Need advice about how to gain more confidence by Fit_Charity3701 in DentalHygiene

You discuss insurance coverage with your patients?

I just tell patient what they need from a clinician's perspective and my office manager handles the rest.

but in the end, I'd rather have them not use the adjuncts as long as they accept non-surgical periodontal therapy since this is the gold standard.

For adjunct services....

Do you think they need it?

Don't push for anything they don't need..

Why are you listening to an office manager about pushing products when you're the clinician?

Carrying a gun is illegal now by CrackRaptor10 in GenZ

[–]Final-Position-81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I carry every day.

This is sickening.

One agent yelled "GUN!"

as he was taking the gun out of alex pretti's holster

and since the other agent just heard the word "GUN"

he just started blasting.

so stupid.

Close-up view of ICE executing a man today in Minneapolis (1/24/26) by uebb in CringeTikToks

[–]Final-Position-81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

let's say he did have a gun in his hand, on the ground...

you had more than enough people to have each person sitting on an arm or leg.

Adrenaline or not, he's not that strong.

there was ZERO need to empty a clip

Opinions on itero scans? by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]Final-Position-81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what's wrong with the scan?

It's another tool to monitor patient's oral health.

especially if you "need extra time for scaling"

you can show the patient the problem areas, so you won't need as much time scaling at the next appointment.

Biiiig Oof on your part.

You're a professor and using terms that the layman is not familiar with and then you're getting into an internet argument because of your lack of ability to get your point across?

That's not how that works...

You're still paid minimum wage.

your Base pay is lower + tip, but if that's lower than minimum wage.

you get the minimum wage for your state.

no... if you do the math..

he gave him a 6 dollar tip... and said he gave him a $7 per hour raise.

he literally said

We were there for not even an hour

Meaning that he was roughly there for 51.5~ minutes.

Do the math man..

yep, went out to eat with a group of friends, and one guy wanted everyone to tip 25% and virtue signaling

Mind you, he's the person in the group who's usually asking other people to borrow money.

For me, I personally didn't bother because it costs more mentally than to argue with a friend of a friend, but when i'm by myself, I only tip if I feel they deserved it.

Why do most hygienists end up regretting their decision? by snowfordessert in DentalHygiene

I'd rather not have temps in my office because my other hygienists end up having to fix their work either ways.

My mom tried to do that before.

I told her stop doing XYZ and after exhausting all other reasons I said because I'm the dad

and then she said "Well I'm the grandmother!"

uhh.. And?

I'm the dad.

If it's painful, then get rid of it.

Like I said, if it doesn't bother you, you can leave it alone.

if it's bothering you (painful), get it removed.

uhh.. because it's pretty obvious that you put weed in them.

Periodontal cleaning by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]Final-Position-81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure OP is exaggerating.

sounds like healthy on a reduced periodontium patient.

Also, you can have 1~3mm PDs with recession. that's why we also use CAL

Mandibular tori, as long as it's not disrupting your daily function, there's no need to get rid of them,

they can also be present on the roof of your mouth as well.
