Totally agree with this. My niece got bored with the brushing app after a few days, but when she made her own chart and picked out sparkly unicorn sti...
Yeah, the “be gentle” advice is so vague, right? I remember just sort of hovering my toothbrush near the area for a few days, feeling like I was defus...
Man, I totally get where you’re coming from. I remember thinking “one and done,” only to end up back in the chair a few weeks later. It’s wild how sne...
That neon green case idea is genius—I went with hot pink for mine and it’s saved me from tossing it out with my lunch more than once. Linking retainer...
