I’m still trying to figure out if the “no spitting” rule is more about pressure changes or just general cleanliness. I mean, I get that you don’t want...
I totally get the confusion. After my wisdom teeth came out, I felt like I was prepping for a NASA mission with all the conflicting instructions. My o...
Honestly, I think it really depends on the kid. When I had a couple root canals as a teenager (not six at once, thank goodness), the swelling was pret...
I get why hearing “it’s fine” from the ortho helps, but I’m always a little skeptical. My cousin chipped her tooth and they said it was minor too, bu...

Relatable. I think my first attempt with the Waterpik could’ve doubled as a car wash for my molars. I was definitely not prepared for that hydraulic b...
Milk as a tooth-saving hack sounds good in theory, but in real life? My adrenaline would probably have me sprinting for ice or a random water bottle b...
