Short Story: A Day in Valencia City

Every morning, Juan steps out of his home in Bukidnon’s Valencia City, lights up a cigarette, and heads to work. Over time, what began as a quick smoke before breakfast turned into a pack a day habit. He didn’t notice the yellowing of his teeth at first, but soon his gums started to ache—sensitive to hot coffee and prone to bleeding when he brushed.

One afternoon, Juan felt a sharp twinge on his lower molar. He shrugged it off as “just a cavity,” promising himself he would deal with it later. Days passed. The pain grew into a constant ache that kept him awake at night. What once could have been a simple filling now required a root canal—and a much larger bill.

When Minor Problems Become Major Expenses

• Early warning signs—such as slight discoloration, occasional sensitivity, or minor gum irritation—are your mouth’s way of asking for help.

• Ignoring those signs allows decay and infection to spread, turning a PHP 1,500 filling into a PHP 10,000+ root canal and crown.

• Delayed treatment can even lead to tooth loss, periodontal surgery, or bone grafts—procedures that take more time, cost more money, and require longer recovery.

Expert Advice from Dr. Mabatid

“Never wait until everything is too late. Your teeth and gums send clear signals when they need attention. Acting promptly not only saves you money—it preserves your natural smile.”

• Routine check‑ups catch small issues before they escalate.

• Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that you can’t eliminate at home.

• Personalized treatment plans keep your smile strong and healthy for life.
