Do I Need Dentures?
A denture with proper fit is not only for aesthetics. In fact, you will notice that having them can help with your speech, eating and improve self-confidence.
Some cavities may be solved with pasta filling but severe cases will require extraction. Dentures can then be used to fill the gap.
Benefits of Pustiso
In the country, pustiso or dentures are available as an option to fill in the space caused by an extracted tooth. In most cases, these products help in maintaining the confidence of the person when it comes to having that radiant smile.
Apart from visual appearance, dentures are also easy to maintain and clean. They can be a substitute if you do not have healthy teeth, jaws or gums.
The Philippine Dental Association recognizes tooth cavity as a disease in this report by Manila Bulletin. When ignored, it will eventually lead to tooth loss, prompting you to get dentures to fill the gap in the gum.
Where Can I Buy It
Some dental clinics offer a cheap denture material based on patient preferences. Its cost may start from around Php 1,500 for a single tooth. I once asked a dentist about a single tooth and he quoted me Php 4,800 for porcelain.
Health Cards and Dentures
Not all dental procedures are covered by HMO or health cards. Apparently, only the minor prophylaxis service is covered as a standard benefit. HMOs may not cover other specialized dental procedures like false tooth installation.
