Baby Tali


“I was already expecting a lot of crying, screaming and "pagpupumiglas!” Pauleen Luna admitted bracing herself for baby Tali's first dental check-up. Read their story here.

Pauleen Luna is such a proud mom to baby Tali as the Kapuso actress-host recalled what happened during her daughter's first trip to the dentist.

Kids commonly dread the dentist's chair. This was true for Pauleen who once feared going to her dental check-up as a kid. Now that she has her own little child, the Kapuso mom looked back at her experience and wished baby Tali wouldn't have the same traumatic experience she had.

Pauleen said, “Tali's 1st trip to the dentist! Ahhhh I've been having so much thoughts about my daughter's first dental appointment as I was a scared little girl before who was terrified of the dentist! I prepped her for weeks, playing dentist, practicing the 'ahhhhh,' and how the dentist will check her teeth. You see, Tali, just like any kid is afraid of something she's not so familiar with so I was already expecting a lot of crying, screaming, and pagpupumiglas! This girl has been confined in our home for the past 10 months so I was expecting the worst! But man, what happened today was unexpected!

To her surprise, baby Tali enjoyed her first dental check-up.

Pauleen continued, saying, “She was so happy to be in GAOC! All the dentists and receptionists were so friendly (as per usual) and Tali felt at home right away! She loved wearing the PPE! From the hair cap down to the shoe cover! She said she felt like a princess. Her check up went soooo well! Not one tear! Super thanks to Doc Nyka and all the other people in the clinic! Thank you guys for making her first dental appointment happy and not traumatizing (like mine!).”

Pauleen, together with her husband Vic Sotto, has also brought their baby girl to her first trip outdoors since the quarantine began in March 2020. The family of three visited a country estate in Laguna where they were able to enjoy fresh air.

The Kapuso mom posted photos from their trip and wrote, “'I'm glad we were able to go out today. So nice to get fresh air and enjoy nature for a change. We visited @staelenagolfandcountryestate Fun Farm. There was no one there so it was safe to take the little one's mask off. We needed this change of scenery, even if it was just a short time. Thank you Lord for this opportunity.”
