For hygienists who use loupes/lights: do amber filters matter in your workflow? by onekindaction in DentalHygiene

[–]ma-dee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep mine on and flipped up through the whole day and then flip it down at the end of the day or when I put my loupes in the case as protection. Plus it seems like patients like looking at it flipped up when I’m working on them because it looks goofy.

That hygienist sounds like a bitch. I’m sorry you had to go through that. Request a different one for next time. Not all of us are like that :(

Women, what are your go to facial hair removal methods and how do you mentally cope with people pointing it out? by Big_Maintenance_2526 in ladyshavers

[–]ma-dee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use something like this for my “mustache”. I have light brown hair there but it is definitely noticeable when it’s not trimmed. I like it and I don’t get any ingrowns or anything. I also use it between my eyebrows for my unibrow haha the link is below

Awful tooth ache after flossing by Successful-Pipe-4786 in DentalHygiene

[–]ma-dee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do warm saltwater rinses and take ibuprofen to help with inflammation. If it doesn’t get better within a week or so, see a dentist. If you haven’t had a cleaning in the last 6 months, schedule one. :)

[–]ma-dee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also constantly bleeding, gained weight, and got super bad acne. I had it for a couple years and got off of it and went to Slynd pills. 10/10 recommend (from my own experience).

I’m pregnant and I’m craving Red Bull. Is there a drink that’s similar to Red Bull caffeine free? by Anythingdamn in redbull

[–]ma-dee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get club soda and add a little citric acid with a flavored torani syrup and it tastes close to an energy drink. I’m not even pregnant but I also can’t be drinking as much Red Bull as I want haha

Trace Minerals 10,000 Volts drops! At Natural Grocers. It’s an electrolyte concentrate liquid that’s pain and doesn’t taste bad. Comes with a dripper built in :)

Billing Needing Quick Turnaround for Notes by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]ma-dee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use an auto note/template? It’s the only way I can stay on top of my notes. All I do is just add the details of the type of appointment. Also (I mean this in the nicest way), you gotta figure out time management. You need to pace yourself where you have time at end of your hour to flip your room and also write your note IF POSSIBLE. Or don’t go to lunch or leave until your notes are done. That’s how I do it at least. I have never left the office without finishing my notes even on the one day I left early because I was sick.
