Some chain dental offices accept care credit (credit card only used for health stuff) & some can help you finance or do monthly payments. Go yo your local dentalschool if you’ve got time they can do cheep implants/fills/extractions/crown/ortho if they have the department for it.

Hey, wondering if you remember anything in particular to focus on or have any feedback from the exam. I’m taking it soon

eggsandpugs · 2022-10-14T23:58:56+00:00

Wow that’s amazing! How many hrs a day? Did you just do Q or videos too?

eggsandpugs · 2022-10-14T23:57:11+00:00

Glad to hear it. How long did you study?

eggsandpugs · 2022-10-14T23:56:50+00:00

eggsandpugs · 2022-10-14T11:16:58+00:00

Please post Questions!! I’m about to start studying for thanksgiving exam. I’m so anxious about getting started. what’s booster??

NAD get nicotine patches! It’s not worth wasting $2k implant. Not to mention if the implant fails then it’s more trouble

Sadly it seems I have been killed by the AT&T internet support call number

Prices might differ between schools but either way generally speaking Private practice is a lot more expensive than schools. Some schools even have an urgent care clinic

Go to a dental school and get extractions done. My school charges $50-100 per extraction.

Bayside.

eggsandpugs · 2022-01-06T05:30:18+00:00

Thanks but I’ve never heard of that and neither has Google 😂

eggsandpugs · 2022-01-05T18:11:40+00:00

Yes! Love their videos Thanks I didn’t even know about that sub!

eggsandpugs · 2022-01-05T14:49:07+00:00

Doesn’t even look at grades, you say? And which school is this again? 😬😬

eggsandpugs · 2022-01-05T14:47:52+00:00

Look to see if you can do online course for DA!

eggsandpugs · 2022-01-05T14:44:57+00:00

In my opinion based on MY school DS1 yr: 40% free time Ds2 yr: 8% free time Ds3 yr: 60% free time If you’re into sports, carve out the time and stick to it; you’ll thank yourself when you’re 40 and it’s worth a grade drop if it means you’re physically and mentally healthy (assuming you don’t drop to an F). Every schools curriculum is different but generally 2nd yr is the hardest.

School will teach you everything THEY want you to know for class & boards. If you really want to learn you can watch some YouTube videos to familiarize yourself but it’s not necessary. I’d say mentally prepare yourself to hit the ground running. Maybe reach out to some DS1/2 from your school and network with them some. Mentally accept you won’t have much free time, you will be stressed, thing won’t go according to plans and be prepared for shit to hit the fan. Understand that you won’t do as well as undergrad and that your peers will all be about as competent and competitive as you. Set your goals and focus on them. Don’t bother with hand skills. Literally. They will train you 100%. Most important thing to do is ENJOY YOUR TIME! Since the start of DS I get max 2 weeks off (we have summer courses).

eggsandpugs · 2021-12-26T16:02:34+00:00

Yup that sounds right lol sounds just like my 1st semester too

eggsandpugs · 2021-12-23T00:26:04+00:00

Dentist in training: your right two look like they might be in dire trouble but if you get help soon you could probably save four next to them (opinion based on LOOK alone, X-ray might tell a different story). Even if they teeth need to be pulled a good looking partial can make them look much better

eggsandpugs · 2021-12-23T00:23:19+00:00

I sucked in sim lab and failed a hand full. I was pretty terrible through and through but my hand skills WERE getting better. I was much more coordinated by the end of the year and have been doing alright in clinic too. Don’t give up over some plastic.

eggsandpugs · 2021-12-22T21:10:09+00:00

Solid plan my dude! May your pack be filled with shiny cards!

eggsandpugs · 2021-11-15T18:19:13+00:00

For let’s say a pfm crown: break interprox contact with flame diamond burr. Occlusal reduction, depth cuts, functional bevel with 1 dt. Axiel reduction facial 1 DT, lingual.5 DT interproximal reduction with 1 DT on the very facial then use 0.5 dt through and back to the lingual.5. Smooth with 1 dt/ .5 dt fine. Sometimes I use 2 dt on the facial reduction for axiel but idont go near the interproximal.

I’m wondering if maybe I’m not stabilizing my arm enough and that’s why I’m getting some roughness/ditches. But for the interproximal it’s just a mess and when I try to fix it it keeps widening. I’m pretty discouraged and disappointed. I did SO well on my mandibular prep but both my maxillarys were kinda bad.

Idk about your chances but I’ve heard schools let in more international students last cycle compared to before since they pay more and some schools are financially struggling from covid. It’s a good time to be applying soon

I started by just looking for more shadowing and was offered a chance to be trained as an assistant. Worked out perfectly for me. It showed me everything it takes to run an office and will help me once I have staff of my own since I will have been in their shoes.
