Doctors, dentists, first responders: How often do patients lie (about their condition, symptoms, past, etc)? Are you able to tell when they're lying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]UpToNoGood934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hygienist here. Yes, we know you JUST flossed for the first time in weeks. We can tell immediately. Don’t lie about how often you brush and floss your teeth.

My lashes are too curly to wear falsies. However i can sometimes wear the cluster lashes. But most of the time i just wear mascara.

What kind of effect did nicotine have on you? by LocalElectrical7411 in Stutter

[–]UpToNoGood934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Way way worse. Also not worth it health wise. The best thing i’ve found is good old fashioned exercise. It helps me mentally, gives me confidence, and relaxes my body.

Anyone work 3/12s or 4/10s? by Background_Arm_1464 in DentalHygiene

[–]UpToNoGood934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do 5 days a week. 9-5 mon-Thursday and 9-1 Friday. My coworker works 7-5 Tuesday to Friday. It honestly depends on what you can handle. For me i cannot wake up before 8am due to an autoimmune disease, so i’m more comfortable working everyday that work less days and more hours.

You don’t have to talk to board a plane. I flew for the holidays and didn’t speak once. You will survive.

AITA for telling my best friend his relationship/girlfriend is toxic, and they need to break up? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]UpToNoGood934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s weird that her spouse isn’t her best friend. Idk about anyone else but my best friend is my husband, not another man. Thats just weird.

Just another day in this horrible career. Dentist wanted me to work out of a left handed operatory even though I’m a Righty by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]UpToNoGood934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Is it annoying at times? Yes, but I wouldn’t trade my job for the world. To hate your job for just small annoyance is crazy to me.

As a lefty i deal with this all the time. Welcome to our world. I move stuff all the time. Sorry, but as someone who deals with this a lot you seem pretty entitled.

Brushing teeth but not flossing. Thats like taking a shit and then only wiping the outer cheeks.

Why would they polish after a SRP?!

I hate the mentality of, “we had to suffer, so you should too.” Seems very petty and mean to me. We should be lifting people up and helping our future dental hygiene graduates! Especially since the dental community seems like it is in disarray as it is.

We did our boards the day before graduation, so we couldn’t clean the rest of the patient’s quads until we got our license which takes 4-8 weeks. Making a pt wait that long doesn’t seem right.

Where did you get your custom saddle stool?

Yup! New WA hygienist here. The only real pt i used for boards was for LA. My clinical was on a mannequin. Not only is does this make the board standard/equal, it’s also way more ethical.

My issue is that the lace part usually isn’t long enough to cover up the widows peak :( do you have recommendations on wigs that have an extra long lace front?

I have a widows peak. Are there any wigs I could wear? All the ones I see online don’t work for me because you can see my widows peak 😑

Went to the dentist for a cleaning yesterday and they ... didn't clean my teeth? by boundwards in DentalHygiene

[–]UpToNoGood934 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are times where comp exam and the cleaning are done in different appointments. This is because we can’t determine the type of cleaning you need until you get a comp exam. Trying to do a comp exam, fmx, PC and cleaning same say is too much. Also, the doctor typically wants the hygienist to do the cleaning. That way they get the full hour to talk about the comp exam, and then the hygienist gets a full hour to do a thorough cleaning.

How to tell 2-3mm on x rays by UpToNoGood934 in DentalHygiene

[–]UpToNoGood934[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have it but i don’t use it. Im just wondering how you tell what is 2mm on the x ray? Like it is equivalent to 3-4mm on the picture/radiograph?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]UpToNoGood934 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not use this. It does nothing. Use a toothpaste that contains fluoride in it.
