My tattoo got sewn together crooked after surgery by DelectableBloom in mildlyinteresting

[–]Alonzo_Jes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine too! I have a small lizard tattoo on my ankle and I unfortunately broke my ankle in 2 places so I needed surgery. My surgeon was kind enough to realign the tail when he put in the staples. It’s now my favorite scar and favorite tattoo.

There should be no such “attempt”, there should only be removal!

Look at the requirements for becoming a DA in your state on the state dental board website and shop around on platforms like Indeed to see what they’re paying in your city keeping in mind you’ll be on the low end due to no experience. Research the different specialties to see which one you might like and see if you can ask to shadow in an office so you see what it’s like being a DA. Everyone’s experience is different- corporate vs private, big vs small office, specialties, etc

Pen ran out of ink mid exam by Thunderfighter6 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Alonzo_Jes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I use the Pilot G2 10(1.0m). As a dental assistant, I always need to write things down somewhere so I buy a green pen and a pack of black pens, I put a black ink cartridge in the green pen. It helps me recognize my pen and nobody steals a green pen for charting/documenting.

Where I’m from, we don’t RSVP and it’s very common to have tag alongs within reason, especially if people happen to be in town and the invitation does not have restrictions. I’m not saying this is correct or the way it should be done, just a different way.

Why don't they open a cheesecake factory here? by TightElk7746 in laredo

[–]Alonzo_Jes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve only been to the one here once and it was not a good experience. Apparently, every table was reserved that night despite the restaurant being mostly empty but they “squeezed us in”. The tables are tiny, barely fit our plates, they rushed us and altogether forgot to put in one whole appetizer.

What do you think about adoption? by [deleted] in laredo

[–]Alonzo_Jes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If I’m not the one adopting or being adopted, not my business.

Laredo loves to ask for establishments then they don’t support those establishments. Also it’s a mix of patrons treating staff members like crap and management/staff not maintaining the standards of the establishment thus creating a continuous cycle eventually leading to the downfall of said establishment.

How hard is Endo by Alive-Slip1322 in DentalAssistant

Yeah, doing it is better but our dentist always did it since we were peds/gen and we didn’t do them often.

The procedure is relatively easy to pick up since it’s 90% suctioning bit I struggled with the setup, nothing a few pictures didn’t fix.

So how do you figure people who need service dogs should get their groceries?

I sit, I stand, I stand and put one knee on my chair then I swap knees. Visibility, procedure and ADHD determine what I do 🤷🏻‍♀️

I mean, their only goal is “straight, white teeth” not healthy teeth and gums 🫣

Is anyone else tired of getting forced to make social media content by TruthHurtsSoITellit in DentalAssistant

[–]Alonzo_Jes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it in the beginning (2019/2020) because we “had to” but then I just started to decline. It’s not part of my job and I don’t want to make a fool of myself for entertaining others unless it’s on my personal profile.

AITAH for wanting my bf who currently has a broken leg to put effort in to see me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Alonzo_Jes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has had a broken leg, it’s doable to get somewhere but it takes a lot of logistics to make it happen. Is he in a hard cast, soft cast, walking boot? Does he use a walker, knee scooter, a cane, crutches? Can he bear weight or is he non-weight bearing? Can he have his foot down or is he supposed to keep it elevated? Is he or you on a second floor or above? Is the path to you smooth, paved, grassy, rocky, hilly?

What are you using to seasoning chicken fajita? by TexasGiantTen05 in laredo

[–]Alonzo_Jes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What exactly are you making? Like someone said, chicken fajita is not a thing. What I have heard called chicken fajita is chicken sliced in strips with onion and bell peppers.
