Honestly, I kinda think the rinse is overkill for most little kids, unless your dentist specifically says otherwise. My youngest tried to sneak sips o...
I get the hype around water flossers—they’re way less fiddly than threading floss through braces, for sure. But I’ll be honest, I still use those litt...
Haha, the “just a minor annoyance” line gets me every time—like, sure, until I can’t chew a sandwich without wincing. I had a similar thing after my w...
