Persistent headache? Visit your dentist?



If you have a headache, quite often and you've been to your medical doctor, took the prescribed pain reliever and still the headache persist. And, if the problem persists, the cause may lie in your mouth. It is time to visit your dentist!

The cause of your headaches could actually be in the way you occlude your teeth in your jaw known as dental occlusion. Dental occlusion is the way your teeth meet when your jaws bite together. Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder is a neuromuscular jaw condition caused by an imbalanced bite. When the joint causes pressure to be put on the nerves muscles and blood vessels that pass near the head, the result can be headaches and migraines.

If you suffer from continual headaches or migraines, especially first thing in the morning, pain behind your eyes, sinus pains and pains in the neck or shoulders, you should consider visiting your dentist, as well as a Doctor, as soon as possible.

There are lots of people who's dental occlusion are not perfect yet they show no symptoms and adjust well to this problem. And for those who cannot adjust may suffer and the most affected place in the mouth are the teeth and gums and instead of headaches they have broken teeth, fillings, loose teeth and toothache with no apparent cause.

If you have any of these problems, visit a dentist immediately or at best visit Ortiz Dental Clinic.

For the treatment your dentist need to be carefully adjust your teeth to meet evenly, as changing the direction and position of the slopes that guide your teeth together can often help reposition the jaw. If your teeth are too far out of line or in a totally incorrect bite position, it may be necessary to fit a brace to move them into a better position.

As the Temporo-Mandibular Joint needs equal support from both sides of both jaws, the chewing action is designed to work properly only when all your teeth are present and in the correct position. Therefore, missing teeth may need to be replaced either with a partial denture or bridgework.

For Temporo-Mandibular Joint problems that causes migraines, all you need to do is visit your dentist or Ortiz Dental Clinic for proper diagnosis and treatment.

If you have persistent headahes and migraines and you doctor cannot help you, your dentist can!

Abreeza Mall opening causes traffic nightmare in Davao City!


The biggest mall in Davao City and the whole of MIndanao has just opened yesterday May, 12 2011!

The mall was mobbed by shop goers from all over Davao City and neighboring provinces on its first day of opening. Hours before the mall was set to open troves of people are already lining up at the mall entrances and private cars are already queuing up to their basement parking space and traffic in the area are already heavy.

As the day went the traffic becomes heavy and it got heavier as the sun is about to set, since people who are working are going home and that adds up to the traffic congestion. Commuters who are going home after their shopping could not get a seat on the jeepneys since most of them are already full. The ride from Gaisano Mall to Abreeza before it was opened took only about 10-15 minutes and now it runs from 40-55 minutes to get there. That is how the congested the traffic situation is.

The presence of traffic police and officers did not do any to help congest the area.

Jinkee Pacquiao: No sex before a fight!


It’s Sunday afternoon, one week before Manny Pacquiao faces Shane Mosley in the ring at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas tomorrow morning, May 8 (Saturday night US Time), the same hotel where 10 years ago Manny, then a 121-pounder, had his debut in an undercard in which he beat Lehlohonolo Ledwaba during the bout between Oscar De La Hoya and Javier Castillejo. The Pacquiao-Ledwaba fight didn’t last six rounds. De La Hoya beat Castillejo but, as fate would have it, a few years later, Manny would beat De La Hoya.


It’s 4 o’clock when Tim Evans (an officer of the US Immigration) and I arrive at the Pacquiao residence in Hancock Park. Manny is at the Wild Card Gym working out, only Jinkee and his twin sister Janet and older sister Haydee who are in, entertaining a handful of visitors that included the crew of CBS that was interviewing Jinkee.

The house is relatively quiet. Tim and I expect a pre-fight hustle-bustle. Jake Joson of Team Pacquiao is around, and so are former Manila Rep. Miles Roces and his special friend Cris Bonoan with Miles’ kids. Bernard Cloma, the Pacquiaos’ all-around assistant, is busy entertaining the visitors that also include actor Kevin Santos.

The next day, Jinkee and Manny and their usual entourage will go to Las Vegas by car.

While waiting for the CBS guys to finish their interview with Jinkee, Tim and I take a quick tour of the ground floor, taking pictures here and there, focusing on the famous winding staircase beside a wall adorned with framed blown-up photos of Manny.

That morning, the New York Times has come out with a story titled Enter The Emulator in which Manny reveals that he got his style from his idol, Bruce Lee .

This time around, do you feel the same way before Manny’s fight as you did during his previous fights?

“It’s still the same. But it really depends on who he’s fighting with. Kapag alam ko na ang kalaban niya ay easy fight lang, parang wala lang, parang relaks lang.”

Do you think Mosley is “easy fight lang”?

“I saw Mosley fight before so medyo kinakabahan ako. But I’m still confident that Manny will win. You know how Manny trains, 100 percent ang focus and concentration.”

Do you watch him train?

“Oh yes, always.”

Aside from prayer, what other support do you give Manny? Do you give suggestions?

“Sometimes, binibigay ko ang opinion ko when it comes to, for example, the sparring. After the workout, I would tell him. ‘Yung sparring mo kanina okey.’ Mga ganoon-ganoon lang.”

During a fight, I suppose masaya ka kapag nakakatama si Manny sa kalaban. How do you feel kung siya ang tinatamaan?

“That’s what many people have been asking me, ‘Ano kaya ang feeling ni Jinkee? Idol namin si Manny kaya kami ay natatakot din for him. What more kay Jinkee, eh, siya ang asawa.’ How do I feel? Siempre, when Manny is hit, nalulungkot at nasasaktan ako. Mixed feelings, actually. I cannot explain it. Basta, natatakot ka, kinakabahan ka, lahat na!”

There are predictions that Manny will knock out Mosley in the fifth or sixth round. Do you have your own prediction?

“I don’t make predictions.”

Why not?

“Basta ayoko lang.”

Manny’s mom, Aling Dionisia, has been vocal about her wish every time Manny has a fight that it would be the last. What about you?

“If you ask me, gusto ko last na ‘to. But whatever Manny’s decision is, I will support him. If he wants to have two or three more fights, I will be behind him.”

Do you and Manny ever discuss his retirement?

“Yes, we do. The decision is all up to him.”

What kind of food does Manny eat during his training for a fight?

“Simple lang. Kelangan may sabaw, Tinolang Manok. Chicken and beef but no pork. He eats them every day. Actually, he’s not choosy with food.”

How many hours before a fight does he stop eating?

“Kumakain din naman siya, but not much.”

Nonito Donaire Jr. and his wife Rachel admitted that they sometimes still do “it” on the eve of a fight. What about you and Manny (do you abstain from “it”) before Manny’s fight?

“We do (abstain). No sex talaga before a fight. Mga three weeks before his fight, hindi na puede, bawal na.”

So what do you do in bed?

“Kuwentuhan na lang or hug-hug na lang, ganyan.”

What do you talk about when you hug-hug?

“Nothing. Yakap-yakap lang talaga kapag natutulog kami.”

Doesn’t Manny talk in his sleep?

“If he does, I can’t hear him because when he sleeps, nakatalikod siya sa akin at kinakamot ko ang likod niya. I think he does it para hindi siya ma-tempt. I usually gently massage his back para makatulog siya.”

Do you have anything to say to our kababayan?

“To all Filipinos, sana suportahan natin uli si Manny sa kanyang laban. Let’s pray for him. Sana manalo uli siya.”
