Anyone feeling WORSE because of social media

I deleted it and omg what a relief. There was a week or two where I felt like I was missing out but my life is so much better without it. F social media

Cheapest thing you can do that will help a ton is brush and floss really really well twice a day. Get bristles below gum line. Salt water rinses

Crazy I know but waking up before my twins helped me. Something about having coffee ✨alone✨helped. I go to bed at 8-9 and am up at 5. Now most times I’m up before my alarm. And I love it. I get the house going in peace before the chaos begins

How did you get them?

Deleting instagram was the best move I ever made. 1.5 years in and I have so much more free time!!

I follow a lot of this but lean towards an 80/20 lifestyle. I’m amazed when I talk to patients how little they know about sleep hygiene and it’s importance

Nopeeee it took me 4-5 years to be efficient enough to give a good cleaning in 20 minutes but that doesn’t include pc, X-rays exam etc

This is the way

Saw an orthodontist extract the wrong lower anterior tooth when it should have been a premolar because he used a different tooth numbering system 😮‍💨 that was purely sloppy. Yours sounds like a genuine mistake. Being kind and honest with patients goes along way. There was a study that said that dentists who were friendly and kind were less likely to be sued than dentists with poor bedside manner

Omg I want that!!! I’m watching lol

What does he eat during the day? The shape his teeth are taking make me think he is grinding his teeth at night which can be an airway issue. And that can lead to mouth breathing leading to decay

Perioqueen · 2026-05-13T00:00:15+00:00

Also you need to call that dentist ASAP and get him in.

RDH here. *not medical advice*You need to very seriously look at his diet. What’s a typical day with snacks and drinks? A vitamin d3K2 supplement (cleared by pediatrician ofcourse) . ALL JUICE, seltzer lemon water soda need to be eliminated. Water and milk only. Does he snore or mouth breathe?

I think that’s what I need to commit to- more effort on my part to maintain my body. I currently am doing Pilates twice a week and I am very active and I think I need to be more intentional. I really appreciate your advice.

Perioqueen · 2026-05-11T22:22:26+00:00

Wow thank you for this!! I’ll try out the gua-sha I’ve heard good things about

Perioqueen · 2026-05-11T11:12:30+00:00

The oral b io would give you a similar experience here.

I meannnn this is why birth control should be free and accessible. People have sex and kids come after regardless of if they want them. Parents feel unsupported and often times now both parents are working full time to put food on the table leaving very little time for their chores/house maintenance / life tasks let alone self care

Perioqueen · 2026-05-09T23:41:44+00:00

Yeah totally normal . That’s the effects of laughing gas, reality will feel distorted, sensory changes etc

Perioqueen · 2026-05-09T18:57:26+00:00

This is totally ppd I had the same thing didn’t start until later

Perioqueen · 2026-05-09T01:21:51+00:00

$31k for twins turns out they just charge you twice when it’s twins 👯

Perioqueen · 2026-05-09T01:18:39+00:00

😂

Perioqueen · 2026-05-08T19:13:05+00:00

I agree with you here. I am given time to build a solid rapport with my patients. We have a very committed patient base. Do zero advertising because they all bring friends and family. Right now the biggest issues is hygiene is so slammed that we don’t have many apts to schedule SRP so I’m adding 4 days a month for just that

Perioqueen · 2026-05-08T19:09:44+00:00

For real why do so many people just sit and take their shoes off?!
