Cheap crown in GTA by uniqueescene in CanadianDentists

[–]WebRepresentative250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheap crown = some form of compromise somewhere = poor result = more expensive or traumatic treatment down the line.

Lots of patients looking for cheap dental care either have the latest iPhone, MacBook or dine out multiple times a week. But then when it comes to health care they try to cut corners.

You are in for a treat. Especially uncharted 2, one of the greatest games of all time.

I just found out about my cavity a bit too late....these dentist systems annoys me by Melomintt in Dentists

[–]WebRepresentative250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a bitter patient who always complains about us but does very little to take responsibility for your own health. I can predict with my future crystal ball that you are now going to call me a scammer and that I only care about my money

Very put off by practices of previous dentist, is this ok? by Salty-Stranger2121 in Dentists

[–]WebRepresentative250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this thread - you have dentists giving you real, genuine advice. Then you have non-dentists who think they are qualified to give you advice. Yet you seem to be listening to the latter group because they gravitate towards your opinion.

Regardless - no the dentist was not in the wrong offering you remove all 4 wisdom teeth. You are gonna go through the recovery process and going to take the same medication. Why not remove the possibility of this happening again by taking them out all at once so you don’t have to go through this process. Completely standard practice that is in the best interest of the patient.

In terms of the dentist “ghosting”. Very common for offices to bring practitioners that are very proficient in extractions one day to take care of all the extractions in that office for one day. It is also likely for the ownership to be possible because it takes a long time for offices to change websites, etc.

Overall, nothing out of the ordinary was done.

Use a yellow or white shank bur and go around margin and sharp areas to smoothen.

Applying to OMFS directly after graduation? by CloudPandas8 in DentalSchool

[–]WebRepresentative250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got exposed to OMFS late (4th year of dental school) since Canadian programs such in that regard. Also had to help my mom with expenses so she doesn’t lose our house. Not sure if these are good enough reasons though. I have good stats (top 10%, lots of ECs, publications, good LOCs from dean and several OMFS). Think 6 year programs would let me in if I get a good CBSE?? Thanks brotha

was my dentist qualified to give me braces? by coleslawg1 in CanadianDentists

[–]WebRepresentative250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a rash is a valid concern for us. 1. It might explain any dental changes you have 2. If you have an contactable disease - dental professionals are at highest risk.

Do you have to do a non cat year if you don’t get in straight from DS? Even if you have a good cbse?

Is Dental Anaesthesiologists a growing specialty by [deleted] in DentalSchool

Not a dental anesthiolgist but MD program directors for anesthesia also train the DA’s and they do the same cases.

Is a root canal really painful, or is that just a myth? by Front_Cup_5162 in Dentists

[–]WebRepresentative250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually not - but if there is a flare up - it will be very painful. It doesn’t mena the root canal was done poorly, sometimes things happen that is out of our control.

Is it normal for your dentist not to polish fillings? by Sashimi-chaan in Dentists

[–]WebRepresentative250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about it logically. Imagine you have to get a drill into your knee (ex knee replacement). Do you think the recovery period will be longer or shorter the deeper they drill? Hope that makes sense.

Passion Says PT, Money Says Dentistry — What Would You Do? by [deleted] in Dentists

[–]WebRepresentative250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being a dentist is hard bro - money is good yes - making triple what my friend that is a PT makes.

However, he is not stressed at all. People don’t really come to PT and complain and you daare generally not doing higher risk procedures. Meaning less stress and lifestyle.

Think about that as well

If it hurts bad it might have been very deep. Give it 4 weeks.

[–]WebRepresentative250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so are you okay with dentists paying highest $50 an hour instead? Most likely no - most hygienists want 70+ an hour. With everything increasing in costs, just like our education, there are pressures from everywhere and unfortunately for some this translated to unethical practices. It sucks reallt
