I’ve noticed that too—one visit I felt totally clear right away, but another time it lingered and I had to sit in my car for a while before driving. F...
Little brushes weird me out too, honestly. I always feel like I’m about to stab my gums or do some kind of damage, especially when things already feel...
Yeah, I’ve tried the saltwater rinse trick too—didn’t really do much except make me paranoid about every twinge. The tongue thing is impossible, right...
I get what you mean about Parodontax—tried it myself after a recommendation and my gums got that weird tingle too. It was kind of unsettling, so I swi...
I get what you mean about the fancy rinses—one time I tried this “herbal” one from the health store and my mouth felt like I’d chewed on a Christmas w...

I can totally relate to that weird numbness. I had an allograft done last year and the sensation changes were definitely unsettling for a while. My su...
Cartoons definitely help distract my youngest, but I’ve noticed it’s kind of a double-edged sword. For cleanings, they’re great—she zones out and bare...
