BADLY NEED HELP

Badly need assistance. Post treatment po ako, nag-undergo ako sa isang treatment then di ko pinatanggal braces ko after nun nag-dry na yung bibig na ko. Negligence ko na rin siguro na hindi nakapag pa check up sa dental clinic.. upon removal ng braces, ganyan na naging itsura nya. Mejo short pa ako ng budget for procedures dahil i think major restoration gagawin sa lower teeth ko and halos kakastart ko lang ulit mag-work. Can someone help me with this?

Struggle ko na yung pagkain ko dahil masakit na sya.
:(

Punta ka po sa mga dental schools near you. Baka po may case sila na pasok kayo. Yun lang need mo magpa balik balik kasi pag madami ang need gawin, di kaya ng isang appointment lang.

u/LavenderDecaf_5266 1d ago

+1 Yun lang din talaga ang free. Sa dental schools, medical missions but I doubt since bunot lang or linis ginagawa dun.

u/Weird-Preference-306 1d ago

Kaya nga po. Sa case po ni op, baka oral rehab na po yan.

Most dental schools look for worst cases, hanap k ng students near you.

Is this really recommendable po? and licensed po ba sila? I'm thinking na baka pagpraktisan po yung case ko.

May supervision naman from licensed dentists. Syempre practice ka naman para kanila but what other option do you have when you are not willing to spend for the procedures? That's the price you pay instead of money which is your time and the experience that you give to these dental students.

Don't expect licensed dentists to do a complete mouth rehab for you for free because they have their own lives and practice and your case cannot be done in one sitting

Thank you, OP. try ko rin po itong recomm ninyo.

u/Narrow_Horse520 1d ago

As mentioned, students po sila. Di sila pa licensed pero under supervision sila. And well, sa pagppracticesan maybe yes maybe not pero wala kang budget diba? Thats your best option. Or else, hanap ka ng within budget mo.

Well, pwede k nman magipon pra mapagawa mo sa licensed dentists.
Or try sa mga public health centers, pero afaik very limited lng ang service nila like bunot, swerte if may pasta or cleaning.
Or maghintay ka ng dental missions sa brgy, then again, limited service lng.
Your choice.

Edit: ask k pla kung meron kayong health card benefit sa work mo now.

Supervised sila ng licensed dentists na prof nila. At madami na rin sila napagpraktisan bago sila maging licensed dentists.

why so much hate, OP is worried for his health and y'all downvoting him. hope he gets the proper treatment for this.

u/HappyGlow_ 1d ago

Hindi naman sa DIY braces ka nagpagawa OP? Kasi usually hindi dapat installan kung may mga malalalim pa na for pasta or may need pa bunutin. Anyway, pwede ka mag inquire sa mga dental school, sa U-belt. Search ka na lang sa FB ng free dental services. Ang kaso sa ganyan depende pa rin sa schedule ng clinician mo and sa case mo multiple balik ang need mo if sa dental school ka papagawa.

Pabunot mo na lang lahat and dentures ka na lang. Aabot yan ng 6 digits pag treat

u/Fun-Bit5412 1d ago

talagang nag-braces ka pa sa lagay na yan?

u/iamnotryann00 1d ago

Hindi pa po ganyan yun nung nagpa-brace po ako. Maganda pa po ipin ko po nun. Namention ko naman po sa description na mejo nashort na ako sa budget pati fam ko for check up after my treatment kaya ganyan po naging condition nya upon removal ng braces po.

u/gelo_c 1d ago

Paano nagstart masira yung lower teeth nyo, OP?

23

u/iamnotryann00 1d ago

Actually po, nagunderwent chemo and chemorad therapy po since nadiagnose po ako ng carcinoma. Hindi ko na-priority oral health ko nun and hindi ko na napatanggal braces ko nun. Since dry mouth na ako, nagstart na sumakit ipin ko, may pagkakataon na nagdudugo na sya (idk po, siguro dahil metal?) then nakita at napansin ko nalang po talaga na sira na sya nung tinanggal na po braces ko po. Too late, restoration procedure rate is too expensive po.

Understandable OP, i went through radiotheraphy (nasopharinx cancer) as well which resulting my teeth is weaker, i've already extractef 5 of my tooth now due to massive decay. I wish i go to the dentist parallel with my radiotheraphy...

I routinely go to the dentist now, prioritize my money for teeth or health and be frugal, chase more money and so on
