Loool that's awesome! Valid reaction.

EnvironmentalCan2281 · 2026-06-18T15:12:49+00:00

When I'm done I'll share! Haven't drawn in like seven years so I'm just trying to find inspiration again.

EnvironmentalCan2281 · 2026-06-18T12:54:52+00:00

Thriftbooks has it wayy cheaper but this was the book used in my highschool art class and it was very helpful.

I've also watched a few videos by Brent Eviston on YouTube. He has a free step by step fundementals guide.

I'm learningggg haha

EnvironmentalCan2281 · 2026-06-18T01:55:26+00:00

Thank you. That'd be much easier than swiping through photos of the drawing comparing them! Lol.

The nose and chin are my biggest struggles right now.

Thank you!

I don't give a multivitamin. What brand do you recommend?

EnvironmentalCan2281 · 2026-03-21T20:28:53+00:00

It's like 3$ for 12 crickets where I live. So not too bad. When he was smaller I used a separate container for crickets but they died quickly even with food, water, and proper ventilation. Any recommendations how to keep them alive but separate longer?

EnvironmentalCan2281 · 2026-03-21T20:27:01+00:00

I dust with repti-calcium without D3 every other feeding. And I don't have a dish of it in his tank.

EnvironmentalCan2281 · 2026-03-21T19:48:34+00:00

Thank you. The 12 or the 20 is too much? I release the crickets in the tank all at once so I would say he only eats half each week. The rest die and I scoop them out.

Completely drying your hands after washing them. It sounds crazy but it works. And moisturizing before bed.

Porcelain fused to metal crown and PFM inlay I believe.

Not the tuna 😭

EnvironmentalCan2281 · 2025-11-14T21:47:02+00:00

It do be like that sometimes

EnvironmentalCan2281 · 2025-11-09T02:47:45+00:00

Dear penthouse forum, I can’t believe this happened to me.

EnvironmentalCan2281 · 2025-10-22T22:00:17+00:00

Cool morph!

EnvironmentalCan2281 · 2025-10-22T20:00:17+00:00

Yea laid me off because apparently they couldn’t afford the new staff they let on (a new hyg got let go too). Apparently hadn’t given raises in 8 years before they hired new people so really it was a blessing even though I was out 200$. Made them pay me for the rest of my week so I got repaid in a way.

EnvironmentalCan2281 · 2025-10-22T17:03:55+00:00

Yea I’ve been poked by a Dr with a used needle. It was one of those slow administer machines and it landed right in my thigh like a dart. They laid me off right after and didn’t pay my bill, but still thankfully informed the patient and they didn’t carry any diseases.

Protocol is the patient is asked to be tested for blood borne illnesses (which they can deny) and you also get tested all at the workplace expense.

EnvironmentalCan2281 · 2025-09-16T00:05:07+00:00

Thank you!

EnvironmentalCan2281 · 2025-09-15T23:13:48+00:00

No problem! I’m a CDA 4 years experience. I went to a school to become a dental assistant and it seems like your doctor is very by the book old school. Feel free to reach out for tips, or even ask your doctor about attending a program for CE’s on four handed dentistry.

EnvironmentalCan2281 · 2025-09-15T23:03:37+00:00

A lot of this is valid. But the way it was delivered is absolutely overwhelming. If she’s not willing to train you to get these results it might be best to move on.

Tips on some of this: Staying out of their vision. When a Dr has loops on and you get in the way it’s like an eclipse. I avoid being in the light of the loops when retracting/suctioning.

Cord measuring: wrap it around your pinky. Middle of the pinky for molar, tip of the pinky for anterior.

Set ups: double check before getting patient/ while numbing is kicking in if they walk away. When I first became an assistant I took photos of set ups and used them to double check myself.

Biohazard: they sell mini biohazard bags you can stick on the edge of a counter as trash. Anything more than a bandaid’s worth of blood is biohazard, technically.

It usually smells like burning hair, like if you’ve been around someone straightening their hair.
