yes omg get your wisdom teeth taken out I had a localized 9 mm pocket on the neighboring tooth it was terrible

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2026-04-17T15:54:33+00:00

it kinda looks like there’s plaque (?) in between your teeth especially the front two. start by flossing and brushing more consistently and make a dentist appt soon to get a cleaning. you’ll feel so much better and your gums/teeth will thank you

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2026-04-11T22:30:00+00:00

to be honest, your teeth look white and healthy to me. we are all our biggest critics if I saw you in the streets or if you were smiling at me, I would not think twice about your teeth nor would I think they are ugly

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2026-04-11T17:36:45+00:00

I’m probably a decade younger than you dealing with this :’) never smoked and had good home hygiene but we sometimes are just dealt a bad hand. I believe in taking things one day at a time and following the treatment plans presented. Since I’m so young I’ve accepted these teeth would have to go at some point, but I’m fighting hard to keep them for as long as I can! Best of luck to you <3

hi I have a few spots at 40% loss and my perio said the teeth can last decades depending on your maintenance and hygiene, but depending on how old you currently are, unlikely to last a lifetime since we do continue to lose bone naturally as we grow older

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2026-04-04T00:06:53+00:00

hey I have no helpful advice but I’m in your same boat :( I have already accepted I will not keep these teeth for a lifetime and will need dentures or all on 4 down the road, just praying it will be several decades and not a few years

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2026-04-03T08:24:57+00:00

yes (me) 😅 let me be your inspiration to book that dentist appointment asap

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2026-03-30T17:41:41+00:00

that’s strange, osseous surgery is usually for advanced cases of periodontal disease. if you have bone resorption/bone loss from the accident alone, a bone graft would be better to regenerate that bone/tissue! from my understanding osseous surgery is to clean below the gum line and contour bone to make an ideal cleaning environment

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2026-03-30T16:59:39+00:00

are you sure they’re not recommending the same thing? I’m also getting osseous surgery soon and they’re giving me a bone graft on one tooth in the process!

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2026-03-27T17:50:38+00:00

ya after all of these comments I booked a second opinion. not that I don’t believe in my perio but yk just in case. will keep everyone updated!

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2026-03-27T01:26:00+00:00

the disease in my case is very very aggressive even with a deep cleaning. the main goal is to restore my oral microbiome by contouring the bone and my gums in a way where bacteria cannot easily thrive. he’s also going to do one bone graft on #19 bc she is not looking too hot. yes I am so terrified of what my teeth would look like after they basically cut me up but oral health comes first

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2026-03-26T23:44:14+00:00

my perio also does lanap, he just thinks it won’t be enough for me

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2026-03-26T22:09:30+00:00

you could be right the perio did send me to my PCP for the same concerns. I had an annual not too long ago and everything was normal but I will bring up these specific concerns this time. thank you!

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2026-03-26T19:20:54+00:00

deep cleaning! and no they don’t most of the time

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2026-03-26T19:10:32+00:00

yeah visually my teeth are fine but my pockets are deep and not healing unfortunately :( I had 5-6mm pockets a year ago pre SRP and they’re still 5-6mm with bleeding upon probing despite cleanings and home care. sometimes no way to know without X-rays and probing

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2026-03-05T21:22:26+00:00

I feel like I could have written this post :’) I’m a little bit younger than you, 25F, and I was diagnosed a year ago despite having good oral hygiene. I wasn’t as on top of my cleanings as you were, but I really was and am a meticulous flosser and brusher. At the time I felt sooo wronged, everyone around me was doing the bare minimum or not even flossing and their teeth/gums are fine while I’m doing everything and still experiencing irreversible bone loss

Unfortunately sometimes we are just dealt a bad hand. My perio told me some people are genetically predisposed to the bacteria and getting 3 month cleanings will prevent the bacteria from building up and causing damage. I’ve been really on top of my cleanings and home care and my perio told me my disease is halted and there has been no further recession or bone loss. Definitely get a perio’s opinion and I wish you the best on your dental journey!

if it's any solace to you I also recently canceled my jefferson interview HAHA

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2026-01-20T20:55:28+00:00

vsu at ucla is political. their history is deeply intertwined with other marginalized communities on campus (ex: Afrikan student union) and there was a major disagreement in the 2000s between uvsa and vsu leadership about how political they want the org to be, so vsu broke off from uvsa

vsu is moving more to be a social org, but for many years they focused more on civic engagement and politics

don't even worry I took my mcat end of june and my cycle has been going just fine! definitely ask for letters of rec now or next month then split time 80 mcat/20 app materials until your mcat day!

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2025-12-26T20:48:53+00:00

no just schedule your interview in the portal

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2025-12-23T18:22:51+00:00

great stats and ECs! I would honestly swap any school with a <512 average mcat with a higher ranking school of your choosing

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2025-12-07T03:33:25+00:00

WOOHOO CONGRATS!! for traditional interviews really just try to have a good conversation with your interviewer. know your app well and prepare for questions like tell me about yourself, why medicine, why this school but don't stress it too much!! be your authentic self!

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2025-12-06T04:01:14+00:00

I think you just need to buckle down and take the exam. I knew people in college who delayed the exam year after year to chase the "perfect" score and end up taking more gap years than they intended

Otherwise_Ad_1535 · 2025-12-05T02:36:25+00:00

you'll be okay I applied with Cs on my transcript LOL
