RE: What do you do when a bracket pops off at night?

Yeah, that’s happened to me a couple times—once it was just from biting into a banana, so bread’s not even weird. Sometimes the glue just gives out. I...

RE: Noticed my gums acting weird lately

Definitely agree with this. Took me years to figure out that scrubbing harder wasn't doing me any favors—just making my gums angrier, haha. Softer bru...

RE: fluoride in toothpaste—do you worry about it?

Same here, learned that lesson years ago. I tried one of those prescription-strength fluoride pastes thinking it'd toughen up my enamel... ended up wi...

RE: Sensitive Gums Driving Me Nuts—Saltwater Rinse or OTC Gel?

Saltwater rinses have always been my go-to—cheap, easy, and effective. When I had braces (ages ago, mind you), gels didn't do much for me. But a warm ...

RE: how thorough are you with dental checkups?

I get your point about preventive care saving money in the long run, but honestly, sometimes life just doesn't cooperate. I've been pretty diligent ab...

RE: fluoride in toothpaste—do you worry about it?

Had a similar experience when I switched to a fluoride-free toothpaste—teeth felt kinda off for a week or two. Eventually went back to regular fluorid...
