I’ve had a similar experience. When I swapped my usual Greek yogurt for more salads, I noticed my teeth felt rougher and my hygienist actually comment...
I get what you’re saying about snack swaps making a difference, but I’ve actually had the opposite experience. For me, even when I cut out crackers an...
Definitely get the hesitation. I was super paranoid about my bridge when I first tried a water flosser—felt like I was pressure washing a relic. Hones...
