The month of July 2022 after my trip from California I've decided to make new choices in my own appearance. I realized one day we won't be wearing our face mask. When that time comes, I've already had my new look set aside. Carmina is like everyone else we have caps on our mouth, and no one knows us only our dentist who works on it. Fifteen years ago, when I had migrated to the Philippines my caps were already there. Four years ago, before the pandemic started, I've had plans to change it yet never came to the point actually getting it done. Carmina decided to really set foot and enter inside  Aking Dentista  and made an appointment online. Carmina notices one cap was already loosed it is in the front.

Carmina has had a lot of family and friends during the pandemic they were also toothless and asked us to take a gr...
