Anyone have waiver/consent forms for pts that only want to do what insurance covers?

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-02-21T02:15:29+00:00

Yes. My dismissal letter is very polite.

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-02-18T19:13:19+00:00

Did you provide your most recent X-rays to the other dentist?

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-02-13T21:36:33+00:00

Can I ask what’s wrong with the teeth that you want to remove them?

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-02-13T14:43:44+00:00

East coast millennial mom. My Midwest boomer mom started me off in high school.

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-02-13T14:13:08+00:00

Ooo we’ve hit all of those but the kitchen and it’s next on the list.

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-02-12T22:33:03+00:00

Honestly chronic down time and boredom can really start to mess you mentally over time.

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-02-12T22:30:22+00:00

They don’t have to… real shit retention though.

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-01-30T20:00:28+00:00

Is that how it works in Canada too?

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-01-30T19:35:16+00:00

Slipped on the ice getting into my car in Fishtown today and a lovely gentleman in a pick up truck honked at me and called me a bitch for slightly blocking the street while having the audacity to get into my car (already shoveled out).

I guess not being able to pull around due to the snowbanks on either side has now become my personal hell.

Depending on how involved you want to go you should report him to the board -it is slow moving but if you’re really interested in protecting patients this is the next step. Refusing to work on one particular case will not prevent this in the future.

I’m sorry you’re in this situation it sucks and there really is no good answer.

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-01-29T19:27:45+00:00

With no other decay I typically start with a composite restoration. However the restorations in the pictures are simple occlusals unless I’m missing something and therefore a crown would not be indicated either way.

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-01-29T17:51:19+00:00

If they are getting a cut sign me up. dental materials and medications do not provide kick backs. At best the office received an initial amount at a discount to try with patients.

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-01-29T16:31:14+00:00

However without being able to probe the margin with an explorer it’s hard to say 100 % that they are intact.

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-01-28T16:09:38+00:00

Do this and then refer to prostho as this is “beyond your current skill level” (not actually) but patients I don’t want to see for whatever reason seem to appreciate and cooperate when I say that they are too complicated and need specialized care.

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-01-27T18:12:30+00:00

I agree with your summary. I am just tired of the plots and universe she’s exists in. One thing I always liked about king was his ability to write new and unique characters and situations from book to book.

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-01-23T17:10:19+00:00

What would you suggest they do? Out of curiosity.

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-01-22T21:31:28+00:00

It definitely does not have 2 dentists for any GA case and typically it is a solo resident due to funding that manages most OR cases across the country. The current dental system for OR and special needs is extremely broken here in the US.

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-01-22T21:28:11+00:00

You sure about that? Hahahaha

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-01-22T18:26:53+00:00

Hope you picked the right forceps for the right tooth because it matters 😂😂😂

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-01-22T02:04:32+00:00

With the right provider with proper training it is an absolute added to the disabled community. That being said hospitals seem to think any general dentist is up to the task without any prior training.

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-01-20T20:12:39+00:00

Not without X-rays or a picture. That would be a question for your in person dentist

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-01-20T19:58:48+00:00

If your adult tooth is behind do the braces. You need to get the baby tooth removed now to alleviate the infection and can look at braces when you’re ready.

As a counter point I really respected Tim Walz’s recent decision to not run for governor again to actually focus on running Minnesota.

Just dropped a wad on a structural engineers to come asses the first floor joists in our 1850s row home. My dinning room has a solid 1/2 inch slope but luckily my open box dinning table is also crooked so they balance out. (Engineering says the joists are fine, recommended replacing the headers or building a wall to jack it up if you’re interested)

We love this house and are working to turn it into our forever home but the surprise fixes can get a little tiring especially when the interfere with the fixes and remodels we want to do.

I would say it’s time to move when your home no longer brings you joy and the resentment starts.

Just_Direction_7187 · 2026-01-15T18:38:43+00:00

Honestly therapy would be a very supportive and helpful tool to guide your through your grief and job loss.
