Lim, a participant of the Philippine Dental Organization, former associate dean and currently a faculty of the University of the East University of Dentistry, as well as honorary fellow/member of the Asian Oral Implant Academy as well as the Japan College of Oral Implantologists.

Fortunately, Silvestre turned out to be an excellent candidate for dental implants and also surgical treatment was arranged. On that day, nonetheless, something unforeseen occurred.

" My whole body was trembling - not because I was scared yet because I took some depressants. To avoid problem, the operation had to be moved to an additional date. When that day came, I didn't take anything and everything was fine," she said.
