That’s the truth. I sucked my thumb for years when I was younger—gave it up in my 30s after my dentist pointed out my front teeth were starting to fla...
That lines up with what I’ve found, too. I tried to do three root canals in one sitting once—never again. My jaw was sore for days and I just felt wip...
I get what you mean about reading aloud—felt awkward for me too at first. But after a while, it actually helped my tongue adjust. Maybe it’s just pers...
I used to brush off bleeding gums as just “getting older,” but after my heart scare last year, I started taking it more seriously. My cardiologist act...
That first week with braces is no joke—I remember feeling like my mouth had been through a blender. The salt water rinse really does wonders, even if ...

Funny how gums can be so dramatic, but I’ve actually had the opposite happen. I brushed and flossed religiously for years, and mine still liked to act...
