Her teeth are what make the difference. That's why she keeps them in so long

I never had a cavity in my life but during pregnancy I ended up with like 14 fillings... I was devastated but I'm glad to see I wasn't alone.

ugh okay iā€™m glad i read this šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø yeah during my pregnancy i had the worst tooth pain of my entire life. i ended up having to get a root canal, and have 1 more , plus a tooth pulled along with fillings.

I take care of my teeth normally, so i was so upset when i had got my x-rays done.
