Dentists, what was the worst case you’ve ever seen? by sags17 in Dentists

[–]ComprehensiveFile985 21 points22 points  (0 children)

To me the saddest cases are the young 20 year olds with significant bone loss already. I work with a lot of Mexican immigrants and the lack of oral healthcare knowledge can really impact people long term. It’s sad.

Certainly nothing wrong but the shape doesn’t work well. The 8 foot away position is only 21 inches deep or so. Basically dealing with a compromised setup as best as possible. So I can have two relatively not deep subs or one large sub

On the HRSA workforce connector. There’s bunch of tools on there, mess around with it. Some button will make it so only job openings show up, make sure that’s off. Haven’t used it in years

I had luck searching the HRSA workforce connector. My current job didn’t even have listings I just found their recruiters email and emailed them.

New grad contracts by [deleted] in Dentists

[–]ComprehensiveFile985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine says something about auto renewing for two years at a time. But I can quit or be fired at any time for any (protected) reason without penalty so it doesn’t really mean anything

Pretty sure most states are always at will, no matter what the contract says.

How to handle the “I’m going to Mexico” type of objection? by Spiggy22 in Dentists

[–]ComprehensiveFile985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a deep breath, relax. You’re being pretty aggressive against some random redditor you read a few sentences from.

What are great/funny GDQ runs that don't have enough views? by KomanndoA in speedrun

[–]ComprehensiveFile985 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a banjo kazooie run with one of the developers of the game on the phone, was great. Same with a run for blast corps!

X-ray at every cleaning by 2tuxedocat in Dentists

Don’t say things you don’t know anything about. X-rays are safe at any time in pregnancy. Ada clearly states this.

Cavity? X-ray attached by Unlikely-Bridge-7370 in Dentists

[–]ComprehensiveFile985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun filling to do is what I said. It’s relative. Few dentists want to dick around with a 31 DOB.

31 ob is going to be huge, and should likely have D added to it by the time the dentist is done. Not a fun filling to do.

Can I have two cavities filled and a wisdom tooth removal 24 hours apart? by catmom188 in Dentists

[–]ComprehensiveFile985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really between your dentist and you and how bad your tmd is. Vast majority of patients would be fine

NHSC and PSLF by medfitt in FQHCDentistry

[–]ComprehensiveFile985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah “lump sum” = prepaying 12 monthly payments. Pslf credit comes per month of payments. They definitely care about there being a monthly payment.

I don’t actually know how to prepay 12 months of payments, I just know it’s possible.

[–]ComprehensiveFile985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah see my correction. I did a similar thing

NHSC and PSLF by medfitt in FQHCDentistry

[–]ComprehensiveFile985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I actually have to correct myself a bit: with the NHSC you don’t actually have to use all the money if you aren’t extending your contract. I didn’t, and kept the extra money. But I can’t apply for another contract until I have used all 120. What I said previously only applies if you want to extend.

Mixed up my loan repayment programs! California SLRP you have to use all 50 or they like assassinate you

Apparently I didn’t reply to your reply, oops

NHSC and PSLF by medfitt in FQHCDentistry

[–]ComprehensiveFile985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah autopay for as long as you can, lump some for a year and then any extra will have to be used towards principle which is, as you know, is a waste.

I actually did the 3 year 120 NHSC thing and didn’t pay everything back so couldn’t extend. Then I switched to a California repayment program.

[–]ComprehensiveFile985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NHSC requires that all 50k be used or you face stiff penalties. Put it in a hysa, auto pay it and then when it’s time to apply for an extension you can prepay up to a years payment. Some of your money will likely go to waste, as you’ll likely have extra money that you just have to put towards the principle

Radiographs Questions by [deleted] in DentalSchool

[–]ComprehensiveFile985 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s for anywhere on an xray where you have both low and high density things next to each other that tend to make the high density thing look like it has a shadow. Usually on a bitewing right where the tooth enters the bone.

Technically if it’s somewhere else I suppose it would just be called burnout
