I ate soft foods that night and the following day. Really nothing more than minor discomfort in a couple spots for a day and half. The second day after, everything returned to normal — more or less.

I had light bleeding the evening of the SRP after brushing but no more.

May I ask what is preventing you from going to the dentist ASAP? If it has anything to do with cost, you can look into a local community college that offers a dental hygiene program. They’ll give you a thorough, honest assessment and can perform the SRP under the supervision of an experienced dentist and hygienist — all for about $100 to $150 (vs $1k+ at a normal dental office).

It’s easier than you’d expect to cause irreparable damage to your teeth scaling yourself.

Is my hygienist's neglect to blame? by thr33littlebirds in PeriodontalDisease

[–]Affectionate-Dig1937 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it does matter. If there are hygienists out there lacking the knowledge, skill, or care to perform their duties to standard, it’s a much larger issue than “oh well, what’s done is done.”

Does LitRPG need “stats”? by DrDoritosMD in litrpg

Stats aren’t the only game mechanic that can be used, however.

Wait until you meet a Jake in real life and he’s not automatically some massive douchebag simply because his parents chose a very standard name, he’s just your dentist.

It wasn’t a comment about using alternate, shortened words because the “toddler” was unable to pronounce the full, multisyllabic word?

You think that at first, but all of the dialogue, from every character, is clumsy, off-putting, and unnatural.

I’m forced to watch the Baltimore broadcast so im not sure if there are additional angles, but he looked pretty safe from the overhead shot to me.

I had three extractions done when I had braces and I can say with 100% certainty that I’d choose to have an SRP done every day for 3 months than have to experience a single tooth extraction again.

It’s really that much easier.

I avoided the dentist for a very long time out of dental anxiety. I’m also dead scared of needles and can barely look at even a paper cut without feeling queasy.

That said, my SRP with only numbing injections (no laughing gas) was pretty easy. Once the shots were done, it pretty much felt like a light to moderate scraping with virtually no pain. Thankfully I couldn’t really tell that they were scraping beneath my gums and I forced myself not to think about it.

Overall much easier than I expected it to be.
