RE: How much is too much when it comes to fluoride rinse?

I get wanting to prevent cavities, but honestly, those rinses add up if you’re on a tight budget. We tried them for a while, but between toothpaste, d...

RE: Finally figured out where to stash that giant mouthwash bottle

That’s actually a smart move. I’ve been annoyed by the way those huge bottles clutter up the sink too, but never thought to use a soap dispenser. I ju...

RE: Scraping my tongue: is it worth splurging on a fancy one?

I’m with you on the plastic ones feeling kind of pointless—mine bent after, like, two uses. I don’t really get the hype around copper either. I’ve rea...

RE: How I deal with a busted tooth until I can see the dentist

Yeah, I totally get where you’re coming from. After I chipped a tooth last year, I was paranoid about even soft foods—felt like anything could be hidi...

RE: How I managed the cost of my root canal (and did insurance actually help?)

I get what you mean about putting money toward shade matching instead. When I had my root canal, I was surprised by all the “optional” upgrades they o...

RE: Wobbly teeth as an adult—should I be freaking out?

I get what you mean about the brain zooming in—once I start worrying about something with my teeth, it’s like I can’t stop checking every five minutes...

RE: Why do gum checkups make me so nervous?

That’s wild, I’ve had almost the exact same thing happen—one hygienist flagged a bunch of 4s and freaked me out about “early gum disease,” then six mo...

RE: Surprising Stories About Flossing Habits That Actually Changed Smiles

I totally get that. I tried a water flosser because I’d heard it was “easier,” but honestly, the price tag kinda stung, and like you, I just didn’t fe...

RE: Quick fix for brighter teeth—baking soda vs activated charcoal?

Charcoal is messy, no doubt. I tried it once and it looked like a crime scene in my sink. That said, I did notice a bit of a difference with surface s...

RE: Knocked out tooth: anyone else try those instant repair kits?

I’m with you on that—those kits aren’t a fix, but they’re way better than nothing when you’re stuck. I had a chunk of filling fall out during a holida...
