The Lechon Locker: A Cebuano Dental Drama

Language : 

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:
ToothpickFailed.
FlossToo weak.
MouthwashTemporary 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.
