Tooth pain…
is one of the most common health problems
in the Philippines.
Yet when pain starts,
many Filipinos choose
to remove the tooth…
instead of saving it.
But why?
Is extraction really the best solution?
Or…
is it simply the cheaper option?
My name is Carlo.
And this happened to me.
I had an infected tooth.
A dental friend told me,
“Just remove it.”
Other dentists said the same thing.
Makati is one of the busiest business districts in the Philippines. If you are a top sales executive, manager, entrepreneur, or corporate professional, your smile plays a powerful role in how people perceive you.
This is not just marketing.
People judge confidence, discipline, and professionalism based on overall appearance — including your teeth.
Living and working in Makati means dealing with heavy traffic, long office hours, client meetings, and high living expenses.
Because of this fast-paced lifestyle, many professionals delay dental treatment — especially root canal procedures — until the pain becomes unbearable.
Unfortunately, neglecting infected teeth can lead to:
Severe toothache
Facial swelling
Bone loss
Tooth extraction

My name is Carlo, and this also happened to me. A dental friend advised me to remove my infected tooth. When I consulted other dentists, they also suggested extraction. The reason? They said my bone level was shallow and the infection inside the tooth was severe.
But I started to ask: Is removing the tooth always the best solution? Or is it simply the cheaper option?
This case shows advanced dental decay affecting multiple upper teeth. Several teeth present with large cavities, enamel breakdown, discoloration, and structural loss. The condition appears long-standing and untreated.
The lower teeth show mild plaque accumulation with possible early decay. The primary concern is severe destruction of the upper teeth with a high risk of infection.
