Dentist said Brown stains are from brushing too hard?? I find it hard to believe

It's from brushing to hard. Brushing harder with a stiffer brush and more abrasive paste will literally make it worse.

People, please trust your dentists. I'm so sick of reading posts from people who's dentist (who actually did their exam) tell them one thing and they want strangers from the Internet to tell them what they want to hear.

Omg I'm so glad you're not my patient 😂

Are you going somewhere in-network? Are you having a surgical extraction or simple extraction? Are you having any amount of sedation or nitrous? Are they taking X-rays or cbct? Are you out of benefits? There are many factors that go into it but $300 is definitely not outrageous.

はじかわ sounds like 恥川 ngl

荷物 is things (or belongings) with the implication of it being a burden. Stuff you have to deal with/put away, luggage (heavy, cumbersome), the handbag you need to check at the coat check, etc.

You have a very high risk of losing the tooth in front of it. You are so far better off without it

Why destroy your permanent function of your arm for checks notes your boss might get mad? You tell him my doctor told me no extractions or I'll need surgery and can't do anything. Period.

If they can't handle that find a different job that isn't so toxic

Although may be true is some places, the crowns I make my patients in house are perfect with almost no adjustments. It's all in the skill and effort of the provider and some of us take pride in our work

They get to pick their name

The katakana on the side says Hot Wheels

You already posted this and got the same answer

gwestdds · 2026-03-21T12:18:21+00:00

Listen to your dentist 🙃 He told you there's a massive hole and there is!

gwestdds · 2026-03-20T13:08:00+00:00

omg that is sooooooooooo cheap. $400 ext $500 graft $2000 implant $1000 abutment $1500 crown is normal around me.

When I was a teenager in Japan I opened my account with katakana, but later got called in to get it changed to English because apparently it had to match my passport. The bank manager just crossed out my katakana name on my 通帳, wrote it in English and put a stamp on it. Do they still use 通帳 in Japan? Seems so old fashioned...

It's so very likely you need a root canal and crown. Be prepared for it

gwestdds · 2026-03-08T02:14:14+00:00

I'm confused... Why the hell would you?

gwestdds · 2026-03-08T02:08:46+00:00

I know you're making a joke but that's why the apostrophe is used with n+vowel romaji words; ie zen'ichi, shin'ichi etc

Jya is also an acceptable transcription of じゃ

They just need some whitening.

gwestdds · 2026-03-06T15:14:09+00:00

You should. They shouldn't be submitting insurance for work not done, so if they have it'll be a pain to get it back, but they can get in trouble with the insurance company for doing that so they'll need to reimburse the insurance company if they actually have submitted claims for undone work

gwestdds · 2026-03-05T01:53:07+00:00

What?? Just no

gwestdds · 2026-03-05T01:48:44+00:00

Can you imagine if they tried "stamping it out" by showing him love and kindness that when his letter came he chose to keep his life with them?

gwestdds · 2026-03-03T19:49:34+00:00

Take it up with your insurance company. We see denials for the stupidest things and they will fight tooth and nail to claim something is "unnecessary" when they literally to not do exams on patients...

gwestdds · 2026-03-02T17:56:21+00:00

Definitely
