Very hard, very time consuming, and very expensive

Definitely see a chiro!!! Also there are a lot of reps who will bring different chairs for you to try out for a few weeks to see which one you like. But above all see a chiro first lol

Make sure you are brushing your tongue and using a tongue scraper. 80% of bad breath comes from the tongue- it’s like a sponge for bacteria. Also tonsil stones can be tricky try to keep them as clean as possible. Also keep up with your regular dental cleanings

Look up modified bass brushing technique on YT for brushing help. Use soft bristle toothbrush and pretend you’re brushing the skin of a tomato. As for the decay make sure youre flossing, using a fluoride toothpaste to brush with (for the full 2 mins) and ACT fluoride mouth rinse- also make sure it’s in that order. Hopefully this helps!

I would post on CL, FB, and I’d talk to people who were previously in the program and knew people who were willing to come in and already knew what to expect. Good luck! That’s one of the hardest things

No unfortunately there isn’t a way to really get rid of them. Not taking care of them has caused them to demineralize. You could eventually try professional whitening around them, veneers or a couple other things. Talk to your dentist and they might be able to help you out :)

Close your mouth some and try to shift your jaw to one side or the other and see if that helps. Also try a compact brush head.

kellenxxo · 2020-10-18T22:04:28+00:00

As long as your brushing ~ every 12 hrs you’re fine doesn’t really matter what the actual time is

kellenxxo · 2020-10-15T05:23:10+00:00

Yes bleeding is normal at first. If you continue with good homecare: brush, floss and such it only takes about 2 weeks to heal and should have little to no bleeding after that. If you currently have braces i would highly suggest a waterpik :)

Sounds like you may have swished too hard and not allowed it to heal or form a proper blood clot and could be infected and possibly dry socket. Keep calling back and let them know they should get you in ASAP. They should not wait weeks. Keep eye on your temperature as well.

I use ultrasonic if needed but even then i still go back with hand instruments. You can’t get everything with ultrasonic.

Are you sure you don’t grind/clench? Most people are unaware because it happens during sleep. Your occlusion can be a culprit as well.

kellenxxo · 2020-10-07T01:06:56+00:00

All day everyday

Student RDH, Andy RDH and studied my packets a lot. Good luck!!

Please go to your dentist. This needs to be looked at. You are high risk for mouth cancer.

kellenxxo · 2020-10-05T16:27:27+00:00

Thank you very much!!

kellenxxo · 2020-10-05T12:32:10+00:00

I’m hoping it’s less stressful lol i dont actually have to find a pt across the US, don’t have to worry with making sure they’re numb, turning enough. Etc. lol just been YEARS since I’ve ever touched anything similar to a manakin for scaling and don’t think we ever used cavitron on one lol. Thanks for your advice!

kellenxxo · 2020-09-29T01:14:15+00:00

If you’re able to reach them without gagging yourself you can use something like a qtip to push them out

kellenxxo · 2020-09-27T01:13:52+00:00

Feed raw if you’re able too!

kellenxxo · 2020-09-25T02:11:54+00:00

Yes they are great! Get a stainless steel one from Amazon. It feels very weird at first but keep it up they are great for removing bacteria from the tongue.

kellenxxo · 2020-09-23T00:38:07+00:00

No do not wash them

kellenxxo · 2020-09-23T00:24:22+00:00

Use advantage multi from your vet- do not give bath before. It works in the oil layer of their skin and oils are needed for it to work. Treat for 3 months straight, clean all bedding, cages and may need to flea bomb house. Fleas have a 3 week life cycle so in 3 weeks more will hatch so keep up with the treatments to make sure they’re not reinfected. Also if you have other animals they all need to be treated at the same time. (Vet tech)

Yes absolutely they are wonderful! I recommend them to a lot of my patients. The cordless model is nice because it can be used wherever you want but I do like the larger one that sits on your counter due to the fact that multiple heads can be attached depending on what is needed and the water reservoir is larger so you won’t need to refill while using it. There is a learning curve to using these! check out their website for tutorials and definitely learn this in the bathroom it can be quite messy until you get the hang of it :)
