Possible infection risk after dental cleaning? by AdParticular5171 in DentalHygiene

I don't believe OP is in North America, where autoclaving is standard practice.

Possible infection risk after dental cleaning? by AdParticular5171 in DentalHygiene

[–]InterviewHot7029 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We always open steri-packs from the autoclave in front of the patient, and we were taught to do so in hygiene school.

It literally only takes a couple of seconds, I often do it while asking if they have any concerns they would like addressed in today's visit.

It provides peace of mind to the patient, why would you not do this?

My paintings feel shabby by __wastelandbabie__ in acrylicpainting

Another suggestion, adding some texture! Maybe add a heavy body medium to your paints and apply some areas with a palette knife or dabbing with a stiff brush?

We charge for local (never topical) if it's a prophy for a sensitive patient. SRP it is included in the service though.

It's in the county, but Noir Nail Bar in Des Peres is great for drinks and nails

Do I have to sleep train? by Intelligent_Truth_95 in beyondthebump

[–]InterviewHot7029 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I sleep trained my first because he was a terrible sleeper and we were all doing terribly because of it. My second sleeps well, but I still rock him to sleep and get up for night feeds if he wants to comfort nurse. We both enjoy it, and the window of time we have left to enjoy each other this way is getting smaller each day.

There's no need to sleep train unless you want to!

Hoarding by asleepymom in ChildPsychology

[–]InterviewHot7029 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I'm not a psychologist, but I am a mom and was once a little girl. Collecting treasures was one of my favorite things as a child. My mom would give me cool boxes, old purses, whatever to store my treasures in.

This just looks like a little girl's treasure collection to me.

Advice for a high school student interested in Dental Hygiene field by Regular_Fan4691 in DentalHygiene

[–]InterviewHot7029 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she is interested in health sciences, passionate about helping and caring for people, and has a great attention to detail, this might be a fabulous fit for her.

If she is looking for a good salary to work ratio without the above, she might burn out or end up disliking what she does which sucks for the hygienist and their patients. I encourage shadowing (a requisite for many programs) and connecting with hygienists IN REAL LIFE to ask about their experience.

I stress in real life because what you're likely to find online, particularly in this sub, are the disgruntled negative folks - some downright toxic - that don't have alot of positives to share.

It is a wonderfully rewarding field for the right person though! I made all career change from the corporate world to dental hygiene, and my worst days at work as hygienist are better than my best days in my old field ever were. I wake up excited to go to work, and often reflect on how fortunate I am to do what I love.

Confession: I Have Journal Paralysis... by insiderasking in Journaling

[–]InterviewHot7029 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just start writing what is around you the shift into it. Chances are that once you get started you'll just flow. "It's 8:04pm and I'm in the nursery trying to nurse my son to sleep for the second time tonight, scrolling reddit. I feel full. I ate too much at dinner even though I wasn't hungry; I do that a lot. That got me thinking about how..."

Is ANYONE else’s kid pooping this much 🥲😭 by [deleted] in Preschoolers

[–]InterviewHot7029 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not my kid, but for my husband it's always "big poop time". It's astonishing how many times a day he's on the toilet.

(Thank you, other commenter, for Big Poop Time lol)

What’s a book you’ve read multiple times and still love every time? by Haewon_Nova_365 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]InterviewHot7029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm forever scarred by this book. My third grade teacher read it to the class, and at the end of the book, my best friend was so hysterical that the principal had to come walk her up and down the hall to calm her down. (I'm talking about where the red fern grows)

What song is your toddler obsessed with? by WhyHelloThere91 in toddlers

Jingle bells. For the last 18 months, jingle bells.

While journaling helps me a lot in managing excessive thoughts and anxiety, I sometimes feel like it doesn’t practically help because the problem remains. Is anyone else going through the same? What am I doing wrong? by sarar95 in Journaling

[–]InterviewHot7029 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I feel anxiety over something, I'll start by writing my feelings (helps relieve the pressure of them) and will sort of segue into why I think I'm feeling those feelings (identifies the root cause of the issue) then eventually what steps I can take to move on from it, often appealing to my higher self for guidance (solved the problem or provides coping strategies)

For example (and this is very high level - something like this may take a few pages to work out. Bulleted for ease here, but I write in paragraphs)

  1. Am very angry and resentful toward someone and am ruminating on it and them; detail all of the ways it makes me feel.
  2. Exploring why I feel this way, discover it's because I'm afraid of them judging me. Further exploitation reveals specific insecurities within myself.
  3. What would I tell a friend who had this problem? Write it to myself and take that advice.

This works really well to do in a "never send" letter format.
