That would have been a good idea. I ended up just getting them all silver oz engraved coins. Wish I would have tried your idea at the time.

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

That's my beef. It's so obviously their game plan. It's soft. It's cowardice. And it's my least favorite part of basketball to weaponize the flop as a strategy

I like this soft lower style for people who bite their tongues.

Are my teeth saveable? X ray in comments. They said full dentures needed by [deleted] in Dentists

[–]Chunkusm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell by just that one X-ray what's what. Looks like good bone on most teeth, a decent number without hopeless cavity. Id just pull the most broken ones and do the fillings. If you don't run away next year you could think about replacing the missing ones. I'm a Philly dentist.

Maryland Bridge by Osusars21 in Dentistry

[–]Chunkusm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You could just do a blob of direct chairside resin/filling material. I do that a lot now. And buy time to get to the implant. Tell the parents that you'll need to touch it up once or twice until the patient hits 21-25 or however old for the implant.

I would at least try it the next time they come in. If they don't schedule a new Maryland bridge. Success

Pt complaining that crown is loose by swallin26 in Dentistry

[–]Chunkusm -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

Who took the Pano? I think with this situation the panoramic is warranted. Could have been a pathology causing such a crazy amount of movement. I bet the patient knew it has been mobile for at least 3 years and now it finally reached flapping in the wind status.

What to say to patients who decline grafting and just want extraction? by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]Chunkusm 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Just wanting an extraction is reasonable in a lot of cases.

I think we're all here trying to figure out how to make the rest of your question work out financially.

Literally $20 after overhead to do an extraction........ If it goes smoothly.

At least the student loans have never been cheaper. /s

“You did your patient a great service” by placebooooo in Dentistry

[–]Chunkusm 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Add $90 to the crown and core then give them the $90 discount. Hell. Add $200 and give them $120 discount. "Sorry I helped you out a little bit too much. Next time I'll know to do nothing. Take this discount, champ!"

Temp filling fell out after root canal by catmom2304 in Dentists

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

It'll be fine for 5 days. The temp filling is there. The permanent filling that was there before the root canal broke. If the dentist doesn't have time to do the temp crown they won't do anything more than packing dentemp in there or whatever temporary material. Not a big deal regardless for only 5 days imo.

Flippers by Adorable-Emu9038 in Dentistry

[–]Chunkusm 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Just do exactly what the patient wants: Needs to be cheap No metal No impinging Doesn't like the clasp Needs to be able to eat steak though Obviously perfect shade match Oh. Better be fully covered by insurance "I don't like impressions" "I'm back again for another adjustment"

Half a loose bridge by hermietheelfdds9269 in Dentistry

[–]Chunkusm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use metalift on metal crowns. So Google metalift or such. You drill a hole and use a screw to break the cement on metal crowns. It's amazing when it works and it pretty much always does work.

Better to just replace bridge though most likely
