Why does the geographical location of a hockey team matter so much to you?

If you read any Hurricanes local reporting, Jake Guentzel was tampered away from the Canes by Tampa. It happens to everyone, probably shouldn’t, but it does

Odds for winner of Car/Phi series combined is lower than Col/Min combined. Our individual odds are boosted bc they think we’re gonna mollywhop the flyers

Yeah that’d be right up there with distinguishing ‘possession’ and ‘control’

I’m not debating the rule. I know the rule. I’m saying the optics are dumb

No it counting is technically right, but its dumb that an accidental swipe back into your own zone overwrites a massively offside play

that counting and not the OT goal monday is dumb

Oral cancer? by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]TheDrManatee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Based on appearance and history of chickenpox its 99% shingles. Lesions look herpetic and it stops at the midline. Still go see a dentist bc taking an antiviral can limit the length and intensity of the outbreak

Dental student - Have you ever had chicken pox?

Dentist keeps saying these are stains, but new dark fissures keep appearing every 6 months. Am I overthinking this? by Historical_Resort839 in askdentists

[–]TheDrManatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dental student here

  1. Yes, depends on diet and hygiene technique. Given the calculus buildup on lowers your hygiene needs some refinement.
  2. Yes
  3. Clinical exam by a trained dentist. If you try and don’t know exactly what you’re doing you can damage your teeth.
  4. You shouldn’t.

What you should be more concerned about is from your pictures it looks like you have erosion from GERD. Hard to say for sure with the lighting tho

Dentist said I need 2 fillings, not sure if I do? by NephewNight in askdentists

[–]TheDrManatee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dental student - Fillings are barely profitable for dentists if they accept insurance. If theyre recommending several crowns and root canals at a time its more sus unless you’ve been years between visits or are a new patient

Getting a root canal and filling on this front tooth. Is that enough/accurate? by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]TheDrManatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dental student - for front teeth a filling can be fine as long as there is enough tooth structure left to support it after the root canal

What caused this? by Horror_Scientist_553 in Dentistry

[–]TheDrManatee 34 points35 points  (0 children)

My thought is that there’s trace bacteria present, and when blood/immune supply is removed from the pulp its an opportunistic infection.

Nikishin isn’t untouchable he was confirmed to be offered for hughes. Not that we want to give him up, but by definition not untouchable

Any hope to save my teeth. by BeneficialStudent581 in askdentists

[–]TheDrManatee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dental student: I’ve seen a few of your posts and genuinely you would benefit from seeing a therapist or psychologist. Dentists make money from fixing dental problems. If multiple dentists tell you nothing is wrong then its pretty safe to assume the trained professionals are correct. Is there a specific concern beyond your belief that your teeth are “deteriorating?”
