Man, I was convinced I was doing something wrong when my gums ballooned up after getting braces. Did you ever get that weird tingly feeling, too? I ke...
I always worry I’m not brushing hard enough if the bristles are super soft. Like, what if I’m just moving toothpaste around and not actually cleaning ...
