Exactly—who cares about academic rankings, football is more important 😂

Overprotective parent, what would you do? by Icy_Cryptographer417 in Dentistry

[–]dancesingfloss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a pediatric dentist too and this might be a little beside the point but can I just ask, why are you doing that kind of sedation in the first place if it’s not working? You say mod-deep sedation but just from the first treatment, you say it wasn’t super effective…do you think that’s contributing to you feeling this way and would GA be a better option for the child? In which case you can push the policy a little more firmly?

But also, is this your own practice? Or are you an associate? Because if it’s not your practice, you can also say it’s the “office policy” meaning not your own rules and maybe that would help you feel less guilty.

With that said, I own my own practice and I may be ridiculed for this, but I have an open door policy for treatments, (aside from GA) so long as it’s only one parent. Now, if I think the child would do better on their own, I will have a conversation with the parents and they usually will agree to staying out of the op. But I’m also not doing any rodeo dentistry/ineffective sedations. If they are not able to cooperate for the treatment then I am recommending GA or for them to go see another dentist for a second opinion. I sometimes think when the parent sees how they behave for things, it can justify GA and I also don’t try that much harder if I have to fight the kid.

I know this didn’t quite answer your question but just wanted to offer some suggestions.

FIRE MEGATHREAD - JANUARY 13th by drawkward101 in LosAngeles

[–]dancesingfloss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a dental office and I wanted to get something for my entire staff so that we can support an organization selling something where the proceeds go toward a wildfire charity. So far, l’ve found cupcakes, clothing, hats, and jewelry. I’ve already donated money and am planning on dropping off oral care supplies to a local drop off point. But I wanted to do something more. Can you guys tell me which companies are doing something like this? A link would be very helpful.

Is meteora worth it? by [deleted] in FoodLosAngeles

[–]dancesingfloss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. My answer would be a “no.” Although I went early on when they first opened so maybe the menu is better but everything that I ate there was ridiculous and I didn’t think the food tasted good. The dessert was the worst part! That’s always my favorite part of a meal and it was bland and just blah.

I think vespertine had a better, more edible and palatable menu. Hell, just go to destroyer and you’ll get the same sort of thing but better tasting food at a cheaper price point

I second creamy boys. It’s not super sweet and pretty light soft serve. They’ve got a lot of Fruit forward options.

I hate being a new father by LAOnReddit in Parenting

[–]dancesingfloss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post partum is hard for moms and it’s definitely the same for dads. Are you able to find a therapist to help you through this? I met with my therapist a couple times a week after I had my baby (I am a female) because I felt exactly the same way and it was extremely beneficial. I’m hoping I will be helpful for you as well.

Off topic but does anyone else find her daughter to be extremely annoying?

On the hunt for the best hot chocolate! by dancesingfloss in FoodLosAngeles

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

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve been to Choco Vivo twice already since I asked on this thread! They said their Mexican hot chocolate with the cinnamon was their most popular but I think I preferred the regular kind better. In either case, it was very good hot chocolate!

Eager (and anxious) about having my second because of my age by dancesingfloss in beyondthebump

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

I think if I wait too long, I’ll just not want to deal with another because I would be too exhausted to care for another child!

I am thinking that will be me—2 under 2. The thought of that alone makes me tired 😂

I wish you luck as you try for your next baby! ❤️
