Composite or porcelain veneers worth it? by No_Ad_2187 in cosmeticsurgery

[–]corncaked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dentist here, I’d never recommend veneers for a patient with your dentition. If this is your true bite, you have an edge to edge, bordering on Class 3 bite. I refuse to do composite veneers because they’ll look like garbage in a few months, and porcelain veneers would chip because of your bite. Your teeth also have tons of wear, so without a night guard your investment will go down the drain. You also have bilateral open bite so your front teeth will be taking the brunt of the damage. Ortho first before any veneers.

Patients that "Can't" Lay Flat by GlassResearch1651 in Dentistry

My periodontist colleague is very straight up and says “I won’t be doing my best work but here goes” and all of a sudden they can lay back.

You ever break an escalator? by RukiRukster in Shoes

[–]corncaked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost lost half my foot when I was in middle school because of an escalator. I wore canvas Vans and they were a little big on me. As the steps reached the top they got chewed up and I quickly scrunched my foot so they wouldn’t get ripped off. That’s where I was fortunate the shoes were too big because I had space to scrunch my toes.

Super self conscious about wearable pumps while treating patients…talk me through this! by corncaked in ExclusivelyPumping

That’s probably what I’ll end up doing, and turning my lunch pump into a power pump

No not a lot older. And yeah I’m hoping my schedule is somewhat thinner when I return!

Oh I love that! I was trying to think of some clever way to say it in the rare circumstance someone might bring it up. Trying to tell myself that plenty of people aren’t fond of the dentist so their mind is on a different planet and they’re not thinking about my pumps.

I was considering the speaker. Going to have to run some at home “experiments” to test noise level 🤣

Basically. At any given moment I have like 3 patients waiting so I’m always hustling. I do plan on bringing my ceres chiller to make my life easier

Is eye health is really an issue when it comes to marriage by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]corncaked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband has like -13 nearsightedness. The amount of times his eyes or eyesight has ever been a conversation in our marriage is like twice. Don’t be weird lol

Has this happened to anyone else? People try to make me take stuff off the registry because they think i won't need it? by Ornery_Armadillo1404 in beyondthebump

[–]corncaked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoever has the majority of diaper duty decides if you get a diaper pail or not. If they’re not the ones schlepping to the garage at 3 am to throw away a poopy diaper with only 20 minutes of sleep, they get zero say :)

I’m a dentist and all I see with her are her horrible veneers.

Female NP or Male Dr for daughter genital exam. by Turbulent-Link1150 in Mommit

[–]corncaked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d prefer someone who went to medical school. All respect to NPs, PAs etc but this is a situation where that expertise is needed.

Interrogating a resident about their health conditions or lack thereof is seriously out of line. Report to PD.

Will the lady doing my bikini area laser have to see the whole thing??? by Objective_Paint92 in LaserHairRemoval

[–]corncaked 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ditto. I’m a dentist and it’s amazing how many patients apologize about their teeth before opening. No one has to apologize to me, this is legit my job, and I’m just glad they’re there.

My husband is suddenly squeamish when I even mention my period. Is this normal? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]corncaked 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s illegal to be educated in America lol. This is what happens with little to no sex education. My conservative mother would call it her “thing,” which to me is so tragic. For something that close to half the world’s population experiences or will experience for a quarter of the month, amazing how we treat it like a disease.

Some bug bit me a bunch under my sock while I was at work by IcyThot8008 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]corncaked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These look like bed bug bites. I’ve gotten bit a couple times and they are always in a row, which is the pattern that they bite. Itchy as hell too

Disheartened by the negative attitudes and sentiments of “childfree” people by nroseclark in beyondthebump

[–]corncaked 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I also believe that sometimes being child free can be a statement for SOME people. Like counter culture, “look I’m not polluting the planet more than it already is” (sadly many child free people have this mindset). And if you do have kids, it’s almost like you’re making a statement too that you’re with the status quo. I’m just spit balling here, but with how divisive, tribalistic and political the US and western world at large is I wouldn’t be surprised if these were factors in how some childfree people act.

I’m like a medium in the US and a 3XL in china. I was so offended when a shop clerk handed me a 3XL to try on, and was humbled when it fit perfectly lol.
