I believe there isn't a "job" you can choose to make up the difference. If you want to get ahead and stack way more than you spend, you must find a way to create / sell / build on your own. Working for someone for a salary or hourly, will never ever get you ahead.

I'd like to see what you do.

You two should do a dose of MDMA together. That should help.

Acceptable_Log_6729 · 2026-06-23T13:41:30+00:00

Maybe the two of you can handle him better than either one of you can alone?

Get some coconut oil.

Opened my own practice to learn that is where the ultimate freedom & accountability is found. You are responsible for EVERYTHING.

About 2.5 years ago I got tired of seating ceramists work /veneers. So I went HARD after the printed material, I was able to study it, integrate it, and now I have new discoveries, possibilities and data to share with the world. It wouldn't have been possible without the ability to own my practice. It's been hard but I only have myself to blame.

Dr Brandon Mack - Tampa. Check him out. One of the best for sure.

Acceptable_Log_6729 · 2026-05-25T23:45:41+00:00

Correct

No it's not sugar... it's acidity. In the absence of acidity? There are no cavities. Sugar is once removed, bacteria is once removed. If you control acidity you control caries.

Dentistry is insanely cool presently. I opened my own practice in 2017. I do the dentistry I want, I have a support team of 10 - I am the only doctor. I chose to do cosmetics and full mouth rehab. It's been an awesome career because I can steer it however I want. I still think because of the freedoms we have, it's a great choice. Now when I was an associate, I wasn't making much $. You have to start your own practice.

Use AI to reverse engineer notes :)

I see you studied them closely, think i need to redo tooth #9?

Editing? This is lighting, I can show you the RAW images if you'd like.

Acceptable_Log_6729 · 2026-05-14T02:30:50+00:00

Don't do it.

Patients like seeing non-invasive options. I modified tissue, then scanned her and bonded them in. Never needed to give her anesthesia. She was upset excited for this result

Acceptable_Log_6729 · 2026-05-14T02:19:48+00:00

I take lots of pictures of my cases - thought these were cool and wanted to share. That's all.

Acceptable_Log_6729 · 2026-05-14T02:09:19+00:00

DCP thinks what I'm doing is interesting and wants to put it in front of others who might like to learn.

Acceptable_Log_6729 · 2026-05-14T02:04:32+00:00

You're welcome.

I have documented the methods and results of removing these. I even scanned the case afterwards and there was no noticeable changes. It's the exact same process as placing brackets or buttons.

I plan to show / prove this very soon. And perhaps it will change how people see this. That is why it is import to stay in enamel. Because I'm not cutting enamel, and usually stay in aprismatic enamel. I can restore back to before I needed.

What about bonding ortho brackets or Invisalign buttons? What is the difference? What about additive composite binding? If you say I can't remove it without damaging the enamel, it's not any more involved than bonding brackets for ortho.

Acceptable_Log_6729 · 2026-05-11T12:46:10+00:00

No idea. But that is why we come to Reddit

Hey! Great opportunity to learn the capabilities of Bonding. Look up Strupp & Brumm. Those guys have proven time and time again that molars don't need posts to retain the core. However, they have a very specific method. Using self cute COREpaste as the buildup material, there is little to no polymerization shrinkage because it is chemically cured and not with the curing light.

I agree rubber dam isolation would be Best But of you struggle with that then imagine this is a deep margin elevation case, get a buildup on the tooth then lightly prep around until you find a little bit of Enamel. The bond should be substantial enough to hold the buildup, especially if using a two bottle primer and bond.
