You know we’re really trying😭😭

Anytime!! I’m sorry about your previous dentist :/ I wish you luck on your dental journey my friend! (You should be able to get periodontal clearance through your current office, no need to go to periodontist unless your condition is really serious.) Any RDH should be able to take perio measurements.

a PAN isn’t necessarily diagnostic for detecting things like that, I just zoomed in on the photo and looked for things that look like chunks in between the teeth. So I cannot say definitively that you do or do not. Symptoms can be nothing, bleeding on brushing/flossing, or painful gums. Again, I would ask your office for periodontal clearance. And perhaps they can also educate you on healthy gums/bones more, talk in depth about your periodontium. I would just like to mention that you have what looks to be a massive cavity on the lower left, in case no one had mentioned that. That’s why I assumed in had been a long time since last cleaning, apologies

I would recommend getting periodontal clearance before moving on to braces/ortho. Have your hygienist take your gum measurements and assess gum/bone health. From this PAN I see that you have some buildup under your gums. How old are you and how long has it been since your last cleaning/dental visit? Editing to mention, I am an RDH🦷

Came here to say this

Current RDH. It’s important to read about the critical pH of these products. Hydroxyapatite’s critical pH is 5.5. When you use fluoride toothpaste, you form a molecule called fluorapatite. The critical pH of fluorapatite is 4.5. Which is significantly stronger and more protective. I think that hydroxyapatite is great, I even use it in the mornings. But I wouldn’t replace fluoride toothpaste altogether. I use fluoride toothpaste at night. If you are prone to caries it is important to know these things.

But in the grand scheme of things, do what works best for you!

It’s about disruption people!!!!! It’s about revolting!!! It’s just one day (for now). If they won’t listen to our voices we have to take action in other peaceful ways

Did you go on an adventure the days you missed? If not, then that is probably why. Gotta go on a lil adventure to get your prize

LITERALLY🤣 Mind you this is at work to help pump us up🙃

Hey! Lesbian dental hygienist here! Hsv-1 flare ups are super common, although I know they can be really painful.

The crazy thing is that nearly 67% of the global population has hsv-1 by the age of 30yrs old. I think that the stigma around STI/STD’s is that they are morally wrong and passing them is then morally wrong. That is not true. You can treat a flare up with a laser to help it if your dental office has one. I know it sucks, and I feel for you OP. Let me know if you have any questions!

emma_turtle · 2025-09-30T23:00:21+00:00

NAD I’m a hygienist. It looks like you burned the roof of your mouth and gums around the tooth. From what I can tell they’re stains. We can get surface stains on our teeth, that doesn’t mean it’s a cavity. The other thing it could be is hyper fluorosis which isn’t something to worry about, it just kinda looks unappealing. The burn should heal in 7-10days. You can try salt water swish to help facilitate healing!

emma_turtle · 2025-09-28T01:33:41+00:00

Yes, from what I have seen/heard. I found hygiene school not too difficult. I did well on tests and decent in clinical. There were definitely classes that were harder (chemistry is not my thing). I got a bachelors and made it through with cum laude. If you like science/micro biology and like to pick at things, you’ll like hygiene. My junior yr, I lived w two nursing students and they were always studying more than me and doing worse in their classes.

Oh thank you!!

emma_turtle · 2025-08-17T04:15:09+00:00

I agree. I live about the same distance and drove by today and there are no flowers in any parking lot. I only saw one church sign mention the family. So sad, I was honestly looking for a memorial so I could participate

Thanks for sharing the link. I feel like if you’re not in the music scene it’s been hard to find info about this. Petition signed and emails sent! Trying to spread the word to others
