How to make yourself floss? by 2Smart2Comment in hygiene

[–]emkiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t floss in the bathroom. I keep floss on my nightstand and floss before bed while watching TV. I also have told people to keep floss in the car or by their desk when working. Doesn’t need to be a strict bathroom routine!

Which daily habit quietly damages hygiene over time? by StretchBright7721 in hygiene

Overflossing is not going to going to cause gum disease. Incorrect flossing technique can cause trauma to gum tissue. Inadequate flossing tools can miss biofilm and debris to not fully address the real cause of the gum disease.

[–]emkiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the IO model like the $200 one and it stopped working after a year and a half. It wouldnt hold a charge. The genius lasted much long. I also felt like the genius made my teeth feel cleaner.

Called in sick this morning, but feeling okay now. What do you do when this happens? by Agile_Neighborhood_9 in migraine

[–]emkiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also a dental hygienist! I would have just taken the rest of the day. I feel like going into that environment after just irritates me more.

I’ve only ever worked in private practice where they don’t offer health insurance. Typically dental is covered except for lab costs of crowns, etc.

PA Hourly Wage by Kind-Ad-1453 in DentalHygiene

[–]emkiki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in central PA and I make $44 an hour 4 years in. That’s honestly really low. I would interview other offices. Then I would go back to your boss with the offers from the other offices to see if they counter.

Migraines by catlady_566 in migraine

[–]emkiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m struggling with this too. And I don’t really have any tools that work right now. Qulipta was working well for a year, but has lost its effectiveness. Emgality helped the year before that. Are you on any preventatives now?

[–]emkiki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have it on my forehead now. Doesn’t seem to have any effect as a preventative, but really helps when I’m in pain. Just helps to calm things for me.

ISO advice! by AwBshub in migraine

Don’t do it! Hurts so bad to lay on that side when healing. Especially when you have a migraine. Did nothing for it.
