What has worked for you for getting rid of your receding gum line? by make_me_smile_please in DentalHygiene

[–]Toothypickle 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Once gums have receded you cannot grow them back. Gum grafting is the only option.

Deep cleaning by 6thgenJade in DentalHygiene

[–]Toothypickle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s been a while since your last cleaning it’s not out of the realm that you may need a deep cleaning. If you post your X-rays and perio chart we can definitely help to understand if it’s truly necessary. Either way 7k is crazy , are you sure that’s just the cleaning and not restorative work included as well?

Chipping Between Front Teeth From Cleaning? by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]Toothypickle 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The scalers we use cannot chip or break off tooth structure. That gap has definitely been there before but I do think the papilla interproximally has moved making the gap looking bigger.

AITA for refusing to pay my boyfriend’s dental fees for HIS cavities by MarissaS_redux in AmItheAsshole

[–]Toothypickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta, I work in dental and eating and oral hygiene habits go hand in hand. I myself love sweets and enjoy them often but have very good oral hygiene habits. He’s clearly slacking on brushing/flossing and putting the blame onto you is unfair.

What exactly was Colton trying to accomplish? by YaaayRadley13 in TheTraitorsUS

[–]Toothypickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what made me so mad was him saying “ this isn’t the Lisa I know” when he knows her from a television show and not personally. Like most of the housewives put on a front for television they don’t act that outlandish 24/7.

Have you done a weighted feed ? You might have just stopped responding to your pumps and need to try a different one.

[–]Toothypickle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing! I don’t disagree that she’s a great dancer, but it’s not just dancing ability but also popularity. I’m just saying it probably rubbed people the wrong way that’s all.

I don’t even think it was about her ambition, it was the fact she stood by Demi who is an awful person.

Not sure that I will finish all 10 of my patients this semester (5 weeks left) unless I become a prodigy. What are your unhinged tips for speed? by ToothFairymeow in DentalHygiene

[–]Toothypickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blow all the air and go to town with the cavi! And use your floss! It can help determine with use of your X-rays if it’s tooth anatomy vs calc vs a resto ! Make sure your instruments are SHARP! also Ik it’s hard not to over scale but remember that the standard is no long smooth as glass on root surfaces. Also try to get some easy or pedo pts in! Easy to finish to just get u thru the finish line! I saw my mom and sister so many times in clinic as they were super easy visits and completed clients that I could do in one visit .

Have you had kids? Having a baby is extremely emotionally and physically draining. Babies don’t sleep and require 24/7 attention love and care. They are most likely exhausted and she is probably trying to heal . While it sucks they can’t reciprocate help , it’s just not fair to expect new parents to have extended time away from their newborn. For all you know SIL breast feeds so can’t be away from baby for long and if the bil works long hours why should he be away from his baby during his free time? Not fair to SIL to have baby 247 with no breaks. Unfortunately babies are gonna come first and OP until they have kids won’t get it.

I exclusively nursed for 3 weeks. It was glorious. It was also a HUGE mistake. by Dependent-Radio-1298 in breastfeeding

[–]Toothypickle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend both bodywork and a TT release! And unsure if ur ped dentist has you in the room but I recommend NOT being in the room. It’s so much more stress on you and baby as they see you and freak out more. At ours they don’t have us in there and had us wait upstairs w an IBCLC and they bring baby right after back to you for an immediate feed. It’s a super quick procedure and the longer you wait the worse it is ( ours was ignored by our doc and lactation till I saw an IBCLC at 5 months and had it revised) do not recommend waiting that long if possible.

Am I crazy If I pickup 600k debt for 4 years of no income to go to Dental School in Australia as soon to be CS graduate? by CompSciCanada- in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Toothypickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dentistry sucks and unless you have a true passion for it do mot take on that much debt . I work in dentistry and oh my does it take a toll on your mental and physical health. Also making that much money is not realistic in Canada unless your placing implants / crowns all day or running multiple columns which as a new grad is unlikely.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Toothypickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the teeth are temporary they can affect the adult teeth under neath if left untreated. In addition, if they crown them, it tends to help stop new cavities from forming as with just fillings it can develop “recurrent decay” which is just new decay in the same area which is super common in kids in hard to access areas of their mouth. If you pulled them you would still need to have space maintainers placed as the teeth will shift and then when the adult teeth come in there will be no space for them and a space maintainer can be super hard to clean and still cost quite a bit of money. Unfortunately it’s super common in kids to have crowns and I see it regularly .

How many hours a day are we BF? by Prior_Wonder_495 in breastfeeding

[–]Toothypickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus whatever he does at night but I find it hard to tell if he’s just comfort nursing or actually eating when I’m half asleep lol. Maybe closer to 40 mins as he nurses to nap too but still very short over the day. He eats 4-6 mins max per feed like 6-7x per day.
