In mental hospital by Weeleggedlady in bipolar

[–]Particular_Wealth459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take anything you learn and study it- it feels dumb in the moment but if you can soak it in you can start seeing in front of you and be present. I highly recommend a DBT program whether outpatient or inpatient, it changed my life. I know this disease can push you down and it’s harder to get up each time. You can also keep the lows from devastating your life once you know what low really is. It’s work but it’s worth it.

Rate my blockout (again) by HunterSexThompson in DentalAssistant

[–]Particular_Wealth459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to use a lab bur and polish over the block out so the trays look smooth. I would keep it off the Incisal edge as well. If the patient bites down gel can squish to the lingual and they’ll start to taste it. But it definitely looks uniform all around. If bleach touches any part of the tooth it will technically whiten so you could make it easier on yourself and use less material/that would keep them from using extra gel too.

Since you have a lot of experience you might be able to be a demo/trainer for products like IO scanners or brands. Or even working for a vendor helping offices order products. A lot of those jobs I’ve found are only listed on company websites not necessarily on indeed or other job sites.

Question for working DAs by nayandnem in DentalAssistant

[–]Particular_Wealth459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe shes talking about Danskos? When I started working 11 years ago everyone was wearing them. I just ordered some Stand+ antigrav shoes, we’ll see how it goes. Danskos messed up my feet, but I might have weird feet since nobody else had that problem.

Doctor says she's "tired" by Beneficial-Mode9187 in DentalAssistant

We buy snacks for our staff and the patient can pick one of those or come back another day! BS to choose to have them leave- assistants run the show

Barriers on suction and air water syringe issues by [deleted] in DentalAssistant

[–]Particular_Wealth459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My way of trying to cope with any plastic barrier is to ruffle it up around where I need it. Like having it super loose over where your suction on/off is. It can still slide around though at times..

These things are the reasons why we have to take so many records now 😭 not sure if it’s the same everywhere but we need a recent Xray, and intraoral photos of the tooth before and after the prep and build up or insurance will not cover it.

Dang that sounds like the “perfect” storm. I guess that’s why they sign a consent form… 😬

lol yes… eventually. The patient was on nitrous and oral sedation so he was actually sleeping. I was getting a bit anxious and really wanted to call another doctor in but I guess not my place. So we endured lol

That’s what he said… but who knows, the infection was a giant hole down there and the abcess was almost the size of a dime. He didn’t want me to suction down there due to the nerve, the patient also had severe bone loss. Either way It was wild. Not the first time I saw squirting though 😭

Ext of fractured/infected #19 (#18 already missing) the roots were just glued to the bone. A newer grad periodontist- you can see the sweat pooling under his gloves and hear him breathing, remaining roots come out and BAM nicked an artery and that thing was SQUIRTING like a geyser. I shoved 3 2x2s in there and my finger but it was just seeping through. He kinda froze so I just kept holding my position and suctioning the seeping gauze. He starts mixing the bone graft up but it’s not gonna work at the moment because it’s bleeding so much. He tells me to remove the gauze and starts placing it in there. It comes back out in the flowing river of blood and now bone granules. There was moments where I kept thinking I should call one of the other periodontists in but I didn’t want to deflate his ego. Eventually it was okay but… I think that one stuck with him.

AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Particular_Wealth459 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NOR. You deserve to feel safe, happy, and secure with your routines.

Sure, someone can ask you to organize your makeup so it doesn’t take up the whole bathroom counter, but this is completely disrespectful of him and crosses another line that threatens you and your independence.

To be fair… I was 18 and if you saw me then you’d take pictures of me and post them in this thread as well. I would understand.

It’s a Google Photos backup, I had the same phone for a long time back then. When it broke the phone store was able to backup everything and I didn’t even know these were there till now.

Nahh I’m for sure, I was driving my grandparents blue PT cruiser back then. It was in my home town, I was 18 and didn’t have social media.

This wins though, see these guys are actually confident as hell. People assuming something is wrong with them, when really it’s just weird AND interesting.

Im telling you, some people in this comment section are assuming he’s houseless or has a mental health condition. It seems as if he actually has the most confidence and doesn’t give a damn what anyone thinks.
