RE: Daily mouthwash vs. regular dental checkups for keeping your mouth healthy?
Same here - if only swishing counted as a full cleaning, right? I use mouthwash for the techy “freshness boost” but my dentist always finds something to poke at anyway. Store brand’s where it’s at though, no shame.
RE: How soft is too soft for toothbrush bristles?
Man, I totally get what you mean about those ultra soft brushes. I tried one after a friend hyped them up and honestly, it felt like I was brushing with a cloud - like, is this thing even touching my teeth? My brain was ...
RE: Braces in your 30s: did you know teeth can move for life?
Man, losing a retainer at a restaurant is such a classic move - I’ve nearly tossed mine in the trash with a burger wrapper more times than I wanna admit. Those mail-order ones are tempting for the price, but I couldn’t s...
RE: What if your implant keeps bugging you - how would you cope?
I get where you’re coming from about wanting more tech in the chair, but I gotta say, sometimes the old-school methods aren’t all bad. That blue paper thing - yeah, it’s kinda basic, but it’s been around forever for a re...

RE: WEIRD TRICKS PEOPLE SWEAR BY FOR WOBBLY TEETH
Man, my kid was the total opposite - he’d ONLY eat stuff with zero texture. Like, if there was even a hint of a lump in the mashed potatoes, he’d act like I was trying to poison him. Tried the frozen fruit thing but he s...
RE: Finally stopped my teeth from wiggling - here’s what worked for me
Title: Water Flosser Convert (But Still Side-Eyeing Toothpaste Rules) Honestly, I’m the opposite about switching toothpastes - I get bored with the same one and end up trying whatever’s on sale or has the weirdest flavo...
RE: How did you get your kid to ditch the binky?
That’s gold. My kid straight up told me, “You can’t trick me, Dad, I know Amazon delivers everything.” As for dental stuff, we got lucky - no weird teeth angles, just a ton of drool for a while after. Did you guys try an...
