The Spring Break Promise & The Morning-After Regret

Imagine this: It's the peak of Miami spring break. The night was epic—music, laughter, new friends. You fell asleep with the taste of pizza and soda still on your teeth, too tired to even think about your toothbrush.

You wake up to a Miami sunrise, but your mouth feels… off. It’s sticky, furry, and tastes like something crawled in and died. You tell yourself it’s just “morning breath,” but a look in the mirror shows a yellow film on your teeth, and your gums look a little puffy.
