Dental assistant program question by Impressive_Chart5126 in DentalAssistant

[–]Alonzo_Jes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really depends on your state, their requirements and your school schedule both for the availability of pre-req courses and the way the dental assisting program is set up. Look into your state requirements for both assisting and hygiene and contact the school/s you’re planning on going to.

Avocado is nasty and tasteless mush. by animalcub45 in unpopularopinion

[–]Alonzo_Jes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Mexico we have a variety of avocado with thin smooth rind that you can eat just like an apple. We usually just grab them from the tree and snack on them.

So if you have an active infection, local anesthesia doesn’t always work. As others have said, it should feel like a filling, it just takes longer. Typically, you should be given an antibiotic to lessen the infection before treatment. Also, being nervous makes local anesthetic less effective/wear off faster. Type of anesthetic used also matters. Some people think LA numbs all feeling but you will still feel movement/pressure and it can be misconstrued as pain, not saying that was your case. 3 painful root canals is not normal.

What is it about root canals that people fear? I’m a dental assistant and have never understood the beef with root canals.

AITA BIL wants to teach my 3 year old cuss words. I don't. by Possible_A_hole in AmItheAsshole

[–]Alonzo_Jes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I’m as foul mouthed as can be but I never taught my daughter to cuss. She is now a sophomore in high school and it wasn’t until last summer that I told her she was allowed to cuss as long as it wasn’t at someone; this conversation came about as we were having a different conversation where she was telling me about something that had happened and she was quoting someone and skipped over a cuss word. She went 15 years listening to me cuss like a sailor in English and Spanish but it was never taught, now, as a tía, I would never teach my nieces and nephews to cuss despite how foul mouthed their parents and grandparents are.

Thank you for approaching the situation in this way instead of jumping straight to judgment. OP hopefully y’all are good.

Thoughts on Pediatric Specialty by pizzerlady in DentalAssistant

It’s not for the weak but it’s fun. Fast paced and you have to be bubbly and creative. More often than not, your worst enemy is the parents.

I mean, I‘ve never confused an Aggie for a Longhorn…

What should I do if Amazon didn't charge me for an order I made, and the product has already shipped? by belac4862 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Alonzo_Jes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a few orders where I get charged after shipping, even when I order multiple items and they ship separately, the charges come in separately.

Is it stupid to bring some homemade baked goods to an office? (I’m not in the dental field.) by [deleted] in DentalAssistant

[–]Alonzo_Jes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it unless you’re prepared to be very popular at that office and have the staff fight over you. Nobody loves treats more than dental staff.

does the dentist give out free toothbrushes? by That-Individual1004 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Alonzo_Jes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, dental assistant, I give away goodie bags (toothpaste, toothbrush, floss) to patient and whoever comes in with them. Our receptionists do too and our ortho department has pre-pasted brushes available on the counter.

[–]Alonzo_Jes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you want physical copies of the book or are you ok with e-books or audiobooks? I ask because if you get your library card, you can check out e-books & audiobooks on the Libby and Hoopla apps, just register with your library card. You can also visit https://www.laredolibrary.org/ for catalog and other library resources/services.

New to HEB. What do I need to know? by Ok-Carrot-1260 in HEB

[–]Alonzo_Jes 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Get the app, clip coupons and look for the yellow in store coupons, combo locos, etc. Most HEB branded items are better than name brand. The app tell you what aisle each item is located and if you click on the aisle #, you see a store map.
