RE: Did you know babies can get cavities before their first birthday?

That’s actually one of my biggest fears right now. I always thought as long as you weren’t giving juice or candy, you were safe, but apparently not? M...

RE: Which works better for whiter teeth: Crest 3D White mouthwash or Listerine Healthy White?

I tried Crest 3D White for a couple weeks because I got nervous about stains showing up after too much coffee. At first, I thought the tingling meant ...

RE: Why does it feel like dentists only want to throw antibiotics at gum problems?

I totally get this. First time I had gum issues, I was all nerves and my dentist just handed me antibiotics like it was a takeout menu. Didn’t even as...

RE: Weirdest thing I learned—hydrogen peroxide is in a bunch of stain removers, even for teeth, and it’s the same stuff in hair bleach.

That’s wild about the cinnamon. I’ve had almost the exact same thing happen—tried a “gentle” toothpaste and my mouth felt like it was on fire for hour...

RE: Surprised by how fast pro whitening worked for me

I’m actually kind of nervous about this exact thing. I have a small bonding on my front tooth from when I chipped it as a kid, and I keep wondering if...

Yeah, the cost part is what keeps me up at night too—like, I keep picturing myself paying off this massive bill and then something going wrong down th...

RE: Choosing between autografts and allografts for better healing?

That “boring” food phase is way too familiar—my blender basically became my best friend. I’ve only had one graft so far (an allograft), but my dentist...

RE: SEDATION FOR TOOTH EXTRACTION - IV OR LAUGHING GAS?

This is exactly what’s making me nervous about the whole thing. I’ve never been under IV sedation before and the idea of waking up not remembering any...

RE: That moment when your braces wire starts stabbing you mid-meal

That’s hilarious because I literally did the same thing last week—Orbit gum, in my case. Didn’t even last through lunch, but it was better than nothin...
