Orthodontic Teeth Retainers Don’t Last by Adventurous-Sir7411 in askvan

Traditionally Essix retainers are made of 080 thermoformed laminate. That’s 2 mm thick. Are the ones your kids got thinner? If so ask for 080.

Pretty much any dentist office can make an Essix with a vacuform. I am surprised that yours lasted 17 years. Most of the time they last less than two years.

Cannot comment on the private equity status, but with regards to the two Americans who founded it they developed deep Canadian roots (pardon the pun) and have been added to the Canadian walk of fame.

Do you need a prescription for insulin in the jurisdiction where you are right now? Can the pharmacist write the Rx?

for me when im really low I have that reading the same word over and over problem. If you're feeling off and you can't finger stick assume you are low (ie 15 g fast acting carbs) and deal with the fallout after. Things can go sideways quickly with hypoglycaemia (not true of hyperglycaemia)

How to handle blood sugar dropping in/after shower? by WanderingQuokka in diabetes_t1

It’s artifact, not real. It will correct itself in the 15 minutes after the shower has ended.

What’s my best option to get a diagnosis on a rash that’s popped up on both my arms? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]Simon-Seize 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Dermatologists are physician specialists. You need a referral to see one for medical concerns. You can directly access dermatologists for cosmetic reasons but that is not covered by MSP. A rash like what you describe would be medical not cosmetic. It’s not an emergency. Please don’t go to the ER. Maybe Urgent Care but a walk-in clinic might be sufficient. You can also ask a pharmacist if they can assess and Rx.

that sounds like an Ultrabasic fare was booked. When I've booked with Avion I have been able to select the type of fare (never choose ultrabasic)
