ko I'll get braces so maayos siya. I also don't like it that much but I like it when I smile, cause it fits my smile, like a cat smile. Now with braces I'm afraid the sungki won't be visible when I smile now... it's okay if it won't be seen, though a part of me wants to keep it seen.

what I mean is like the attached image :)) (photo not mine)

How many canals does a premolar have?

To be specific, first lower premolar (beside canine). I'm inquiring sa mga clinics around me and they said it should be 1-2 canals for that specific tooth. Nabigla ako nung may nag sabi na it can reach 3 pa daw.

How rare ba na more than 1 yung canal ng first lower premolar ko?

LF FREE DENTAL SERVICE

I know sobrang ano ng title ko, pero desperado na kasi ako at gusto ko na masimulan ang problema ko sa ngipin ko. Baka lang naman may mga students dyan na need ng aayusan or may alam kayo aside sa city na nag offer ng free service, bunot/pasta/ or even dentures.

SAHM kasi, and super mahal rin ng dental services sa na hind ko alam pano at san sisimulan.

nervous about heavy tartar and localized pain/pressure. how bad does It look?

Hi everyone, I’ve neglected professional cleanings for a long time and I’m now very anxious about the state of my teeth. I have a dentist appointment this Tuesday, but I’d appreciate some insight on these photos. Photos 1 & 2: Can this amount of tartar be removed with a standard cleaning? Photo 3&4: This tooth has been hurting for a few days. I feel a sense of pressure in my cheek in that area, and I noticed a small dot under the tooth. Is the cheek pressure a red flag for an infection/abscess, or just severe inflammation? I'm worried it might be serious. Thanks!

Will this ever be fixed po?

I've been on braces since 2024 and so far nawala na yung sungki but today I tried those cameras whether it showed you how others see you in their perspective and I became super insecure talaga when I saw how crooked my upper teeths were. Maayos pa po ba ito? Do I have to adjust my jaw para maging pantay yung chin ko sa face ko
