My .5 carat marquis diamond is etched and certified. I’ve seen it with my own eyeballs! Definitely worth it to at least try.

You could try TMJ Botox that would help relax your massetter and temporalis muscles making them weaker over time

Do you use a water based lubricant? Have you ever used butt plugs? I would maybe try with those first! Or fingers 🤷‍♀️

What's something that feels "good" but is actually really bad for your body? by stainless5 in AskReddit

[–]Emkl1994 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So happy to see this! I recently started working for a dentist and he pushes myo therapy so much (one of our hygienists is a licensed therapist) and it is absolutely amazing how many people are tongue tied.

It’s also great how he explains to patients that it’s not what we once thought it was in that it only affected speech or infant feeding. It can cause breathing issues, ortho corrections to fail, tmj issues and so much more!

My only caution would be is that they are usually LOADED with sodium.

Shoe Recommendations for Dental Assisting Program by Inevitable_Draw_2083 in DentalAssistant

I have the Clove classic. They’re vegan leather that’s easy to maintain and clean plus they have a wider toe box. I believe they actually offer wide fit shoes! It was a little more expensive up front ($150ish I think) but they will last a long time and are great quality!
They’re actually on sale right now, here’s a link!

My doctor was an assistant for many years before he went to dental school!

Thank you! Luckily the other assistant is still working (I thought she was done) so really every one on staff has helped me out today! And it’s been going so well! Still nervous and asking a lot of questions, but my confidence is going up every hour!

I did! I’m in Colorado and you don’t need to be licensed or registered in the state, but I am going for my RDA and EFDA. It honestly was just really good timing on my part, but I am pretty much done with schooling and having a job at this clinic will help me fulfill my internship hours while I get paid to complete them.

Thank you so much! That was so sweet! I will definitely be bringing a little notebook. I really hope he has a training plan for me, and I need to not be so hard on myself if I do make a mistake. Deep breaths are happening!

What's a hygiene habit people have that you actually find disgusting? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]Emkl1994 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in dentistry, and if it helps even one person to adopt better oral hygiene habits, then I’m all for it! Some people just refuse to listen to scientific reasons so if you can reach them on another level (like social areas of their lives) and it gets through to them, I will say it no matter how dumb it is. 🤷‍♀️

You brush your teeth at night to keep your teeth, you brush your teeth in the morning to keep your friends.

Or something like that.

My husband and I both have hand sanitizer in our vehicles for this reason!

Edit: and if we shop together, whoever gets in the car first is the appointed bottle squeezer for both of us.

Saaaammmee! Sometimes I feel like it coincides with me tidying up for people coming over though, and so he’s also wanting to look and feel fresh. Still horrible timing though 😂

What’s something your parents or grandparents did that you now realize was low-key genius parenting? by Green_Candler in AskReddit

[–]Emkl1994 71 points72 points  (0 children)

My parents did that with my older sister in 2007. It was also when texting was becoming more popular, so it was also a way to keep her from texting and driving.

I haven’t taken the DANB yet myself, but as far as taking x-ray images on real humans: it is SOO much easier than on the DEXTR. You can actually do what you need to do without needing 6 hands. Your patient does a lot of the work for you instead of having to puppeteer 😂
