I totally get the anxiety about not wanting to overreact, but also not wanting to miss something serious. When my kiddo first got braces, the swelling...
We had a similar thing happen with my kid—those alcohol mouthwashes were just too much. But honestly, does anyone else wonder if mouthwash is really a...
That sounds pretty similar to what happened with my daughter. Her sealant chipped after a year too—she’s a nail biter, so maybe that didn’t help. Did ...

My kid started getting that jaw click last year, and it freaked her out—she thought she broke something. The night guard was a battle at first, too. D...
