In this honest and eye-opening episode, Dean and Sara get real about a topic many parents quietly stress over: our kids’ teeth. Sara admits their 6-year-old just saw the dentist for the first time (oops), and Dean opens up about how his childhood nickname “Beaver” still stings thanks to some serious dental insecurities.

To break the cycle and get some actual answers, they’ve invited expert dentist Dr. Kunal Patel—who not only runs a chain of clinics called Love Teeth but also opened one with a surprising twist that caught Sara's eye. They ask him all the real parenting questions, like:

Are dummies/thumb-sucking really that bad?
When should we actually start brushing baby teeth?
What’s the deal with fluoride, sealants, and clear aligners?
And… is it really that awful if they eat a lollipop before bed just once in a while?

From TikTok dental myths to teenage whitening strip obsessions, this episode is full of practical advice, funny confessions (hello, Bacardi bottle party trick), and the one thing every parent should know to help their kids have great teeth for life.
