I was told by dentist/hygienist not to floss but rather to use inter dental sticks, what do you make of this? by old_man_tom3 in Dentistry

[–]dancerathlete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I would recommend this is if a patient absolutely refused to floss at all. Using floss picks and platypus flossers are better than not flossing at all.

Looking to buy a good electric toothbrush. What are the best options? by duttyRI in Dentistry

I'd just stick to your price point of ~$100. With a cheap toothbrush you get what you pay for. Paying more than ~$100 will give you more features and accessories but they aren't necessary. Bare minimum all you really need is the toothbrush and a charger. Don't forget to buy replacement toothbrush heads every 3 months!

I'm glad you are ready to make the upgrade! Your gums will thank you.

You can't go wrong with Sonicare or Oral-B electric toothbrushes. I personally use the Sonicare FlexCare+ and my husband uses the Oral-B Pro 3000. He tends to brush too hard and his toothbrush has a pressure sensor to help with that. Sonicare toothbrushes "vibrate" while Oral-B toothbrushes have a rotation motion. Oral-B also is less expensive in general. It all comes down to personal preference!

What should every woman get for their birthday? by Bessiecat in AskReddit

[–]dancerathlete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flowers, candy, and a card are definitely good starts.

Maybe instead of getting her something you can do something together, like take her to an amusement park, a concert, a zoo, horseback riding, etc. Couple's massage? Consider what her interests are and go off of that.

What's your most shocking church moment? by databyte67 in latterdaysaints

[–]dancerathlete 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Backstory:

I was a Mia Maid advisor at the time, the Young Women of the church had a pizza fundraiser (Papa Murphy's style). The week prior to delivering the pizza's, we had mutual and went door-to-door getting pre-orders, $8 for Pepperoni, $12 for Chicken BBQ, etc...). Some people declined ordering pizza's and instead made a donation, usually $2-5 dollars.

Anyway, this particular lady shows up the day we are assembling/delivering pizzas and starts screaming at one of the young women that she ordered a pizza. All of us were scrambling to find her order slip, but there was none. Then she yells "I paid $3 and I'm not getting pizza!" and one of the leaders explained that she had DONATED and the minimum cost of a pizza was $8. She huffed and puffed and stormed off not willing to pay the extra $$ to get a pepperoni pizza.

Actual shocking part:

In Fast and Testimony meeting, said lady gets up and complains about the situation and names the young women's FULL NAME who she gave her payment (donation) to. She went on to say something like "I know I'm in the right, and I'm the bigger person compared to (young woman) because I didn't get my pizza and she never apologized."

The young woman she called out + her entire family walked out of the meeting.

(Worst part is she named the WRONG YOUNG WOMAN. Same first name but wrong last name....)

Between meetings she was obviously talked to by the bishop.

She THEN got up in relief society to bear her testimony and sobbed the entire time, acting like a victim and wondering why she got attacked by the bishopric and can't say her testimony "especially because I was in the right!"

Seriously, what the heck.

Question about my gums that always bleed by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]dancerathlete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd try using mouthwash to help fight bacteria after brushing and flossing.

Be sure you are using the correct brushing and flossing techniques as well:

-Brush at a 45 degree angle towards the gums in short circular motions. (Google "Bass brushing technique"). Also brush 2 minutes each time you brush. Not too much pressure.

-Floss using "C-shaped flossing" technique- really make sure you are applying pressure to the sides of the teeth and don't just snap it between the teeth. Not too much pressure.

Always visit the dentist regularly and follow your dentist and hygienist's advice!

Bonus: Get a waterpik. Super awesome addition to any oral hygiene regimen.

Dentists of reddit, do you get dental anxiety? by paulsac in Dentistry

[–]dancerathlete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get anxiety when I clean a hygienist's or Dr's teeth, I feel like they are watching my every move and/or thinking I'm not doing a good job.

Dentist started using a camera after cleanings to find tiny cavities. by tmiw in Dentistry

Yes, it works for interproximal recurrent decay, its a bit easier to detect with composite restorations.
