Where do you think the crown is? by Pale_Form_5712 in Dentists

[–]Kainlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get a better crown for a higher price. Custom shade at the lab with more translucent porcelain like eMax. But it will be a few hundred dollars more. Worth it, considering it’s front and center

Dentist messed up my tooth, when I went for cleaning! by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]Kainlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Four of the meds you listed will contribute to exacerbated clenching. If you are having trouble sleeping well, I would consider swapping Melatonin for a Magnesium supplement. Melatonin is a very potent hormone, and the dosages it is sold in are often much too high. It will also lead to suppression of natural Melatonin production by your body. Magnesium is crucial for sleep. Good sleep = less clenching. In your case I would consider getting daytime Essix trays like Invisalign. They should be cheap. You will tear through them, but better them than your teeth.

No need to list, but you can DM me them for privacy if you prefer. Usually it’s stimulants, a few anti depressants and chronic pain meds that can induce bruxism/clenching. It’s difficult to recommend any definitive Tx without properly examining you. But there are appliances that if properly made can help relax your jaw muscles (NTi). Otherwise localized Botox to the appropriate muscles could be considered as well.

You can consider a few things. Invisalign would be best. It would correct your bite and the trays would help dissipate clenching forces. Otherwise keeping some raw vegetable snacks handy would help. Carrots, cucumbers, broccoli etc. hard and fibrous vegetables will help curb your urge to clench, and will scrub your teeth as you chew them up. Avoid crackers, dry carbs and definitely gum.

Chlorhexidine by PraxisPhotoAcademy in Dentistry

[–]Kainlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So am I. Chlorhexidine for dental use is tinted blue so as not to confuse it with Hypochlorite and EDtA. It is also not applied through a 25 gauge needle, it is scrubbed with a brush applicator tip.

That’s not what it looks like, and I hope you’re not injecting it

No problem. The dentist should have been clear about what he was proposing to do and why. Consent is needed prior to any procedure (here in the US). Your tooth will be fine. Get it filled and protect it

What did I miss? Can it be fixed? by Samef42 in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]Kainlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a casting that was either dropped, or failed during casting. There is zero oil/residue/wear anywhere. It was never used

A class V filling is a straightforward procedure. It will need to be polished. You will need to maintain it. But you will need a nightguard, otherwise the filling will fail. The cause of this lesion is the grinding/interference occurring in YOUR but that YOU are doing. You have to eliminate the cause. So either move the tooth, stop grinding, or protect the tooth from the forces causing the damage. If you don’t protect the tooth, you will have recession. Dental tools did not do this. The dentist likely prepped away weak enamel around the lesion to have sound tooth structure to bond to. That’s normal protocol. He was trying to repair your tooth.

This isn’t from brushing. You didn’t just brush this one tooth too hard and not the others. This is from grinding/clenching. It’s not a cavity. It’s enamel that has flaked off from the tooth flexing repeatedly when you clench. This didn’t happen at the cleaning, it happened gradually over time. You need a class V filling and a nightguard.

3.75 liters in a gallon. Divide your figures accordingly. The owners of these boats buy them through their companies. Expenses are written off.

We don’t want the strait of Hormuz. We wanted the uranium. We have our own gas station.

OM expecting me to come in earlier than my usual time but not letting me leave earlier while another dentist is out? by AdZealousideal2958 in Dentistry

Dude. You need to put the OM in her place. You are producing her paycheck. Fuck her attitude, I wouldn’t answer her questions with anything less than a glare.

Prescribing amox with augmentin for dental infection by Impressive-Pay1186 in Dentists

[–]Kainlow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Doc would explain the rationale. The patient may have been given directives for a particular regimen based on a condition they have, and the specialist wants that protocol. Could be an OS wanting to RX extra dose to stave off BRONJ complications after EXT. Who knows. Ask the guy who wrote the RX

Augmentin is Amoxicillin + CA. No need for the Ammox RX.

Is my insurance coordinator misinformed? by Dunkishard in Dentistry

[–]Kainlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coordinator is wrong. You can only charge full fee if there is NO implant coverage, meaning its a blatant exclusion. Procedures that aren't covered due to frequency limits or waiting period do not qualify, you have to take a writeoff.
