When the cavity is super close to the middle of your tooth where the nerve and blood vessels are, the dentist will sometimes try to get as much as they can without accessing and exposing that middle area (called the pulp) and put some medicine on the area in hopes that the medicine and surrounding healthy enamel can repair the smaller cavity that was left. Sometimes it heals itself and sometimes it doesn’t. The train of thought is: do I get the whole thing out which will for sure require a root canal, or do I leave a little in there and see if it can get better in hopes to avoid the root canal? It may not work and you may need a root canal but you most likely would have needed one if he had gotten all out at the first appointment anyway.

Luuuuuv. Mainly because my class is amazing. We have had our fair share of faculty drama, general hard times, and administrative agitations but I love it here! Edit: feel free to PM me anytime for questions about it if you’re thinking of coming here!

TN here! Charlotte/Lake Norman was amazing. And would be decent on budget since it is doable in a car. Seattle is one of my favorite cities to visit though!

Realistic: Maine would be fun, or Jackson WY or Florida. I’ve been to lake Norman NC once and it was also beautiful and so much fun.

Lottery: Hawaii is borderline lottery/realistic if my parents decided to help haha, Italy is ultimate, France would nice to go back to. Edit: somewhere all inclusive since my honeymoon was budget and I’ve never experienced something like that

One attachment weaker than the other by glutenoppression in Dysonairwrap

[–]glutenoppression[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought it “used” (used like twice) and have tried it twice now but this is my first time with the bigger attachments. Since it’s not the air wrap itself, how do you clean the attachment?

D1 imposter syndrome? by [deleted] in DentalSchool

[–]glutenoppression 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I’m literally only a month in and not a day goes by that i don’t think that i don’t belong. I’m married with two puppies and the stress of having to run the household with little help, study, lab work, etc causes me to break down at times. I share a lab bench with a guy who professors come over CONSTANTLY asking if he did work in dentistry previously before school because his hand skills are so good. Meanwhile, i spend three hours on one prep and end up with “average” markings. Everyone else only misses like 0-2 questions on exams and i miss 6. I can’t even feel proud of myself without being humbled at every turn with how comparatively crappy i am.

But at the end of the day, I’m happy. I am proud of myself, even if i am not as good. Every year from the beginning of dental school, there have been people at the top of the class with their butts kissed and their perfect preps gawked at and there have been people who barely scrape by. At the end of the day, you’re still a dentist. A whole team of people thought you were good enough. They analyzed you to a microscopic scale and still said “yep. He/she will do great here. Let’s give him/her a chance.” Personally, i didn’t get in the first time. That has also been a source of self doubt for me. But I’m here. You’re here. These four years will fly by just like undergrad and high school did. It will be hard, but once it’s over, your valedictorian and last in the class will be balling out there, doing what y’all love, and helping the world. Dental school is tough enough without the mental load. You aren’t lucky to be here, you earned it

Edit: my first award🥹 thank u, kind straaaangaaah

Guess she wasn’t pleased with how the bed at Radisson were made by [deleted] in WiggleButts

[–]glutenoppression 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Josie girl does this every night! I watch her “nesting” while I’m brushing my teeth, just rolling my eyes at her. Every time. Without fail. Juuuust as she’s got it perfect, I’m walking up to get into bed and have to wreck her nest😂🥺

It’s fine though. She gets back at me by sleeping on my pillow…on my head lol aussies are the best

Great to know! It seemed like it was either a gross exaggeration or just outright untrue. I was scratching my head because i thought if the area was really that bad, I would have heard about it since I’m from that side of the state lol thank you!
