How Susan Approaches This Site
Susan reviews and writes about oral care products the way she’d talk to a patient in her own chair: plainly, honestly, and focused on what actually matters for your teeth and gums. Her clinical background — seeing what works (and doesn’t) for real patients every day — shapes everything she publishes here, from toothbrush comparisons to flossing technique breakdowns.
