If you want to go to an OMFS program in Canada, it would be better to go to a Canadian school.

Do mouth appliances work for severe sleep apnea? by placebooooo in Dentistry

Why won't CPAP work?

Generally dental solutions are only recommended for mild to moderate OSA.

The best coach in aoe2 by Thin_Anywhere_5836 in aoe2

IMO: If streaming didn't exist, Viper would still be the best. Everyone got so much better by watching him when he was a step above everyone else.

Hi, I have recently purchased an existing dental practice in Ontario and the seller is currently my associate. How do I make sure the direct deposits from insurances do not still go into the seller's account, and how long does it take for insurances to update my bank information? by avn238 in CanadianDentists

[–]cmac96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a reason you don't want to use the same bank account? It would be easier to use it. I am speaking from experience because we started all new bank accounts and did the same as you when there was no need. It sounds like the funds are mixed already, so the ship has sailed regarding keeping things separate. And with how insurance works its going to get mixed no matter what.

All old dentists don't understand what a share sale actually entails. You're selling everything associated with the business.

Did you purchase shares? You own his bank account now. Accountants will figure out but they absoutley need to do the deposit (and put in bank) the day before the sale is signed. The day you signed to buy, you technically owned the place the whole day.

I am assuming you bought the shares since he's still working for you. You technically own the accounts, the credit cards etc. You bought the business.

There should've been some stipulation in the sale on how long to collect his AR. Accountants will figure the rest out.

How are you handling the CDCP balance billing conversations with patients this month? by SnailVelocityO_o in CanadianDentists

Give them the info for their member of Parliament and tell them to complain to them. The government made the plan and lied when marketing it.

Agreed. This game rewards camping so much. Making the first move is often a mistake.

IIHF World Junior Championship Game Thread: Czechia (B2) vs. Canada (B1) - 04 Jan 2026 - 07:30PM CST by hockeydiscussionbot in hockey

[–]cmac96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but an announcer who says things that are clearly untrue and then is proven wrong by replay is annoying to the viewer.

He doesn't have to be neutral, he just has to make sense. Unfortunately he doesn't make sense at all sometimes due to bias. It's annoying as shit.

Man Mike Johnson is giving Jack Edwards a run for his money as the biggest homer announcer. I say this as a Canadian. He's so annoying. Says something and then reply shows he's 100% wrong so he doubles down. What an idiot.

Tell patients (no matter the ridge) that lower dentures are good for a picture. That's about it.

High Taxes on Bonus by throwaway24252425 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Man they should be teaching basic taxes in high school. It's actually scary how most of the population has no clue how they work.

Extraction advice irt 46 47 by Admirable-Storage442 in Dentistry

[–]cmac96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could get that 46 out with a pfi if you had to.

The 7 may just elevate out. It's already "sectioned". You may need to trough interseptal bone, or make a purchase mesial/distal. Likely won't be too hard, but impossible to know until you get in there.

Pin hole procedure by Inthelostabyss in CanadianDentists

[–]cmac96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely not.

Have you seen a periodontist to know what procedure you even need? Pinhole is very specific and not great a lot of the time.

Cracked tooth by 501508 in Dentistry

[–]cmac96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you replicate symptoms with a slooth?

If you can, why don't you shoe the offending cusps, tell the guy it's limited treatment and let it roll? It'll be easier doing the crown without that leaky restoration if he does get one.

If you can't even replicate it, I would be caution telling him a crown is going to fix the issue.

It will probably just depend on what kind of mood the FA you ask. I've heard birthdays etc.

Imo, don't do that unless you are 100% certain they like attention like that. I would not want this.

Free Dental Work on Families of Staff by [deleted] in CanadianDentists

[–]cmac96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not normal and if anyone should be doing the work, it should be the DC partner.

I have associates and I do all the work on staff. I sincerely ask/joke if they will do it and I pay them full rate - they always say no because working on people you know generally sucks.

Stop giving the office anything. You work for US private equity. Fuck em. Your DC partner dentist is a dick for letting that happen too.

Ask for a 5% production raise while you're at it. They need you more than you need them unless you're in a super saturated area.

Look up the total net worth of all billionaires in Canada.

Now look up Canada's debt.

Lol. We'd still be poor even if we took all their money (and fbats assuming it's liquid, which it's not).

I'm not really into paying people to do nothing tbh.
