I didn't know about the fractures!! EEK!
I was taking 2 of mine for the non anesthesia method and then I couldn't make if for one month and I saw how fast the plaque came back because it is sitting right under the gum!! They aren't scraping under the gum like they do when you go to the dentist. So now I have an appointment for one of them at the dentist, I am going to have them look at his jaw and I hope they won't see any fractures!! I hope your baby is doing OK now and don't beat yourself up, you were just trying to do the best for her!!
