RE: Little tricks that helped me recover after gum surgery

RE: Why does milk get all the credit for strong teeth?

Totally get this. My kid hates milk—just looks at it and makes a face. We tried the “strong teeth” pitch and got nowhere. But brushing? That’s our nig...

RE: Making brushing fun for little ones—what actually works?

That’s my kid exactly. I swear, bubblegum is basically her fifth food group. I keep telling myself it’s just a phase... but at this point, I’m not bet...

RE: KIDS' TOOTHBRUSHES: ELECTRIC VS MANUAL—WHAT'S WORKING FOR YOUR FAMILY?

Totally feel this. My kid will swear he brushed “for like five minutes” but I’m pretty sure it was closer to five seconds. We tried using those toothb...

RE: Weirdest Thing You’ve Learned About Braces Tightening?

RE: Hypothetically, if you tried extracting some herbal stuff at home—like oils or tinctures—and it went kinda wrong (maybe too strong or weird smell or something), how would you fix it?

Did the same thing with a “herbal mouth rinse” I tried to make for my kid—totally backfired. The smell was like old socks and it stung like crazy. Tri...

RE: Quick hacks to brighten teeth by morning?

Charcoal powder is a total mess, at least in my house. My kid tried it last summer after seeing some TikTok thing, and I’m still finding black dust in...

RE: Eating comfortably when your mouth feels like a construction zone

Scrambled eggs were a total win for my kid—soft, easy, and filling enough to keep complaints at bay for a bit. Smoothies were hit or miss though... co...
