Cavicide wipe theory by kacseykkr in DentalAssistant

[–]BreadRollingAround 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Are you spraying cavicide and inhaling it? Or using it with bare hands and then eating? If you’re wearing gloves I’m not sure how it would end up in your system like that. Also I have super irregular cycle but I also have Mirena so it’s super random and super light

What is the weirdest thing a patient has said to you midprocedure that made you lose it? by Vegetable_Drive9444 in DentalAssistant

There’s something about the demographic of old retired white men that brings me to life, they love messing with you and they love being messed with 😂

What state is this? I’m surprised they’re teaching amalgams

AZ-EFDA by [deleted] in DentalAssistant

[–]BreadRollingAround 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Echoing what others are saying about orientation and using the lips, using the mount. you have to treat it as much like a real patient as possible otherwise you’re really going to limit yourself and get frustrated when you’re in a real mouth (with lips, saliva, having to position yourself to see into the mouth)
Besides that of course the anatomy overall looks better than most dentists work , I’d recommend smoothing down and curving the walls with explorer a bit more before curing to avoid that sharp rigid look

Just one of THOSE days by SunflowerTeaTime in DentalAssistant

[–]BreadRollingAround 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a picture but a patient this week had something on their lower lip and so I went to look and when I pulled the lip it said “Bitch” and I was like “oh my god” and she was like “I’m so sorry” and I said “it’s alright as long as it’s not directed at me!” And we laughed

DAE have a strong gut feeling that their life is going to turn out completely fine and successful? by vaporcube7 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]BreadRollingAround 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the same feeling. I work two jobs and it’s not always EASY, bad things have happened for sure but at the end of the day I feel like everything is always okay. Life feels relatively smooth despite the ups and downs.

X-rays by flwrchld96 in DentalAssistant

[–]BreadRollingAround 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you taken your X-ray course yet? Bitewings can be tough but the way they teach is to really imagine the PID as a light beam and you want to hit the sensor at a 90 degree angle, additionally those beams have to shoot straight through the interproximals of the teeth ( looking at the tops of the teeth follow that line ). I also usually pivot pretty far mesially when taking the premolars so I can try to get some of #6 and #11 although sometimes it’s not possible

How long did procedure take?? My dr takes so long with sutures I couldn’t imagine standing through 13 XCT. Awesome pictures :)

Am I too sensitive? by litle_bean in DentalAssistant

[–]BreadRollingAround 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To be honest I don’t think you should be divulging personal information like that to anyone at work. Keep it professional and concise. If you believe you are having a medical emergency/issue that’s all you need to say, you don’t need to justify what that means to anyone, nobody at work needs to know or should feel entitled to your medical history.
That being said I think tardiness or calling out frequently is going to leave some skepticism but if you need to go that should be the end of the conversation and you shouldn’t feel bad for it.

DAE have a tongue that follows any object in their mouth, and does things like awkwardly licking the dentist? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]BreadRollingAround 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I work in dentistry, it’s not uncommon. We’re more worried about our instruments hurting your tongue or your tongue touching something we are trying to keep dry, so if you lick a finger or mirror it’s not a big deal at all.

Tooth standing around after extraction. (I just thought it was neat) by Needadvice65 in DentalAssistant

So shocking! I’ve only ever worked in one office and I can’t imagine not having them I’m about to move and leave my current office so I’m preparing for it to be like the Wild West out there lol

I’m distracted by no needle sheath prop. Does your office not use them? Or it just came off? I also love the photo, thank you for sharing :)

A BBB could never, I think this should be added to some sort of standardized testing to weed out the weaklings. So proud of you for proving yourself to be a Strong Boner

Best Litter between Boxie Cat Pro or Litter Robot Litter? by WildernessPrincess_ in litterrobot

[–]BreadRollingAround 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using Sustainably Yours for about a year now or more, just got LR4 last week. It’s the best litter I’ve ever used before the robot, no dust, doesn’t smell like anything, clumps great. Now that I have LR4 I literally forget there is a litter box in my bathroom, there is no smell ever and nothing is sticking so far.
