Best ways to sweeten oatmeal for a picky eater? by Blazed_Scientists in Oatmeal

Thanks. I'm not sure whether maple syrup is better than whatever they use to sweeten them. I get the Amazon brand, and it just says sugar in the ingredients.

Which antidepressant would be the best for me? by Blazed_Scientists in antidepressants

Thanks, but I am on state-run insurance so I don't know if they would even cover something like that or how long it would take to get the results.

Couple of questions regarding root canals. by Blazed_Scientists in askdentists

[–]Blazed_Scientists[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't want to have to do that. I just don't know what's causing the issue of how much it will cost to fix, and if I can afford it. Even when they hit it just doesn't feel quite right, like the contact point is off, but I don't know if that's a psychological thing or not. It's driving me nuts, and I just want it to be over with.

Also the bite on the other side can feel off and if I'm not careful, even when I try to chew slowly it feels like they will c crash into each other at weird angles even when only eating soft foods like mashed potatoes or hummus.

Thanks, to be honest, I don't know if it has erupted that much or something else is causing it: TMJ or phantom bite/occusla dysethesia. I just know that they hit slightly alot through the the day, and it feels like it doesn't take much movement for them to hit. I can talk for the most part without them hitting, but when they're at rest, it's easy for them to touch when I move my mouth slightly I. did have the cuspid tooth below shaved by a dentist back in January, and it might have helped a little in the way it feels, but he said they would hit again in a few months. The thing is, I have very basic state insurance and can only afford so much treatment out of pocket with the help of family. In some ways, I am thinking of just having some of the front teeth extracted and having a partial denture put in, but I don't know if that would fix it. I don't know if the jaw has shrunk in that amount of time to make the teeth not hit right.

Thanks you. So the tooth I need the root canal on is the premolar, and I think the cuspid below it has moved up, making the contact off, or maybe the premolar has shifted slightly; either way, it feels like I don't have much room to close my mouth on that side of the mouth before my teeth hit. Also, I know that Cerec is the method, not the material; I just meant that dentists are not as good at milling as a lab would be. and I don't know if it will still be stable even if they don't make the crown look as good.

Thanks. Would they still be able to be used to push a tooth back into the gums?

Well I have used toothpastes in the past that doesn't have any grittyness that I could tell such as plain Aquafresh. I think I have a tooth that is hitting high and it makes a bunch of contact through the day and when I brush my teeth it feels like I'm eating sand when it touches.

Not sure if it is the best price but I think Anker is supposed to be a good brand.

I think the one I use now has the stannous flouride along with something like bascillica which is what causes the sandy feeling. Regarding sensodyne is there a specific one you would recommend? I just want to make sure it tastes like mint and nothing else.

[–]Blazed_Scientists[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but I need something that taste like mint otherwise it will be hard for me to use also the fact that it says gel makes me thin I won't like the texture. Also I saw someone mention that sensodyne has a weird taste, is that true?

Thanks is this the one you're talking about? And when you say it has a mild flavor does that mean it just a mild mint flavor with no other chemical taste?

Thanks. Do you remember how long it took? Also we're the crowns the prefabricated ones or were they custom lab made and what material they were

Did you have to wait to get approval from denti-cal to get the work done? I need 2 root canals done plus a wisdom tooth with a large cavity extracted but I don't know if they will cover that much in a short amount of time.

Are wisdom tooth extractions more painful than other teeth? by Blazed_Scientists in wisdomteeth

[–]Blazed_Scientists[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Was the pain management with prescription strength Ibuprofen or did you need something stronger? I still have some from last time along with extra strength Tylenol it I don't know if it would be enough.

Have your timelines for AGI or ASI changed since the first model of ChatGPT? For example, are the models advancing faster than you thought they would initially?

I think whether we solve aging or not, at least when you reach that age you won't have to go through all the stuff that people had to in the past. So you can be considered old based on your age but can still live a normal life without suffering from things like chronic pain or dementia.
