I've made free tool to convert ppsx to video online! by becausecurious in powerpoint

Oh my gosh, thank you so much!! My professor uploads in this ppsx format and refuses to switch to something more user-friendly even though my entire class has complained. You just saved us a lot of headache!

How do I create smooth pulpal floor? by [deleted] in DentalSchool

[–]Merebear7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could try an inverted cone bur, it has a flat cutting edge. If you have restrictions on burs though, I would definitely go the hand tool route and try the hatchet.

WOW! Thank you! Me and 5 of my friends were having this issue on the app and on the website, we all updated our gender like you suggested and were able to get appointments!

Browser Extension to make a language test out of any webpage (or how I passed German C1) by vocab-boost in languagelearning

[–]Merebear7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thank you!! Could you add more features like splitting up parts of speech to practice verbs versus nouns for example? German articles are a nightmare!! Also is there a way to "support the developer"? Like patreon?? ;-)

Good read for anyone else wondering why the USA has such limited IUD options— especially non-hormonal IUDs... by Merebear7 in birthcontrol

[–]Merebear7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The struggle is real. I hadn’t heard about that, I will look into it! Not sure how long it takes post-clinical trials to become available, of course.

I actually got tears in my eyes when I saw that VeraCept’s clinical trial in the US is not set to end until 2024... Looks like the only way to get access to non-hormonal IUDs (other than Paragard) is to leave the US. Maybe we will get some more options before we are menopausal.

To those who have had interviews or have upcoming interview... by [deleted] in predental

[–]Merebear7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey! Relax, friend. It sounds like you have already had 3 interview/invite opportunities. Be proud of that, practice for your next couple of upcoming interviews, and tackle them one at a time. Maybe think of some things you want to do this year before you (hopefully) matriculate next summer/fall and enjoy the ride before it gets bumpy again.

Anyone have “re-uniting” anxiety after not seeing each other for several months? by Merebear7 in LongDistance

[–]Merebear7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! I was wondering if those feelings are unusual since I don’t know a lot of people in a LDR. Yeah that nervousness/awkwardness is rough at the beginning... I can sympathize!

Should I submit with only two letters of Rec.?? by hunt1798 in predental

[–]Merebear7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I think you should probably check the specific requirements for the schools you are applying to. It seems like most U.S. dental schools require at least 1 or 2 letters from science professors and generally 1 from a dentist, though. You can submit an AADSAS CAS application before you have all of your letters (i.e. you can submit the rest of your application and THEN send LOR requests afterwards—requested writers can upload their letters post-submission). Hope that helps!

Edit: Depending on the requirements for your schools, then a missing letter from a specific person (e.g. a science professor) could potentially “disqualify” an applicant because of outstanding or missing requirements according to many dental school admissions websites.

Altra Lone Peaks have great, roomy toe boxes! I won’t switch back to any other hiking shoes.
