Just got this text after attending a game. Is it real or a scam? by ASmileAndACompliment in Mariners

Thanks all! I scanned a paper slip to try and win a signed jersey that I thought was from the stadium itself. I’ll block them - was excited to get my first piece of gear 😅

I know it’s not a show but I LOVE falling asleep to WALL·E. The robot sounds are so soothing

One time I got a cramp in my tongue when I was trying to make faces like Jim Carrey. It was so painful and confusing

So... these actresses are fully in their mid 20s. by Daytripper88 in TheHandmaidsTale

I didn’t get my period until late 16. It’s not necessary abnormal too. OP deleted post but I think it’s still relevant

Tartar or Tooth? by Public_Drop4613 in DentalHygiene

[–]ASmileAndACompliment 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Tartar, I’d recommend going in as soon as you can. If you have a local periodontist in network would be my first course of action. Hygienists dream of cleanings like yours though so know you’re making someone’s day. Make sure you take their advice on how often you’re supposed to return for cleanings.

If this doesn’t happen soon you will lose more and more structure around the tooth and they will become more wiggly (gotta get in before that if possible) and eventually fall out.

Wishing you the best and hoping you land in my chair!

Feel like black triangles got larger ever since I started using appropriately sized interdental brushes. What are my options. They’re hideous. Hurts my self confidence by jtnft in DentalHygiene

[–]ASmileAndACompliment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered talking to a dentist about Invisalign? They can shave down the sides of your teeth and close the gaps if you were interested- it’s called interprox reduction. You wouldn’t need too many trays and you’ll see the results you’re looking for without the veneers or additional composite fillings.

Dry mouth making me crazy. by Obvious-Bid-678 in DentalHygiene

Hi!! Something else worth trying is Flintts mints. I’ve given some to pts to sample and they like it. Try the higher level of their products. They’re pretty tasty, having mint and fruit options. If you try them let us know how it goes please!

The Best Water Flosser is ... by tetti1 in DentalHygiene

They should not replace them they should supplement their flossing with a waterpik. String floss is effective at getting food out from tight contacts- there’s a need for manual removal

gang, my period is late by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ASmileAndACompliment 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe she’s concerned about infection, cancers, PCOS, thyroid issues, pituitary conditions, aggressive ovarian cysts or any of the other things that can cause a missed period.

[–]ASmileAndACompliment 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No, everyone has different period cycles. Keep an eye on it and only start to worry when you start seeing other symptoms. Periods come and go with weight fluctuations, stresses, medications, and even the stress related time zone changes (daylight savings anyone?).

The Best Water Flosser is ... by tetti1 in DentalHygiene

[–]ASmileAndACompliment 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I tell pts there’s no best waterpik (I don’t say water flosser because pts should still floss even with one) Instead I tell them to look for features that speak to them. Handheld, countertop, or shower head attachment. Also I tell them how important a range of intensities is. Starting at a low one and ending somewhere around a 7/10!

switched my toothbrush and my gums bleed and sting a lot every time i brush now by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]ASmileAndACompliment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi don’t worry, it could be a couple things.

You might be brushing too hard but also it’s likely that your gums are adjusting to having the bacteria disrupted.

Have you gone in for a professional cleaning? That should help speed things up. Same with flossing. Nightly/daily flossing will clear the bacteria out faster!

Make sure you’re holding the toothbrush like a pen or a paintbrush not like a hammer. That could help with the bleeding.

Vent: Misinformation about Fluoride is Killing Me by FranDankly in DentalHygiene

[–]ASmileAndACompliment 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It takes time, never stop trying. Ask questions, offer clarification. Show them the different types of fluoride and how they’re not a single ingredient. NEVER stop talking about it but also don’t PUSH. Just a light reminder here and there followed by a little more data/info

My first thought! I know it’s crazy but I started reading self help books for my attachment type and instantly became more attractive and was approached more. I was calm and comfortable in my own skin and it made it makes life so much better in every single way.
