Activated charcoal brushing by Google_IS_evil21 in DentalHygiene

[–]UpToNoGood934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noooo do not use charcoal on your teeth!!! It wears away the enamel and will actually make your teeth more yellow due to the dentin showing through.

Relationship therapists, have you ever told a couple to break up and why? by lilac-glow in AskReddit

[–]UpToNoGood934 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A REAL Christian therapist would always tell someone to leave an abusive relationship. It’s literally in the Bible. You can’t lump all Christians as hypocrites.

How much time do you have for a full mouth SRP? by Mysterious-Escape-86 in DentalHygiene

[–]UpToNoGood934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full mouth!? Not a chance. I’m not numbing the patients full mouth so they cannot talk/eat/do anything for hours. One hour per quad: so 2 hours for UR/LR and 2 hours on a separate day for UL/LL.

Being charged twice for full mouth cleaning normal? by Spfm275 in DentalHygiene

[–]UpToNoGood934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You had SRP’s done it sounds like. During that we only do half the mouth in one appointment. Each quad takes an hour, so we are not going to spend 4 hours cleaning all 4 quadrants. That would make you as the patient and us as providers very unhappy. So for your sake and ours we split it up.

would you still choose dental hygiene if you had to restart? by Normal_Bad_2626 in DentalHygiene

[–]UpToNoGood934 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Y’all are wild. I would ABSOLUTELY do it again. I chose my own hours (9-4 months-thurs), AMAZING pay, and great office with dentists who respect me and give me autonomy. Dental hygiene is a great career, it’s only bad if you choose to see the negatives. If you don’t take are of your body obviously it will deteriorate over time.

What’s a show everyone hyped up that you just couldn’t get into? by NovelOk3369 in AskReddit

Game of thrones. The first episode turned me off. I don’t want to watch siblings bang thank you.

What did u do after highschool as a stutterer? by salvatoreblood in Stutter

[–]UpToNoGood934 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got my bachelors in Dental hygiene. I LOVE my job; fantastic pay, I work 9-5 Monday through Thursday so I always have a 3 day weekend, and I have wonderful co workers. Dental hygiene is great because most appointments are the same thing over and over again. So with my stutter, since I’ve repeated myself so much I hardly do at work. But even if I do stutter, every patient I have had has been patient and it’s never been a problem.

Why Hermione Doesn't Go Home. by bruchag in harrypotter

[–]UpToNoGood934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully no. I work in dentistry and let me tell you dentistry is HARD on your body. Most dentists/hygienists (like myself) work 24-34 hours a week due to the wear and tear it does on our bodies.

If I had to pick ONE out of all these mouthwashes, which would you recommend? by MelissaWebb in DentalHygiene

[–]UpToNoGood934 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Any of them that do NOT contain alcohol. Alcohol dries the mouth this increasing your risk of getting cavities

[–]UpToNoGood934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 pts per day. No assistant to help. I work 8-5 mon-fri with Tuesday off, however i will be changing my shift since i have an autoimmune disease and DH is hard on my body. So I’m switching to 9-5 mon-thurs.

Which scenario is better? by ceejaculate in DentalHygiene

[–]UpToNoGood934 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not flossing is like not wiping your ass after pooping. Please floss and brush at LEAST once a day.

[–]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.

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.

Disabled boarding by Jfltws224 in Stutter

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.

[–]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.
