We offer kid-friendly practical advice that’s easy to understand and use. We also dive into a more complex case of our friend Calhoun, who’s experiencing tooth decay due to low saliva count post-surgery and radiation therapy. We demystify why Calhoun has been prescribed a potent fluoride rinse and even explore potential alternatives.
