My Painful Lesson: Don’t Wait!

“Huwag mong hintayin na lumala pa!”

Naaalala ko pa talaga 'yung araw na 'yon.

It started with a simple toothache.
Parang konting kirot lang when I eat sweet food or drink cold water.
Sabi ko sa sarili ko, “Ah, baka napuyat lang ako.”
So I ignored it.

A week passed.
Medyo sumasakit na talaga.
Pero I told myself, “Kaya pa ‘to. Busy pa ako. Next time na lang ako magpacheck-up.”

Then came the worst part.
Pagising ko isang umaga, masakit na yung panga ko.
When I looked in the mirror…
NAMAMAGA NA YUNG PISNGI KO!
I was shocked. Halos hindi ko na maigalaw ang bibig ko. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep.

Napilitan na akong magpunta sa Smile360 Dental Center.

Pagdating ko doon, the dentist told me,
“Kung napa-check mo ito earlier, we could’ve stopped it with a simple treatment.
Now, we’ll have to do more work to save your tooth and stop the infection.”

Masakit sa bulsa. Masakit sa katawan. At masakit isipin na ako rin ang may kasalanan.

That day, I learned my lesson the hard way.

 “Kung may nararamdaman ka na, huwag nang hintayin lumala.”

Now I go to the clinic every 4 to 6 months.
Minsan kahit wala akong nararamdaman, I go for a check-up.
