That’s been my experience too. At first, I definitely brushed longer—partly because the timer made me feel like I was “supposed” to, but also because ...
That’s exactly it—it’s just a temporary fix, and the bill still stings. We had to do the same runaround last year for my daughter, and urgent care jus...
I’m right there with you on the cost and the food struggle. I had mine done last year, and even with insurance, the bill was way higher than I planned...
