ORAL HEALTH OF FILIPINO CHILDREN
The consequences and cost of oral diseases are significant
Disturbed speechBecomes withdrawn and avoids socializing with
people and so lessens his opportunities for advancement.
More critical however is the effect of poor or defective teeth to overall nutrition so necessary to maintain good general health. That begins with the first bite and chewing the food efficiently.

Newborn Screening
A simple procedure to find out if a baby has a congenital metabolic disorder that may lead to mental retardation or even death if left untreated.

SIGNIFICANCE OF NEWBORN SCREENING
Newborn Screening
Most babies with metabolic disorder look normal at birth. One will never know that the baby has the disorder until the signs and symptoms are manifested. By this time, irreversible consequences are already present.
