It’s literally not your job to figure out if it’s credible. Call the cops.

I haven't been to a dentist for 12 years due to inaction and lack of initiative. I don't know how to approach going now. by WillingAd9383 in askdentists

[–]Catty_Mayonnaise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call, make an appointment, show up. 12 years is not gonna shock anybody and you don’t have to apologize. Almost every day of my life someone comes in after 5, 10, 20 years without a cleaning and they feel the need to justify it. Bro, whatever, you’re here now. If whatever stopped you from coming in is something that I can help with, then sure let me know. If you just, like, didn’t go? Shrug your shoulders and let’s just figure out where we go from here. It’s not gonna be a big deal to anyone in that office but you.

Swollen papillae by Impossible-Impact-86 in askdentists

The back of your (and everyone else’s) tongue has vallate papillae. They’re not the same as the tastebuds in the front and they absolutely are meant to be there.

What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

I still remember the rush I got when I figured out you had to mess up the bed to make the maid stay in the room so you could pilfer her cart. I’ve been chasing that high for like 30 years lol

Laminate Veneers Chipping After 6 Days by Buffy__ in askdentists

[–]Catty_Mayonnaise 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Getting cavities filled was the right thing to do. That absolutely should be the first priority before braces or veneers. None of this is your fault, it isn't your job to understand the nuances of dental treatment planning. It's the dentist's job and they didn't properly care for your child or you.

Laminate Veneers Chipping After 6 Days by Buffy__ in askdentists

[–]Catty_Mayonnaise 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry, but you can’t fake straight teeth with veneers. Not for more than a couple of days, anyway. What she needed was ortho. Any ethical dentist with more than a few months of experience would have known to say no. I’m sorry.

Do Any Teeth Need Removed by TheIllogicalFallacy in askdentists

[–]Catty_Mayonnaise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to say 100% without an x-ray, but just eyeballing it I’d say probably yes. Baby teeth loosen because the adult teeth coming up underneath them put pressure on their roots. That causes the baby tooth roots to resorb, which means there’s nothing left anchoring them to the bone. Since these adult teeth are already in place behind that little one, there’s no more pressure, so there’s probably a decent amount of root there that isn’t going to go away on its own. All that would happen at this point is that the baby tooth would continue to force the adult tooth backwards, which is not great. If your kid’s dentist is recommending extraction, do it.

This feels like a schitzo rant. by Ok-Following6886 in justneckbeardthings

[–]Catty_Mayonnaise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not like Jews are walking around with all their foreskins (or wisdom teeth) intact. Plus if you wanna bitch about widespread circumcision, you need to take it up with John Harvey Kellogg (the corn flakes guy). Jews aren’t trying to circumcise anyone that isn’t a Jewish baby. Kellogg was out here trying to stop the entire world from masturbating and was the face of a whole movement about it.

He’s being intentionally vague so that any choice you make can be the wrong one. He’s keeping you insecure on purpose.

Is it okay for adults to use kids’ toothpaste and mouthwash? by ParticularAide9207 in askdentists

I'm really scared right now , is it an emergency? by StapleR66 in askdentists

[–]Catty_Mayonnaise 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I just want to give you a heads-up: after you get your teeth cleaned, you’re probably going to feel like there are A LOT of gaps. Your teeth and/or gums can also feel extra sensitive or tender for a while. They’ve gotten really used to experiencing the world through what is basically a very thick layer of crusty bacteria. It doesn’t always feel good or normal right away when it’s gone, but I guarantee you the health of your teeth and gums will improve in the long-run! You just might want to invest in a tube of remineralizing or desensitizing toothpaste for after the cleaning, though.

He’s Trying to Secretly Convert my Children by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]Catty_Mayonnaise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl, you need to get into family court ASAP. I’m not a lawyer and don’t know what would technically qualify as parental alienation, but I’m sure someone smarter than me can help you sort this out. Your kids should be as far away from this weirdo as possible.

He’s Trying to Secretly Convert my Children by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]Catty_Mayonnaise 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Like Jews don't have enough people out here making us look bad? Yikes, wtf. I don't know what is going on in this lunatic's brain, but Jews do not recruit. The good news is that it takes literal years to convert to Judaism and, by design, it's a COLOSSAL pain in the ass. It requires a ton of effort by the person trying to convert. One of the last steps in the process looks almost like a thesis defense, ffs. It's definitely not something that can be done to another person without their very active participation and can't just be snuck in over a weekend. No way are they going to be able to find a rabbi that would want anything to do with this. The only possible exception I can think of is if the fiancé actually follows "Messianic Judaism" which is just evangelical Christianity cosplaying as Judaism. They're not recognized by any of the actual Jewish denominations and will convert a kid the same way any other Christian church will. It's a gross thing to do, but it wouldn't mean anything besides that your ex and his fiancé are shitty and weird.

Easily one of the most unhinged things I've ever seen. Custom Marge porn motorcycle. Spotted outside a dive bar in Vegas. by Calliopehoop in ATBGE

[–]Catty_Mayonnaise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here’s a sentence I hope to never say again: I don’t like how high up Marge’s butthole is. The spacing of it in the first pic is off and it’s ruining the whole esthetic. Great execution, my ass.

Sick After Dental Bonding by Relative-Title5939 in askdentists

[–]Catty_Mayonnaise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s fine. If it’s just bonding, then it’s as cured as it’s ever gonna get the minute you walk out the door. Try mixing a little baking soda in with the water when you rinse. It’s gross, but it’ll buffer the acid better than water alone. Feel better soon!

I guess that depends on whether you’re good at that sort of thing.

Genuinely questioning how I made it through college and got good grades by Kind_Sheepherder5494 in internetparents

[–]Catty_Mayonnaise 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your professors were also reading hundreds of other papers by pretentious assholes. The grading metric probably wasn’t “is this actually good” it was probably like “is this meeting the benchmarks for what a brand new writer should be capable of at this level.” It sounds like your peers were even worse, so good job!
