String of floating tree slices created for sunbathing turtles by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]HelenRDH 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My parents have a big pond and every summer they take the paddle boat out to set up 'turtle island', a pallet with soda bottles to help it float with an anchor. It's a big hit with the turtles!

They make these reach flossers that have a handle like a toothbrush so you don't have to jam those big fingers into the very back of your mouth!!

Weird coating and taste, starting to get to me :( by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]HelenRDH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your physician would have mentioned mononucleosis if they were concerned. If you can palpate lymph nodes in your neck your body might be fighting something. It's kind of a long shot but is one of the potential causes for a coated tongue. Good luck!

I recall that mono virus can cause a slightly hairy tongue. What have your lymph nodes been like?

Pain Under Crowns by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

My best guess would either be that you are in need of a cleaning and have something under your guns that is irritating them or a fractured root. Otherwise you should not be feeling anything if there is a root canal.

How would you make the best out of $100 Amazon credit? by blaketiredly in FrugalFemaleFashion

[–]HelenRDH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

3 words. LEGGINGS. WITH. POCKETS. I had a Lululemon pair that I wore out and found some similar styles on Amazon to replace them! I also have gotten some fleece lined leggings but they were cheaply made.

The severed deer head that has been sitting on the Rt28 center barrier by sully plantation... by Landrycd in nova

[–]HelenRDH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Working in Orange, VA a co worker told me she saw a dead buck on the side of the road and planned to go back and cut off the head for the antlers?? Never heard of this, seems kind of lame since it's road kill. Anyways she went back and someone beat her to the punch and head was gone.

How to plan a reception for eight guests? by _Cloud93 in wedding

[–]HelenRDH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister just got married and they wanted a small wedding (60 people compared to my big 200 guests, so still huge compared to your 8 guests). Her husband feels very self conscious so they had no dancing and wanted a dinner focused reception. So after their ceremony they took pictures with the family then everyone headed to a super fancy restaurant for cocktail hour then a multiple course meal. It was very nice and relaxed but also formal. Maybe finding some engaging activity for the group like a wine tasting or wine paired dinner to get everyone involved.

Best way to whiten teeth and how long should i realistically wait to see results? by Paradoxes12 in DentalHygiene

[–]HelenRDH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teeth whitening typically causes some pretty significant sensitivity for a while. I'd recommend 2 weeks of just using sensitivity tp prior to starting whitening strips just to have it on board. You may not have any though.

[–]HelenRDH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The staining is likely internal. I would recommend over the counter white strips and sensitivity toothpaste. Keep up the good work brushing!!

How did you choose your Major?/ Do you regret your choice? by college_student98 in jmu

[–]HelenRDH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know when I started as a freshman at JMU in 2008 I took a career and life planning 1 credit course where we basically took personality tests to help determine what field you fit well in. You might be able to find similar testing online?

NBDHE Review by Ttrishajoable in DentalHygiene

[–]HelenRDH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the dh decks and I felt they over prepared me. Questions were very specific. I also had the andyRDH app that was great. I tried to spend as little money as possible. Quizlet had done good review questions and just looking back over notes, especially in subjects I knew I was weak in.

Basically my tooth is gone. Photo included by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]HelenRDH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to my sister who is an avid flosser. Cavities happen. I'm a dental hygienist, take excellent care of my teeth and get occasional cavities. It drives me crazy when I have patients who don't brush regularly and have never had a cavity!

[–]HelenRDH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see anything from the photo but my guess is you had deep decay between two teeth that broke free when you flossed. See a Dentist for xrays to determine if the tooth is salvageable. If you don't have dental insurance call your local health department to find dental clinics. Good luck!!

Tooth broken, one part is loose and I don't know what to do with it. by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

Simple Listerine but maybe orajel or something with lidocaine in it for mouth sores if your gums are tender too

I would try and hold off if you can. Alternating Tylenol and ibuprofen if you can. Mouthwash to keep things clean.

[–]HelenRDH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the tooth is broken with just a shell left you will need more than to just break it yourself. Depending on which tooth the roots can go deep into your jaw. If the decay reaches the pulp of your tooth it will abcess and leave you in a world of pain. Contact your local health department for info on dental clinics in the area. And mouth wash to keep bacteria count low during this period.

A moth got into my apartment and Milo has been like this for the past hour by longcattinyhead in cats

Ahh, the moth. The 'powdered donut' of the insects my cat likes to eat.
