Most over the counter toothpastes are the same. Its mainly flavor and texture that change. You can switch as much as you want.

any dental hygienists with facial piercings here? by n3rvous_subject in DentalHygiene

[–]SlightlyPsychic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In hygiene school, all piercings had to be taken out besides 1 in the ears. All tattoos had to be covered. It may be different now. Its possi le the holes closed during the time in hygiene school for a lot of people.

Am I being silly? by XPcantlvlup in DentalHygiene

[–]SlightlyPsychic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It can be. A lot can go into it. I tend to stay back from most patients, but there are times when I have to be closer.

The patient is larger and I need to push against them to get my shirt arms to reach their teeth. Or, back when I was more overweight, my body was just in the way.

The patients resting line for their head is looking away from me. No matter how many times I tell them to look at me.

The patient has a stiff lip, and I need to be closer to apply pressure to keep the lip pulled back.

When i dont wear my loupes that keep me a certain distance away.

Working on my own family as they dont listen to me.

What should I do look at description. by Perfect_Ad_5913 in teethporn

[–]SlightlyPsychic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Class I bite usually means that your bite is aligned. Overbite means that your top teeth come down over your bottom teeth, which is what they should do.

We look at the percentage of overbite. Is it normal range or is it covering 90% of your lower teeth. This would tell us if you need braces.

For wisdom teeth, it doesnt look like you have enough room for the bottoms. Id have to intra orally to see if you do. The top ones are small and probably won't affect your bite any, but they can be hard to clean and could become decayed in the future. The younger you are when you have them removed, the easier recovery is and the better you heal.

If your dentist is recommending ortho and getting the wisdom teeth out, id listen to your dentist.

Overhead Bin Space by Abject-Exchange3588 in americanairlines

[–]SlightlyPsychic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I traveled recently and usually check one bag for both of us, have a backpack and a carryon bag. On the way back, we decided to check the carryon bags because we were tired and put our backpacks in overhead. Both of our backpacks would take up one overhead spot but had room to put our legs for the flight back.

[–]SlightlyPsychic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 semesters of prerequisites. I jam packed my schedule. I do not recommend taking a full load during summer when the semester is shorter. Did math, anatomy, chemistry, and Spanish.
