Being a mom and being a dentist have A LOT in common 😂

Mostly lovingly reminding people to do things they already know they should be doing

But just in case you’re wondering WHY I keep nagging you…

🦷 Brush + floss before bed
If you only brush once, make it nighttime. Saliva drops while you sleep and your teeth are most vulnerable overnight

🧵 Mouthwash ≠ floss
Love her. Use her. But she is NOT getting the plaque out from between your teeth 😂 Physical removal matters

📞 Don’t wait until it hurts to call me
Earlier detection = usually easier treatment. Please don’t make me meet your tooth for the first time during its full blown crisis 💀

🍿 Stop snacking all day
Every snack = another acid attack. Give your mouth and saliva a freaking break 😂

😬 WEAR YOUR NIGHTGUARD
You paid for it. We made it for you. It cannot protect your teeth from your bathroom drawer 😭

Lovingly nagging you because I care 🫶🏼

Just checking in
Xoxo your dentist 😂🦷❤️

Happy birthday to my sister Caitlyn 🥳

We’ve literally done every season of life together and there’s no one else I’d rather have by my side through all of it!

I’m so proud of the woman you’ve grown into and the life you’ve built. You’re an incredible mom, wife, Tinang and friend ❤️

So lucky I get to do life with you (even though I wish we were closer together) Love you forever sis ❤️

Okay I’ll admit it… the “leave it alone, it doesn’t bother me” mentality is definitely NOT limited to my Filipino patients 😂

I hear it alllll the time from everyone but my Filipino patients do crack me up because after that conversation you already know what’s coming next…

“Doc can I get a discount?” 😭😂🇵🇭

And listen, I respect it because we love a good deal pero after 10+ years of doing this I’ll let you in on the best dental deal I know:

👉 Prevention and early treatment!

That’s it. That’s the secret!

The little cavity is cheaper than the crown.

The crown is cheaper than losing the tooth.

And keeping your gums healthy actually helps keep your medical bills down!

Trust me y’all I WISH I could tell every patient, “Everything looks great! You don’t need anything!”
That would be a much more pleasant conversation for both of us haha

But when I tell you I see something it’s not because I want you to need dental work. I’m trying to help you take care of it while it’s still the smaller, simpler, less expensive problem❤️

🇵🇭 Wag mong kalimutan… BFW FTW. 🪥🦷💦

Literally caught myself talking about my blood sugar with my family the other day and thought… Omg! It’s me! I’ve become the Tita 😂

But this is exactly why your dentist needs to know about your health too!

We’re looking for signs of inflammation and gum disease, asking about your A1C and making sure your periodontal disease is actually being treated and maintained.

And it’s a win-win! Better blood sugar control can mean healthier gums and treating gum disease can help improve blood sugar control too 🙌

Your dental appointment is part of your healthcare not separate from it. So bring me the medication list. Tell me your last A1C. Tell me what your doctor said! I wanna know because good oral health really does impact whole-body health❤️

Wag mong kalimutan… BFW FTW🪥🦷

🇵🇭 See… I told you I wasn’t taking away rice 🍚😂

Honestly this would’ve been a terrible series if Episode 5 ended with “Never eat Filipino food again.” 🤣

Because let’s be real… I LOVE all of it.

Lumpia. Lechon. Cassava Cake. Pretty much everything (maybe we can skip the lengua 😝)

That’s exactly why I started ! My goal is to help our community understand the *why* behind oral health so we can keep enjoying the foods we grew up loving for years to come ❤️

Today’s takeaway:

🍽️ It’s not just what you eat… It’s how long you keep the bacteria at the buffet.

Your saliva needs about 30 minutes to start neutralizing the acids after eating or drinking.

✅ So eat your meal.
✅ Enjoy dessert.
✅ Then give your mouth a little break before the next snack.

Or better yet…

🎤 Go sing another karaoke song 😂

🇵🇭 Wag mong kalimutan… BFW FTW.

🪥 Brush.
🦷 Floss.
💦 Waterpik.

👇 Be honest…

Are you one plate and done… or are you hanging out by the food table all party long? 😂

Growing up Filipino, food has always meant family, celebration and love ❤️ That’s why I’ll never tell you to stop eating the foods that connect us to our culture.

My goal isn’t to shame our favorite foods. It’s to help our community understand the why behind oral health so we can keep enjoying those traditions with healthy smiles for years to come 🙏

Thank you for letting me be your 🇵🇭🦷

Next week we’re talking about one habit that’s probably doing more damage than rice ever could… 👀

Until then…

Wag mong kalimutan… BFW FTW! 🪥🦷💦
(Don’t forget!) Brush. Floss. Waterpik.

👇 Be honest… what’s the ONE Filipino food you could never give up?

If you’ve been following along, you’re probably thinking… “Okay doc… so how do I outsmart my genetics?”

The answer is kind of boring 😂

Brush.
Floss.
Waterpik

Keep your plaque under control.

I knowwww! It’s not sexy. It’s not some magic supplement or fancy biohack. But I swear it works!!

Now here’s where it gets interesting…

Plaque control is the easiest part.

The bacteria living in that plaque? That’s a whole different story.

Not all plaque is the same. Not all bacteria are the same. And not every patient needs the same treatment.

Some people benefit from additional therapies that target harmful bacteria because their mouth, genetics, and risk factors are different.

We’ll talk about biofilms, “bad bacteria,” and personalized treatment in future episodes 👀👀

And one last thing. If your dentist recommends additional treatment, don’t assume they’re trying to upsell you. Ask questions, but also know there’s usually a reason behind those recommendations ❤️

Preventive care doesn’t get enough credit.
Small daily habits make the biggest difference and these are the appointments that make my day 🤍🪥

When was your last checkup? The new year is the perfect time to get back in! 🦷
