In the bustling city of Davao, where family and hard work are paramount, a dental check-up is often the first thing to be cut from a tight budget. For the low-income family, it's a choice between a week's worth of groceries and a dental cleaning. For the middle-class family, it's an expense that can be postponed. But this postponement has a silent, cumulative cost, one that often reveals itself in the failure of something meant to be permanent, like a dental bridge.
