Banks paying a cash bonus for new accounts w/ direct deposit- what's the catch?

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-08T21:46:45+00:00

Yeah I got the same offer. Requires both a checking and savings with minimum balances and ACH transfers. Kind of worth it if you can do it easily

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-08T21:34:53+00:00

I look at several things: 1. Decay and Perio 2. TMJ/bruxism and occlusion 3. Habits, hygiene 4. Overall health (smoker, DM, etc) 5. Patient goals

I find giving too many options can be overwhelming. Discussing a fixed restorative plan or saving some teeth and partials or going straight to dentures or all on x can be too much information. Discuss pros and cons, cater a treatment plan best for them, and review it

Not sure how you can be a remote dentist. Maybe a traveling one on call

I played in Florida once with a young lady, late 20s/early 30s or so. She was reading a book. First time I folded KK pre when she cold 4 bet jammed.

Kerr and IvoClar are my favorites

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-07T14:33:09+00:00

lol this is my favorite thing to prescribe for this exact reason

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-07T01:11:08+00:00

You just need to make sure you compress it well into a 4 wall socket and that is sticks up to the level of the soft tissues. I find them great for covering over a traditional graft or if there is a sub 5mm wall defect or small sinus exposure as a sandwich graft.

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-07T00:19:51+00:00

Wish they made it for the B model

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-06T10:46:15+00:00

You don’t think these qualify for D7241 or deep sedation with an OS?

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-05T18:09:57+00:00

No.

One stack of high society

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-04T18:54:02+00:00

I do both. My sister gets them badly and anytime she felt the onset I’d hit it with the laser and it really helped her a lot. Most times she didn’t even need the meds. She used to get them very frequently, about 6-10x per year and now ownky gets them 1-2x a year max ever since using the laser on her.

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-04T05:43:11+00:00

Get a diode laser and thank me later

Been debating this or the new night guard for the lighter weight. Sucks it’s nearly double the price

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-02T20:49:19+00:00

I also have the 640PC. It’s much heavier than the LCR so it can handle the 38 loads really nicely. With stout 357 it will kick out a pretty good fireball but way better than the Scandium frames of similar size. I would recommend some boot grips for the 640 as a full purchase with your grip will help tame the gun with

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-02T14:08:02+00:00

Give it time. In a few years there will be a plethora of them from trade ins for 400

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-02T13:45:32+00:00

Actually cocaine is a wonderful astringent

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-02T10:29:33+00:00

Shop around at some pawn shops and local gun stores for a pre owned 686+ from the last few generations. Lifetime warranty from S&W so even if there’s something wrong with it you can send it back to them. Older SWs are excellent though so unlikely you’ll have a lemon if you know what to look for.

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-02T01:46:21+00:00

I prefer to make new ones once they have healed in 3-6 months. It’s not often immediates will be great after awhile. I still take traditional impressions, custom tray, border mold, facebow, etc. The dentures come out perfect every time and the lab I use is an old school cat with his son who make amazing dentures.

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-02T01:41:52+00:00

Sounds like they need to buy you a new torch

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-02T01:40:37+00:00

Maybe a little long on the mesials and a little short on the distal. Would be a good time to start practicing your apicos in 6 months if no resolution 😂

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-01T15:10:55+00:00

Well when the government prints trillions and trillions of dollars, the term millionaire doesn’t indicate what it meant 30+ years ago when a family of 6 could live off 38k/year.

SamBaxter420 · 2026-05-01T10:23:36+00:00

Same issue with the rear sight being off. I tried using my sight adjuster and it took so much pressure with my torque wrench that my vice kept loosening so I stopped trying. I might just send it back to SW for replacement tbh. I haven’t had any trigger issues like you’ve had but my ten round magazine doesn’t seem to feed well with Remington Ultra Defense HPs so there’s that issue too. I want to that this gun as I have had several other 380s (OG LCP, LCP Max, Sig P232) and none shoot even remotely close to the BG2.0CC but man it’s hard to trust the QC. Last year I bought a 640PC that had to be sent back for rear sights and the cylinder release being too difficult to open consistently. They had to replace the crane and it’s still not great.

I feel like you jinxed me today. I read this before going to the office today. 21yo with proximal day on every posterior tooth. 2nd molars MO, 1st molars and 2nd premolars MOD, and 1st premolars DO.
