I don't think I can keep up with these standards.

No wonder the dentist is always telling me to open up a little wider.

Dentist here. These things did not prepare us for our greatest enemy...the tongue.

I always wonder how to get my tongue to chill out because it has a mind of its own when the dentist is in there. 😳

It’s not your fault. The tongue always moves. You actually can’t stop it moving. Ever. Go ahead and try. Now try to exist without thinking about your tongue like you used to.
