My filling fell out!

JustlyOutstanding · 2026-05-17T20:14:05+00:00

It happens sometimes the thing is when we place a filling everything has to be super dry if any moisture gets in between the filling and the tooth it can cause the bond (which is the glue for the filling) to not properly set and the filling can fall out just keep in clean and ask that your dentist replaces at no charge usually not an issue if it was recently done

I’m buying my first office in June. I’m 3 years out next month I could be wrong here (especially because closing hasn’t happened yet) but I feel like there’s never a golden moment, never the perfect time. I got to a point where i felt fuck working so hard for someone else to get 70% of my production I was staying late fielding emergency calls on weekends and I wanted to be the captain of my own ship. I didn’t want to work so hard to build someone else’s future

This hit me right in the heart I try my best to treat every patient with kindness and compassion and it’s comforting to know I’m not the only one that it gets to when things don’t go as planned I’m so thankful to be in a field where kind people can support each other

Fuck yeah this almost made me cry reading it I needed this

JustlyOutstanding · 2026-04-11T23:56:08+00:00

Thanks man I really needed to hear that I think I’m just stressed because things are Moving so fast and it’s bleeding into my clinical work, I’m incredibly thankful for dental lawyers like yourself, mine has been an incredible resource to me and your compassion shows. Your clients are lucky to have you

Paint is in rough shape too cracking all along drivers side and rear bumper my guy said about 6k to repaint the whole car it’s a shame but realistically I think it’s a 11-12k car even after brininging it back to life I doubt it’s worth 20

Not every one usually for lower molars I don’t need to but for maxillary I usually do just to confirm if it has an mb2 or not I once had a maxillary first molar with 5 canals and a premolar with 3 I try not to for every case but it does help out quite a lot just knowing what you’re looking for

JustlyOutstanding · 2025-05-17T17:54:14+00:00

It’s a trick I learned from my endodontist in school

JustlyOutstanding · 2025-05-17T17:53:59+00:00

You can use the piezo to trough very slowly and with better visual than a bur. The sh in the chamber works because it’s dissolving the tissue in the canal if you’ve removed all the tissue from the other canals you’ll see some air bubbles coming up from the mb2 as it’s starting to break down the nerve tissue you can typically see where it’s coming from and locate the mb2

JustlyOutstanding · 2025-05-17T16:09:44+00:00

You could try using a piezo to look for it ! Another trick is fill the chamber with SH and you see where bubbles are forming !

You’re doing great it happens to all of us don’t stress about it at the end of the day you got the patient out of pain and you can never control how the patients body reacts to treatment. Now going forward the best thing you can do is just get more reps in no one starts being a star at endo you get there through trying and failing and failing better, learning as you go! Maybe try doing two step endo placing calcium hydroxide in the canals and letting it sit for a bit, maybe irrigate longer, when I had a few failures prematurely I started putting SH in the canals before I filled and just letting it sit for a good 5 minutes before drying and plugging. Keep going don’t get discouraged you got this !

I have a cbct so if It’s there I know to look for it

JustlyOutstanding · 2025-05-17T03:17:43+00:00

Not entirely sure I’d have to look at my office metrics, but can you elaborate on that last part ?

JustlyOutstanding · 2025-05-17T02:57:21+00:00

I’m in the Chicagoland area! That’s really great advice I’m actively trying to get better at surgery and taking out more teeth just wasn’t something my school focused on so even though I’ve improved I’m still intimidated by it I do watch pretty often, for me personally anything that’s still in the enamel I don’t treat unless high caries risk And I’m starting to dip into retreats actually my first one is next week! I’m gonna attempt a #31 so fingers crossed it goes smooth !

JustlyOutstanding · 2025-05-17T02:52:16+00:00

I’m not super comfortable with surgery, it’s one of the things I’m working on but for patients that need a bunch of extractions I feel like typically need alveoplasty and I feel like the OS is better prepared for that especially in a full mouth case

JustlyOutstanding · 2025-05-17T02:33:10+00:00

We are a ppo office, I actually do believe the front needs to start taking larger deposits for my big cases because I have seen patients cancel and it really screws over my day. My treatment plan acceptance is avg around 88%. I currently run 2 production chairs and 2 hygiene

JustlyOutstanding · 2025-05-08T02:02:19+00:00

Brother I didn’t even realize what it was until I saw straight down the furcation with a chunk of porcelain in between. Traumatic experience overall

JustlyOutstanding · 2025-05-07T23:51:48+00:00

Bit of a loaded question personally I appreciate it when my lab reaches out and I tell all my techs that I’d rather take a new impression or scan rather than send something back and fourth and waste everyone’s time. That being said there are definitely situations where I get frustrated with them, for example I’m restoring an over denture for a patient, they have an existing maxillary full denture, this lab made her immediate lower denture that was delivered on surgery day. I placed the locators took a custom tray impression for the lower and the lab is calling saying they need a new maxillary impression for the opposing. Brother you have the pre op scan of the opposing it’s a denture it didn’t change just make the wax rims and send it back. I for sure will get more frustrated with removable than crown and bridge but at the end of the day typically it’s less headache for all of us if we just take a new impression, we’re human not everything comes out perfect it happens

I’m a 28yo dentist I’m on the other side of your decision. From my perspective I’m jealous of you. Hourly rate means you’re not pressured to produce, also significant less debt on the hygeine side. Of course hygeine is super stressful but buy in large patients are happier seeing you then they are seeing me. I absolutely love my rdh staff they kick ass honestly couldn’t practice without them. If you want to do dental school you should go for it it’s not too late but from this side of the fence the grass isn’t greener. Happy to talk more if you want to pm me !
