RE: Dental implants that replace all teeth with just four screws?
The point about implants still needing cleaning is easy to overlook, especially under a fixed bridge. - What exact routine did the dental team recommend for cleaning beneath and around the prosthesis? - Did they suggest...
RE: Wax vs. mouth rinses for braces-induced mouth ulcers - what actually works better?
- I’ve actually had better luck with wax than rinses, but it’s definitely not perfect. The melting is a pain, but I just reapply after hot drinks. - Medicated rinses always made my mouth feel raw, and sometimes I think...

RE: How I keep track of my gum check-ups (and wonder if I'm doing it right)
- Switched to a smart toothbrush with pressure sensors - big help for not brushing too hard or soft. - The app tracks brushing sessions, flags missed spots, and even nags me if I skip a day... kind of annoying but works....
