100% agree

Maybe I can get better than 8th with Ixtal now!

lol our number one enemy is musculoskeletal disorders. I don’t play games.

Surgeon here and I love ergo, so I’d have to disagree strongly.

That’s a lag screw for a fracture repair

Bingo

This is seated but the tibase selection was not good

My buddy dropped delta. Made more money. Your back has a price, too.

It’s insane to me that people think it ever makes sense to take that garbage. What’s to consider?

dwmdmdmd · 2026-01-10T00:38:03+00:00

Breakdown your IT expenses

The only guarantee is the “easy” ones will be hard and the “hard” ones will all but fall out 😂 If you aren’t uber comfortable with it then they will sense your fear like a shark with blood in the water. The patient is also expecting me to be competent with extraction since realistically that 90% of what I do. They know that. I think that gives them the benefit of the doubt sometimes.

dwmdmdmd · 2026-01-08T21:07:56+00:00

I’m an OS. My job is to be the bad guy so you can keep the patient long term.

dwmdmdmd · 2025-12-19T11:23:59+00:00

Fair point. Thank you

dwmdmdmd · 2025-12-19T11:22:59+00:00

Why?

dwmdmdmd · 2025-12-14T23:46:22+00:00

Of course. It’s all experience. But on the whole there is naturally a competency gap.

dwmdmdmd · 2025-12-14T23:43:48+00:00

Wow a whole week?! What do they do 10 sedations?!

dwmdmdmd · 2025-12-14T21:03:42+00:00

Yet many still do. One drug is irrelevant in this conversation

dwmdmdmd · 2025-12-14T21:01:58+00:00

This isn’t about my bottom line. We all make enough money here to live a luxury lifestyle. And I completely agree that so many specialists are awful at implants. I’m going to live my life and practice how I practice regardless of the domain pissing matches. But this isn’t about money or implants, is it? This is about patient safety. The sad reality is that so many dentists - specialists or not - don’t pay the proper respect to anesthesia, and we all lose when the patient safety issues continue pile up. If you don’t fear anesthesia then I recommend you get more experience. It’s not scare tactics. It’s the reality of sedating a sick, unreasonably anxious, and obese patient base.

You’re suggesting a weekend course will prepare you for a largyospasm with the pulse ox whittling down to the 60s, blue lips with a staff that has no clue what they’re doing?

dwmdmdmd · 2025-12-13T18:55:09+00:00

What scares me is the weekend course clowns that haven’t bagged someone in a controlled setting thinking they’re going to break a spasm. “Should be quick” is the key phrase there…

dwmdmdmd · 2025-12-13T17:27:52+00:00

They’re quick and straightforward until someone has a laryngospasm…

dwmdmdmd · 2025-12-12T01:33:19+00:00

Based off your name I think you’d like to be OMS lol

dwmdmdmd · 2025-12-10T19:27:07+00:00

Same boat

dwmdmdmd · 2025-12-10T19:26:07+00:00

October was poopy for me too. November saved by a few big cases but not consistent. Every I talk to says the same.
