My Painful Lesson: Don’t Wait! I avoided the dentist until my cheek worsen and swelled
Holy Week and long holidays are a time for feasting—lechon, chocolates, and sticky kakanin. But for many, the celebration ends with a sharp toothache. As a 17-year-old from Manila, I ignored the pain until it became unbearable. Turns out, leftover food debris caused an infection, and I wasn’t alone—dental clinics across Luzon were fully booked!
