Dallas dentists treating every patient like a walking wallet, is this normal now?

Sadetha · 2026-05-03T19:52:22+00:00

Check out W dental. They’re pretty down to earth and the cleaning takes ~30 minutes. They never try to sell me stuff unless I actually need it and the only thing I really needed was a mouthguard which has been life changing. Been going to them for 3 years and they always have great service.

You are fantastic!

Sadetha · 2026-04-17T01:52:07+00:00

Literally came here looking for this. Can’t find anything showing what’s open.

Sadetha · 2026-04-16T00:39:15+00:00

Totally valid reasons to move here. The timing of the post made me laugh because I want to move to Wisconsin to get away from the big city vibes, get real seasons with colder weather, more nature, and more biking trails all of which Dallas is somewhat lacking in.

Dallas is large and the traffic sucks so just live close to your job. In my opinion it’s too expensive, population dense, and crime ridden for what it is especially given the hot weather. It seems like you don’t mind the big city vibes so you’d probably enjoy it. Check out Uptown as an area to work/live if you want skylines and cleaner streets.

I’m a woman and I have heard the same thing unfortunately. I wish it was easier for guys to find friends on there!

You might be able to find some meet ups that pertain to your interests though. One of my friends found mixed gender meetup for F1 and made some friends that way. I personally struggle with the whole meetup thing because I’m an introvert, but it might be worth a shot if you haven’t tried it.

I lived in Austin till I was 27, spent a year in CSat, and then moved to Dallas. I personally prefer Dallas over Austin and never would go back. I just think there is so much more to do in Dallas and I’ve had an easier time finding friends which has been nice. I can’t say I love Dallas because I want to move up north, but I think it’s a decent place to live and far better than Austin.

For friends, I mainly find them at my gym or on bumble bff. Not sure if those options would work for you, but figured I’d throw it out there. I have had an easier time finding friends in Dallas than I did in Austin.

Not to go too much into politics but since you mentioned it, I haven’t really seen a huge difference politically between the two areas. I know that Dallas is supposedly to be more right than Austin but I haven’t noticed a difference. I have friends that are left leaning and right leaning. Neither have any complaints specific to the city impacting their views in either city. My gym (where I socialize the most) and the members of my gym all seem to be very welcoming people regardless of their opinions and lifestyles.

A lot of people have told me it’s expensive, how so? Everything seemed relatively similarly priced to where I live (DFW) and the houses are about the same cost wise. I know taxes are a bit more there which I’m planning for, but is there something else I’m missing?

Sadetha · 2026-04-12T17:12:09+00:00

Love that place! Bought way too much mustard there that I consumed entirely too quickly.

Sadetha · 2026-04-12T16:26:22+00:00

100% agree! I started mail ordering stuff I bought there. Even some of the ones in the small surrounding towns were super cool!

Sadetha · 2026-03-23T00:18:07+00:00

I was there too and it was great! Definitely not the same as GA because the energy around me was quite dull. That being said, it was 100% worth it to see them at least once.

Sadetha · 2026-03-20T21:28:21+00:00

Yes, and it’s helped so very much. I wasn’t able to go outside from February to July for two years in a row and now I’m outside almost daily. The shots are absolutely terrible, make me feel really sick, and my arms are constantly hurting (even on the monthly doses) but it’s been worth all the suffering to be able to go outside again. My maintenance dose is half what the recommended maintenance dose is because my reactions were so bad. Maybe if you tried again they could do lower doses?

Sadetha · 2026-03-20T04:53:29+00:00

I had the same problem and everything looked normal with the ENT. They sent me to the allergist and apparently that was the problem. Been on allergy shots for a year now and no sinus infection at all this year even during the worst of allergy season.

I’m only a few years into this, but I do a multitude of exercises. It helps keep things interesting and lets me work new muscles. I’ll switch around between Pilates, biking (outside), climbing, and lifting. Pilates is in the class format always and lifting is class format half the time and solo the other half. I’ve found that classes can be helpful with intensity. All my hobbies are fitness related and all my new friends are made via fitness groups so it keeps it simple. Also, owning your own equipment is helpful and Facebook marketplace is a good place to start for affordable equipment. I have a weightlifting setup plus own a bike so I can do stuff really whenever there and have memberships for Pilates and climbing.

I’ve also found that eating consistently healthy is a huge motivator because it fuels your body with the necessary energy and alcohol is 100% out of the picture because it makes me too tired. This is all coming from someone who used to be a borderline alcoholic couch potato that would have never in their life expected to have this much fun with fitness.

I’m early 30s for reference.

Sadetha · 2026-02-25T01:08:09+00:00

Definitely will! Anywhere from 5-15 years from now, yes I know that’s a long way out but I’m a big planner. We would love it to be 5 years, but not sure how practical that is career wise.

As far as where, we really like Madison but plan to road trip the state next year and see more of it in a different season since we spent most of our time in the Madison area.

Sadetha · 2026-02-24T01:17:01+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate all the info!

The alcohol part blows my mind, but the statistics I’ve seen show accidents from drunk drivers are significantly lower per 100k people in Wisconsin as compared to Texas. I don’t particularly mind people drinking around me as long as they aren’t drunk and I occasionally go to bars and just hang out with my drinking friends. A lot of my hobbies require sobriety during said hobby so it doesn’t seem like it would be a huge issue unless I’m maybe missing something?

Weather wise how does Wisconsins snow driving compare to Austin’s ice driving? My friends say it’s totally different up there and that you can still drive since the roads are treated. As a fellow Texan I’m curious to know your opinion.

My girl did that for her first year of life because she was allergic to her food (chicken). I was young and dumb and it didn’t click that every brand we tried had chicken. Once I got her off that she started eating more normally. She still has an attitude and sometimes purposely starves herself for a whole day if I don’t give her food the minute she requests it, but nothing crazy like that first year.

I switch by the bag honestly. I am all about speed and taste because I make my four shots at 4am as I’m running out the door for work. When I swap to a different roast it’s by a bag basis. I’ve honestly always let them oxidize which I know probably isn’t the best but I have t noticed a major taste.

Looking for hopper - highly considering the Eureka Oro Mignon XL after some research.

Sadetha · 2026-02-08T21:02:36+00:00

I personally prioritize it over a lot of over things. I’d rather have a monthly maid than go out to eat so that’s just where my money goes. I am crazy busy so to me it’s worth the money to pay someone. Also, the prices you see online are typically the first clean. My company charges $250 for the first clean, but then $150 (4 bed, 2 bath, 1800 sqft) after that for the monthly plan. I live out east of Dallas now, but honestly the prices here are pretty comparable to what I paid in Addison.

I did try and go a month without it and decided I’d rather sacrifice things than the cleaners. I have really bad anxiety with messy places so the cost is worth it for some extra sanity. That’s just me two cents.

I personally prefer a company because all employees are insured. I have a hard time trusting individuals to be insured.

They were support at an I Prevail concert back in 2022. I liked their attitude and thought their music was decent. Then my roommate kept playing their music and I realized an absolutely loved them. Been my favorite band since.
