The smell and taste of minty fresh toothpaste can be too much for some ladies during the gestational months.

I’d always been one to have a scrub, hold the brush in my mouth, pick up a stray something off the floor, and then finish my oral hygiene routine. I found out the hard way not to take a break while brushing.
