That’s been my experience too—my bridge always looks a shade lighter right after a cleaning, but it’s kind of like a car wash in winter… shiny for a b...
Dried mango is basically dental cement in disguise. I once had a piece stuck so stubbornly, I thought it was a permanent addition to my smile. Popcorn...
