My kiddo’s got a partial, and honestly, I wish I could say we have a system, but it’s more like “where did I leave it this time?” I tried making a bak...
That’s pretty much my routine too, but I swear the minute my kid gets a cold, suddenly every bottle in the house smells like a swamp. I’ve tried bakin...
That’s honestly me with my kiddo. Some mornings, getting him to brush feels like negotiating with a tiny, very stubborn lawyer. We’ve tried the singin...
This hits home. My kiddo went through something similar after her full arch (she’s a teenager, so you can imagine the drama when she bit into an apple...

Same here—my kiddo lost a baby tooth in the playground (swings again...) and now she gives apples the side-eye. As for milk, our dentist said it’s som...
Totally agree with this. I used to stress over every little germ, especially when my kiddo started using an electric brush. Tried the boiling water th...
Totally agree on the “raincoat” comparison—my daughter’s sealants lasted almost two years, and then she bit down on a popcorn kernel and, well... bye-...
