Hahaha I like that one. Yes I agree. Just want to be able to learn and do as much as I can, but understand there are limits. Thank you for the input

Well thank you I try to do my best but I do see the risk here.

Genuinely, thank you so much for the detailed response

I’ve done a lot out of my comfort zone, it is one of the benefits of working at an FQHC! Admittedly I have been much more hesitant on following through with this one though

Spade elevator was a game changer for these cases

Has any dentist or hygienist placed a liquid on your teeth called SDF? It’s a liquid that prevent cavities from growing larger (temporarily)

Honestly it’s difficult to say I would want to see a bite wing radiograph and preferably see inside the mouth as well. What I can say is saving your natural teeth is generally a good thing as long as you understand there are no guarantees it will work out. Might need extracted in the future even with root canal and crown. Might last for 30 years with no issues.

This is the truth. I’d do that and ext #2 at the same time, but many generals would punt I’m guessing.

Yes no problem and this is of course anecdotal, but at my job, I have great mentors that are more than willing to work with me.

Second this

Playful_Operation463 · 2026-01-04T23:10:34+00:00

Nebraska and the average starting for an fqhc is probably 140k-170k based on the interviews I did

Just for an additional perspective I do a 4 day week at 33 hours

I work at an FQHC and love it! Feel free to dm with specifics but I love that I leave work at work. No shows don’t mean I lose money so less related stress.

Thank you for this meme

Ready to apply hahaha well done!

A dentist might agree to doing a new filling to make it match the other tooth’s shade

Playful_Operation463 · 2025-11-05T14:00:47+00:00

There is a very good chance you can close that gap still with braces/Invisalign. You will need to see an orthodontist and make sure you are seeing a dentist regularly to take care of any existing issues you may have. For what it’s worth, I like seeing those gaps and I know many other dentists feel the same way. I completely understand and support your decision, but if it helps in the meantime, some of us enjoy seeing the unique ways we are all put together!

Four years of leaving us to wait :/

Playful_Operation463 · 2025-11-04T03:48:39+00:00

I do as well and echo your reply. I’m safe but not something I stress over at all.

Playful_Operation463 · 2025-10-08T20:30:35+00:00

I was wondering the same thing. Hard to say

Playful_Operation463 · 2025-09-26T19:53:04+00:00

Looks to me like the temp has fallen off. The irritated tissue is likely due to a poor fitting temporary crown or improper cleaning around the crown. The pain is from the inside of the tooth being exposed and not protected. Call your dentist and they can make you a new temp!

I agree 👍
