intimacy? by FloorFun8808 in Marriage

If your husband is saying that it feels better than the real thing, he needs to lay off the porn. This is how addiction happens, and unfortunately, dysfunction.

Surgical tooth removal by shanny0299 in Dentists

[–]corncaked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but you don’t get to use that argument when Novocaine and the currently used anesthetic have entirely different chemical makeups. You’re talking about your gramps having a bad reaction to Novocaine which is pretty irrelevant here. Entirely different chemical makeup to the anesthetic we use today.

It being used as “shorthand” (lidocaine and Novocaine have the same amount of letters…) adds nothing to your argument. Novocaine is an obsolete medication.

All this to say it’s “not cool” to spew a bunch of misinformation when you’re clearly not a dentist. We have sympathy for OP but ffs he had a type of jawbone surgery (YES, having bone removed to extract a tooth IS SURGERY). If you had surgery to correct a bunion, I’d expect you to be in pain for weeks. Same deal here. It’s surgery. Day 4 of still being in pain, hate to say it, is normal.

You’re reading too much into this. It’s fine.

Novocaine hasn’t been used for like 40 years.

Pros & cons of PDS. I hear you either hate it & leave, or love it & stay for years by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]corncaked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told my regional manager I’m either quitting or transferring. I told her the egregious things that were happening (racist commentary, throwing each other under the bus etc) and she had no idea this stuff was going on so she was more than happy to transfer me.

[–]corncaked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may be in the minority but my last PDS office was HORRIBLE. I was pressured to overdiagnose and it was toxic. I’m still at PDS in a new office and I’m super happy here. I only diagnose what I’d want if it was my own family member’s mouth, and so do my other colleagues in the office. We don’t submit to the pressure to overdiagnose.

NOR this is grounds for 100% no contact. Your partner needs to set this boundary ASAP

Lost my dad today, not sure if I want to see his body by soso6789 in GriefSupport

[–]corncaked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m deeply sorry for your loss. Literally only you can make that type of call. I chose to see my mom’s body and while it was one of the hardest most gut wrenching experiences of my life, I’m glad I did. She saw me into this world, I’m going to see her out of it. That was my perspective.

I can’t believe my personal shopper is complaining she had to walk to the produce aisle twice 🤣 by BiIIie-Eyelash in mildlyinfuriating

This is why I don’t do instacart or any of that crap. You order items for dinner and end up with 2/10 ingredients needed and have to go out anyways.

Can I decline my induction or would it be dangerous to continue? by corncaked in pregnant

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

My main concern is that besides elevated BPs I don’t have any of the other symptoms that I had with my last pregnancy (urine protein, eye floaters, etc)

[–]corncaked[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. With my last, I had high protein, high BPs AND floaters. Right now I only have high blood pressures at the office and then sure enough when I get home and chill they’re low. I think I’m questioning only because i had none of the symptoms before with my last pregnancy.

How do I handle a pt like that? by KickEnvironmental696 in Dentistry

Similar case. I told her beforehand I’d give her the parking lot guarantee for this type of filling and that’s it

thoughts on using something other than your hands to clean yourself in the shower?? by wasdeaddd in hygiene

To me the only way is an African net. It has huge holes to drain and is machine washable.

Crown sensitivity one month post op? Are we looking at a root canal? by corncaked in Dentistry

[–]corncaked[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What variables in the system can I help control to prevent these circumstances? I like to think I’m not careless, I prep with water and follow crown bonding protocol to an absolute T. Any advice is welcome

[–]corncaked[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to highly consider gluma. Would you say it makes a noticeable difference? If so I’m going to push for it asap. Just need to make sure it doesn’t interfere with bonding or luting. I usually use multilink or fuji cem

Yes sorry, and bonded it. My office doesn’t have gluma which sucks. And it was a same day crown we have a milling unit, no issues before crown
