That “tin can” taste is all too familiar—my kid complained about it for days after her biopsy. Lemon was a total no-go for us, too. She tried it once ...
My kid’s been in braces for almost three years now, and honestly, I’m starting to question if the original “18 months, tops” estimate was just wishful...
I get the sensitivity thing—my kiddo tried those whitening strips (with my supervision) and it was a hard nope after just two days. But honestly, I’m ...
