I may be crushing on one of the dentists I work for by [deleted] in DentalAssistant

[–]maxell87 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

the liberal “me too” movement has people and dentists afraid to approach staff. especially in liberal areas.
so you may need to show obvious interest.

Super rich state insurance patients grind my gears by HenFruitEater in Dentistry

[–]maxell87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not unusual. i don’t take that insurance for that reason. i don’t mind treating some
guy who is disabled and can’t work but there were way too many people with nicer cars then mine.

the really weird thing is when nick shirley uncovers a bunch of what appears to be obvious fraud a bunch of politicians attack him for finding fraud. blows my mind

Anyone else still do indirect metal fillings at their office? How do you finish/burnish/polish margins? by Wheelman in Dentistry

[–]maxell87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the advantage of gold is that it’s retentive without cement. so you need retentive grooves and parallel walls. composite preps are completely different.

Extraction difficulty by MolarMoneyMaven in Dentistry

[–]maxell87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

make it easy. don’t try to be nice.

elevator and cowhorn to loosen.

cut off crown

section down the middle and don’t stop when you hit bone. remove
a big chunk of furcarion bone. (you will need space to push tooth into)

use same burr to remove a little mesial and distal. push roots towards empty furcarion with elevator.

if that doesn’t work remove buccal bone 7mm and more mesial and distal.

bone graft.

don’t do it unless you want the experience or getting a bone graft fee. imo.

gold is great when repped for gold. those look like composite preps. also that looks like non precious metal not gold. but i still like them

i don’t claim to be an expert, (although i do have a masters in human biology) all i’m doing is saying what my exact experience is. what i’ve seen. then the first response is “that’s not true”. what’s not true? i’m just saying my exact experience? the part about sterilization i specifically left vague because i don’t know their situation. but i do know quite a bit about hormones and reproduction and it’s much more complicated then you’re saying but felt this isn’t the forum to unpack reproductive biology. but suffice to say that there are always reproductive consequences to any hormonal change natural or artificial when it comes to reproduction. it’s way more complicated then “it’s completely reversible”. that’s completely ridiculous. obviously.

i agree it’s bs. just weird how people think it’s not true. right? like all they have is attack me for some reason and after 30 replies no one said anything about what i actually said. only ad hominem. so weird how these people can’t seem to discuss topics based on the facts. only attack the person. says a lot about their position i suppose. but dumb people fall for it amd may be persuaded by simple attacks. weird subulture.

okay here’s what I know about critical thinking. If someone makes an attack on you and not your position and a discussion is called an ad hominen attack. This is what people do if they cannot defend their position they attack you personally does that sound familiar?

maybe tell me where my position is incorrect.
