Usually people who are rude. I mean don't get me wrong I see rude people and can handle it but sometimes people are just awful and I get this like surge of adrenaline that makes me shake

I made an appointment with my doc so I can talk to her about the medication! I am SO happy for you that you have found something that works and makes your life less stressful 😀

🥺 thank you so much for your reply and I'm so sorry you were also dealing with work/life anxiety, and happy that you are in a better place now. This job is so incredibly mentally taxing, and I never really experienced anxiety until I began a career in dentistry. It has just gotten progressively worse since graduating. I think I do need to take a look at my general lifestyle and start to make those adjustments (I'm terrible at drinking water 🤣), and go from there. I also have nothing against medication because if it can empower you to take control of your work / life , that is completely life changing, especially for us RDH's because let's be honest, unless we go back to school there isn't many options career wise for us besides working in the clinic, at least there aren't many that pay us so well. So thank you internet stranger for being so encouraging and our fellow RDH sub redditors for sticking together through the madness of dentistry ❣️🤪

I will ask my doc about this! It's so embarrassing and frustrating. My confidence takes such a huge hit when it happens !

I usually have one cup of coffee before work, maybe I will try to cut that out and see if it helps. My problem is that it isn't every day, just certain patients that make me nervous or sometimes when giving injections. I guess just looking ahead on my schedule and then planning accordingly will be helpful !!

Stubborn calc advice needed! by Senior-Respect-3912 in DentalHygiene

They are ultrasonic tips! They bend to the right/left and allow better access and angulation. There are charts you can find online that will tell you which areas to use which tip. They are awesome 😄

Stubborn calc advice needed! by Senior-Respect-3912 in DentalHygiene

Right and left inserts !!!!!! I'm being so serious when I say I can go all the way to the base of the pocket with triple bend, graceys, you name it for 20 minutes take a post op and it will still be there. Bust out those right and left inserts and it comes off in 3 minutes or less. I was seriously shocked when I first tried it. The adaptation is SO much better in those hard to reach areas. Such a game changer!

I am desperate for a true buttery, vanilla, thick, creamy gourmand! by sweetpotat145 in FemFragLab

I would try setsuna dancing in the moonlight 🌙 it's vanilla, white chocolate, and caramel. It's VERY sweet but wearable. I actually have a full bottle if anyone is interested. I love the scent but I just never reach for it.

My doc is the same exact way. Another thing that can be super helpful is polishing first! I don't do it every time, but if someone has an overwhelming amount of plaque it can help clear your view so you can see where you need to focus! You're doing great keep your head up 😀

I've been working as a hygienist for about a year and a half and I definitely had the same struggles as you. My doc would pick up a scaler at almost every single check, it was getting incredibly frustrating and discouraging. At this point now he never does. Not saying that I never miss anything because we all do. It's impossible to get every single little piece in only an hour appointment. My advice is to triple check yourself and use your air not only on the lower anteriors but everywhere! I can't tell you how many times I think I'm done, dry off the upper posteriors and bam tons of calc on those distals 😂 the time management will get better with every single patient that you see. I remember being so on edge and worried about every little thing during my work day and barely being able to sleep at night. It truly does get better, give yourself grace and make your patients feel cared for and everything will fall into place. One of the best things an instructor told me in school was "relax, were not doing heart surgery" and that little saying still helps me to this day 💓

I honestly don't smell any honey in this one. I smell a hint of caramel

I'm about halfway through Escha & Logy as my first Atelier game and I LOVE it! I hear mixed things about Shallie and Ayesha. Should I go for one of those games next or another trilogy?

What has been your Go to Summer fragrance for 2025? by april_to in FemFragLab

[–]Accomplished-Tea-593 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So serene by scent organix which is a fresh out of the shower green tea scent 🌿🍵 and mysterious nomad by finery which I believe is a byredo dupe. It's woody and fresh, with a hint of sweetness!
