It's a numbing agent, right? Treats a symptom but not the actual issue. Exactly what the crunchy crowd claims real doctors do.

I read her story years ago and nearly got whiplash from all the head shaking.
No, to my knowledge, that was Shalom's sister Rebecca Pearl Anast. She really seems to live an inconceivably miserable life.
Art officially has 15 dollars in donations.
They also made a anti Taylor swift post. I'm not a swift but to hate her because you think she's a Neo nazi sympathizer billionaire is ridiculous, she's a a lot of things, this not being one of them in my opinion.
Apparently even hard working self made women who earn there own money to become extremely wealthy don't deserve their acclaim either.

I know kids who brush twice a day everyday and are prone to cavities. And then here come my kids with zero cavities and I think they do a bad job of brushing their teeth. I’ve seen them. I know they miss plenty of spots. Yet not cavities. My sister and I never had cavities as kids. Both of us got our first cavity when we were pregnant with our second kid. So I just assume our lack of cavities is highly genetic.
I agree with this, I think so too.
I have two younger brothers. The oldest and I never had cavities. I always brushed twice a day, but never flossed or used toothpicks or mouthwash. Older one only brushed once a day and didn't use anything else. My youngest brother brushed twice a day as well and had a lot of cavities starting at an early age. Dentist said he's just prone to cavities and my other brother and I aren't.
Until my 18th birthday I went to the dentist twice a year. From 18 till 22 I went once a year. Between 22 and 27 I went irregularly, about 3 times total between those ages. After your 18th birthday, dental care is no longer covered by standard health insurance, and as a student I didn't have that money so I didn't go regularly anymore. I did start using mouthwash and dental picks after my 18th birthday.
When I turned 27, my dentist retired. I had to look for a new dentist in my new town, and my adhd made that really difficult. The combination of dentist being expensive + having to find a new one, led to me not seeing a dentist for 5 years. Last year I finally registered at a new dentist. My teeth were fine. They said I must have taken great care of my teeth in those 5 dentist-less years, as they wouldn't have guessed from the state of my teeth that I hadn't seen a dentist in that long. Meanwhile, HB goes to the dentist twice a year, where he gets his teeth completely cleaned, and if he misses one time he is almost guaranteed to have a cavity the next time. So I guess I'm just blessed with strong teeth. (*I'm gonna knock on wood for this one though, I don't want to tempt faith😅*)
I know of dentists who recommend cloves/clove oil as a stop-gap if you have sudden dental pain and need something to help with pain while you wait the next hours/day/weekend to get an emergency appointment. Not as treatment replacement!
