The following weeks were a whirlwind of appointments. Dr. Blanco's gentle touch during the periodontal cleaning soothed Aiza's initial apprehension. Dr. Santos, with his friendly demeanor, explained how braces would help align her smile.
Then came a dull ache in one of her back teeth. Dr. Blanco diagnosed a cavity, but the location was tricky. She referred Aiza to Dr. Santos, the endodontist.
"Endo...what?" Aiza stammered; her brow furrowed.
Dr. Blanco smiled patiently. "Endodontists are the tooth detectives," she explained. "Sometimes, cavities can reach the inner pulp of the tooth, causing pain. Endodontists specialize in treating these problems and saving your teeth."
Dr. Santos, with his steady hand and calming presence, performed a root canal, alleviating the throbbing pain. Aiza was amazed by the teamwork between the dentists. Each specialist, with their unique expertise, played a crucial role in keeping her smile healthy.
