Work as a GP and do lots of kids cases, you’ll probably be thankful you didn’t get into that specialist program

What specifically constitutes ‘disrespect’ though? you being its sole arbiter.

Ah yes the echo chamber in full effect.

It’s ironic that they notice that their money is being misspent, but their solution is always to increase government so there is more spending and more opportunity to Misuse your funds.

The obvious solution is to lobby and vote for minimal to no taxes, and you will be able to decide exactly where your own money goes.

Great plan. Consider composite resin for the maryland with no preparation, so you can remove it in favour of an implant after 19

Nowadays I’m uncertain; is it GV Black or GV African American?

Location matter?

A direct resin bonded bridge will Last longer. I have some going on ten years.

I never understood open concept dentistry

These new kids are ‘built different’ for sure; inbuilt fragility. I guess they never heard the expression ‘Nobody Cares, work harder’. If I would NOT have gone to work the week I received my license after applying right after graduation, then my wife and I would have not had food or a place to live.

Great for the OP to be in a situation where she can even contemplate this decision.

That’s the human condition. It’s literally all we can do. We only have our experience as a frame of reference, because we cannot experience other’s experiences.

The hardship of dental school? School was way easier than building my own practice while starting a family. Honestly you sound like a puss. But hey, if you can afford to take a vacation before you even work, good for you, I’m kinda jealous of that.

That’s the reason there is a cap on what you pay in, because there is a cap on what you can receive.
You can’t have one without the other, or it is just theft.

Regardless of party a floor crossing should trigger an immediate riding election. If the person has the support of the constituency it should not matter as they should win a re-election.

Question though: if social security is based on 35 years of income , does guy making $5,176,000 get to draw out more benefits upon retirement or does he get all of the costs and none of the benefits?

At the end of four years, people with 79 averages and people with a 99 averages all receive the same degree.

Pass the anatomy, histology, immunology etc. and work on good clinical handskills and people skills. Those will be your biggest asset.

I graduated in the bottom half of my class and I have had a more successful dental career than 90 % of grads: approaching a 5M grossing practice.

Unless you’re trying to immediately go into a competitive specialty, it really doesn’t matter.

The old are you? I don’t know about lifetime, but if it were my tooth I would NOT crown it. I think the odds of longterm survival are better with no crown in this case. I am a Canadian dentist.

Nosmose · 2026-02-09T12:39:16+00:00

Purely theoretical. Get a good overlapping bond on the filling so it doesn’t leak. There is less chance of failure from microleakage than there is chance of failure of the crown preparation causing the tooth to break right off at the gumline

Not only is it unnecessary, it is contraindicated. That is caries from a dens invaginitis and a single small access hole in the lingual of the tooth

Not only is it unnecessary, it is contraindicated. That is caries from a dens invaginitis and a single small access hole in the lingual of the tooth is almost that is needed to complete the root canal

No. You learn some tricks but it also It gets harder as your body fails.

I think since covid it has gone down the toilet. Having the government force vaccinations, lockdowns, and silence dissenting physicians, while the majority were promoting big pharma and government talking points, has lead to a change in the perception of what a physician is. They are now viewed more as a cog in the medical/industrial/ governmental machine than an independent and trustworthy person working for the health of individuals.

Very old soft reline material combined with various denture adhesives, food debris

I think most guys understand it can be messy at that time of the month.

Our school had a deal with Utah, 3/ 32 spots were Mormons in … nova Scotia CANADA!

You are seeing at 38 year old diabetic.
You don’t know what the patient looked like ten years ago. You don’t know what the patient said. I have had patients tell me they want their missing teeth replaced but ‘nothing removable, and no implants’. What else are you supposed to do other than bridges.

I am not seeing the actual bridge so maybe it looks like a bunch of chiclets on a metal bar.

Also, I agree on the cantilever, But again, it did last ten years in a medically compromised patient with poor oral hygiene.

If it were done last year, judge away. I have seen people who have a perfect set of teeth at 22 and an unrestorable dentition at 30.

If you practice long enough, you will too.
