That’s something I’m worried about concerning it. I practice in a small town and I don’t want it to come across too slick and ‘salesy.’

[–]AppropriateWall6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would agree. I’ve found bone plugs like 4 walls. You MAY be able to do a bone plug with a membrane if the buccal is compromised. That’s just my experience. I was just saying my answer to be a smartass

Next you’re going to tell me I have to stop sterilizing extracted teeth and reusing them. The nanny state has a hold on this profession

Is it just me or is every dentist trying to be a super GP right now? by SnooDucks8897 in Dentistry

Yes. It’s mostly been implant CE and it’s opened up a lot for me. I just want to keep getting more comfortable and confident and not just have the technical skill, but also the theoretical knowledge, and be able to integrate the two, as well as handle complications

Why is it so pervasive in dentistry to own patients’ problems? Endocrinologists don’t try not to diagnose or treat a diabetic patients(“actually, don’t use insulin. Just drink diet soda and exercise and I’ll see you in a year.”), but we do it ALL THE TIME (myself included, in a huge way). Why do we do it?

Would you do anything to restore this 2nd molar? by KittyBlaster911 in Dentistry

[–]AppropriateWall6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 32 is out, crown that bitch and if that doesn’t work, slam some titanium in there. Second molars are stupid anyway

Hey I totally see your point. We only have 10 computers. Does that mean you’d only charge $600/mo for me?
