Honestly, sometimes I still wonder if we’re missing something, but our dentist keeps reminding us that consistency matters more than obsessing over every single spot.

This is exactly what I needed to hear. I get caught up worrying if I’m doing it “right” with my daughter, especially when she squirms or rushes. Did you notice a big difference right away with the tongue cleaner? I keep second-guessing if it’s worth adding another step, but maybe it actually helps more than I think. Also, do you use those little flossers too, or just stick to brushing and tongue cleaning? Sometimes it all feels like a lot for a kid...

Honestly, I was surprised by how much fresher my daughter’s breath was after a few days. She actually thought it was fun at first—kind of like a silly game. We use the little flossers some nights, but not every single time. It really can feel overwhelming, so sometimes we just stick to the basics and don’t stress if we miss a step here or there. Consistency over perfection, for sure.
