My kid lost a tooth last month and honestly, I was way more stressed than she was. She just wanted to show it off at school, but I kept imagining it f...
Honestly, I’m still not convinced the tablets are as big a win as some people make them out to be. My daughter tried them after getting her expander, ...
That’s kind of what our ortho said too, but as a parent, I still get nervous watching my kid’s gums get all puffy. I’m not convinced it’s “just normal...
