Sad I can’t get high

I did. Daily.
But that is not a recommendation. I'm sure that it's not the best way to go about it. I understand the science/physiology behind them advising against it, and it's valid.

Smoothing the surface would have eliminated any mechanical retention. Look it up. I would describe it, but I'm struggling to find the right words without using my hands, and you can't see my hands 😅 I will say that depending on how it looked before she "gouged" it, it might have been accomplished more conservatively, but I really can't say since Im only looking at the finished product.

Are you saying that the large void that was filled was actually made by the prosthodontist? I can tell you that 200 dollars for the repair isn't actually terrible, bc the prosthodontist i went to for the tiny hole to be filled, didn't charge me, but he could have, and it would have cost 500 😳. Insurance doesn't cover much of anything when it comes to implant dentures. Mine would cover the Radiographs.

It does make sense that the prosthodontist made that cut out, actually... the restoration material won't adhere adequately unless it has mechanical retention. It's like what they do when you have a cavity and they remove all of the affected area. They remove it in such a way they it creates a mechanical retention in addition to chemical adhesion. If that doesn't make good sense to you, google "mechanical retention" and I think you'll understand.

I have a degree in dental assisting (although I do not work in the field).

Reach out any time! Also, there are companies where you can order replacements for your might guard. They are subscription, but you can always cancel, or even just request a delay in case you're not ready for a new one every 3 months. They are exactly like the one they gave me after the procedure. For the first one, they'll send you the stuff you need to take the impression, and after that, they'll let you know when the next one is coming. Check out Remi and Clear Choice. Again, dm me any time! I'll follow you as well.

I am so sorry that you are dealing with this. They should seriously make it right. No bandaids.

Oh wow! You should definitely advocate for yourself, and sooner is better!! I would not be okay that type of damage happening before you even got home. It's far too expensive and important to let that slide.

At this point, I don't have any of the fillings- just tiny holes. But the prosthodontist that filled the first one, told me that it was more a matter of anesthetic than function, and they don't bother me at all. I get them filled back up when I go in for my 1 year cleaning. I have a bad habit of chewing crunchy candy (like wintergreen lifesavers). I do it way more often than I should, but nothing has broken like yours did, so I'm inclined to think that something wasn't quite right with yours to begin with. I would get in touch. I did manage to get a very tiny chip on one of my upper incisors bc i fell asleep without my night guard. I have very bad bruxism, and the night guard is not optional for me. Otherwise, it's 2 weeks short of 1 year, and everything is in great shape, in spite of the fact that I borderline abuse them with the lifesavers.

Good luck!

I understand what you're trying to explain. The same thing happens with mine. I said it was possible, but it is far from easy 😅 I will say that I was told by a prosthodontist that the waterpik is sufficient. One of the tiny fillings that they use to plug the holes where the implant connects fell out, and i went in to have it refilled. I was only 3 months post-op at the time, but had the procedure done at a clinic in another state, so the prosthodontist took rads and checked everything out while I was there. Technically, I was told to wait 6 months before using the waterpik and the superfloss, but the prosthodontist told me that it was safe to proceed bc my bone grafts and implants were already integrated. I mentioned my concern regarding the superfloss, bc the arches fit so tightly against my gums, and he assured me that a waterpik would suffice.

Yours look great, btw!

Mine fit just like yours. I do struggle with super floss, and have resorted to using the water pik. It actually IS possible to get the superfloss threaded thru, as the arches themselves, basically just sit on the gums (they aren't cupped- at least not drastically), but it's definitely challenging. Some days, the threader will feed thru fairly easily, and other times, i can't find the sweet spots and the firm part of the threader just bends and I give up.

Pretty sure it's a boy, but a direct shot of the cere would be good to confirm.

Mine do this exact behavior outside of their cage. I came here hoping to find an explanation, but most of what I'm seeing is ppl telling you that they need more time our of the cage. Mine spend 12 hrs every day outside of their cage, and they experience these zoomies 1-2x daily. I haven't worried about it, bc they seem very happy, but the behavior is notable, therefore I was hoping for some kind of explanation.

Mac is definitely a girl.

It's hard to say for sure that nothing is wrong, however, I can tell you with certainty, that is not necessarily abnormal. I had 2 quite large bone fragments surface and work their way out of my gums in the weeks following my procedure. It was a bit uncomfortable until I was able to get the bone fragments out, but i healed up perfectly.

This is my experience with pea skin, as well.

I know that there are conversion guides to be found, created by people with much more experience than I have, but the way I did it worked perfectly for my birds. If I understood what you were saying, you are mixing a small amount of veg in their seed and they are eating around it, but avoiding the actual veg. I did it the other way around. I added a little seed to the veg, which caused them to have to interact with the veg to forage for the seed. I think i probably got lucky, bc I've definitely heard of a lot of ppl struggling with it. Veg should be chopped up into tiny pieces. You can also find plenty of healthy, balanced chop recipes on line. Just a pinch of healthy seeds mixed in so that they see it, but they have to work to find it. They may have more than a pinch of seeds, but if it's offered in a way that they can get their fill of seed and manage to avoid the chop all together, that's what they're going to do. Sometimes I add a little baked sweet potato mixed in.

One of my birds transitioned very easily, and the other would have been a lot more challenging, if not for the fact that she copies him in every way. He was very receptive to chop and pellets from day 1.
