That aftertaste isn’t just in your imagination. I’ve noticed it too, and I don’t even have braces anymore—just a mouthful of crowns and a bridge at th...
It’s funny, I used to think dental stuff was all cut and dried—like, you chip a tooth, they fix it, end of story. But after a few decades and more den...
I’ve had a bridge for over a decade now and I’ll admit, those little wire brushes are a pain—literally, sometimes. The water flosser’s been a game cha...
I see where you're coming from about the staff vibe, but I’ve actually found that sometimes the technical skill of the dentist outweighs even the frie...
