The Lechon Locker: A Cebuano Dental Drama

Fiesta sa amoang lungsod! The streets were alive with music, dancing, and the irresistible aroma of lechon. As a true Cebuano, wa ko kapugong—I grabbed a plate piled high with crispy skin and tender meat. "Lami kaayo!" I exclaimed, not knowing this lechon would haunt my teeth for five days.
Day 1: The Feast
I devoured my lechon like a man possessed. "Balik pa ko'g kuha!" I told my Tito Boy. The skin was crunchy, the meat juicy, and the flavor—perfection. Little did I know, a sneaky piece of pork had lodged itself DEEP between my molars.
Day 2: The First Warning
"Uy, baho imong ginhawa!" my best friend Junjun teased.
"Ha? Dili man!" I insisted, brushing my teeth extra hard. But the smell wouldn’t leave.
Day 3: The Desperate Measures
I tried everything:
✔ Toothpick – Failed.
✔ Floss – Too weak.
✔ Mouthwash – Temporary fix.
✔ Garlic (ironically) – Made it worse.
"Ngano man ni?!" I groaned. I could still taste lechon—but not in a good way.
Day 4: The Shame
My crush, Marian, leaned in to whisper something… then suddenly stepped back.
"Ay, sorry…" she said, covering her nose slightly.
MY LIFE WAS OVER.
Day 5: The Discovery
Finally, in front of the mirror, I saw it. A tiny but deadly piece of lechon, hidden like a spy in my gums. After surgical-level picking, IT CAME OUT.
The smell? Imagine 5-day-old fiesta leftovers.
The Lesson Learned
✔ Lechon is life… but it can also ruin your life.
✔ Flossing is NON-NEGOTIABLE.
✔ If your breath still stinks after brushing? SUSPECT A MEAT TRAP.
