Yeah, the stakes are way higher with permanent teeth. I always wonder about the milk thing too—my dentist actually said it’s legit, but only if you ca...
I relate to that back-and-forth on sealants—our dentist was pretty cautious too, which left me second-guessing. We ended up waiting, but honestly, I s...
