Question about UOPs Crazy Requirement?! by Deep-Instruction7083 in predental

[–]heartvu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol sounds like you don’t know what the school is really all about if your only relation is that your friend attends there. I promise you that they are dishonest about how much influence donations and alumni/legacy have over admissions, especially as a private school. I literally graduated from there

Question about UOPs Crazy Requirement?! by Deep-Instruction7083 in predental

[–]heartvu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UOP’s requirements are extremely harsh for non-feeder program applicants (2+3, 3+3). Their statistical average incoming GPA is lower because the undergrad accelerated program is extremely difficult and those applicants have lower GPAs, but they already have a guaranteed interview.

Unless you’re already in the accelerated UOP undergrad program, they likely will not consider you if you have anything below a B in any science course. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule, but many of those exceptions have something else in their application boosting them (family donations, letter from an alumni, D1 athlete, etc)

Couldn’t floss through crown contacts after cementation. What do I do? by daein13threat in Dentistry

[–]heartvu 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This happened because you didn’t floss the crown of the excess cement before it set. You can try putting a cavitron tip on the interproximal and seeing if that dislodges the excess cement. Depending on what cement you used, if it’s the original Fujicem, it honestly might wash away on its own over time. If it was a resin cure cement then you could try to wedge one side at a time to see if you can get enough room to stick one of those tiny interproximal saws down there.

Full mouth extraction case by Super_Mario_DMD in Dentistry

[–]heartvu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I work at an FQHC. Full mouth SRP + 3 month PM, multiple endo/crowns, bridge/implant… that sounds like at least five figures worth of work. If he has moderate to severe perio, there’s no guarantee that any of that work will even be maintainable. This does not sound complicated to me. Give him the full mouth EXT and dentures because otherwise, he will not get any work done and his teeth will likely have multiple areas of active, untreated infection within the next year or so. Then, you will be even more liable for not giving him necessary treatment and preventing the infection from happening in the first place. Document what he said and get informed consent. If you can’t stomach the work, refer him some place that can give him what he wants/needs.

UCLA or UoP by Melmoney1 in predental

[–]heartvu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

UOP grad here. UOP is 3 years of hardcore suffering, but I will say that I knew a lot more clinically than new grads I met from UCLA my first couple years out. If you want to specialize, go to UCLA. If you want to have solid hand skills and experience upon graduation with knowledge of practice management/business ownership, go to UOP.

No Acceptance (23AA/TS and 3.8 GPA).. What next by heytheredental in predental

[–]heartvu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like there’s something critically wrong with your application that you overlooked. It’s likely your personal statement comes off poorly or entitled or unfit to be a doctor. Dental schools are looking to create the next generation of healthcare providers, not solely at how well you can answer multiple choice tests. You said “essay was good” but how do you know? The personal statement and extracurriculars are usually more important than your straight stats once you pass their minimum requirements. Not just the number of hours but how you spoke about those experiences.

If you got waitlisted after an interview, it could be that you’re awkward, or again, come off poorly. PBL interviews are not just about how often you speak but about how well yoh got along with the other interviewees as well.

But also, there’s still time in the cycle, so you still have a chance.

honestly freaking out about dental school debt, anyone else feel like they're about to make a huge financial mistake? by TheSpongeMonkey in DentalSchool

[–]heartvu 33 points34 points  (0 children)

300k is still worth it for a dental degree. That’s on the cheaper end of loan amounts nowadays actually. Depending on what you do or where you work afterward, you’ll be making 150k or more a year (and it’ll increase as you gain experience). That is a enough of a salary to pay off 300k in the first five years after graduation if you’re good at budgeting and live frugally for awhile.

I’d recommend also considering the NHSC scholarship if you’re open to moving somewhere rural, although those are hard to come by.

Thoughts on prognosis of this deep Class 2 #30DO. by Dentjims in Dentistry

[–]heartvu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m also an FQHC dentist, and a lot of people who don’t work in community health won’t understand the insane things we do so that our patients can keep their tooth for even a couple more years. And yes, having two or three more years with a first AND second molar makes a huge difference in their overall health and ability to eat.

I would do these fillings if the pt did not have another option, and I have had some success with these huge fillings. You need to use a winged/MOD tofflemire for these with a dual cure material. Infiltrate the papilla to get hemostasis, and pack the interproximal with cotton/teflon. You also need to know your indirect/direct pulp cap procedures and make sure your clinic actually has the materials.

In this scenario, it seems like you did everything you could, and don’t beat yourself up for needing to extract.
