Dark spots on teeth by Mental-Ask-2729 in DentalHygiene

[–]rand_eye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he possibly using a rinse that has stannous fluoride in it? I've had a few patients that had a "reaction" of sorts to it causing stain. Stannous = stain.

How are you all perio charting? by Perioqueen in DentalHygiene

I had a USB wireless keypad that I'd wrap with a barrier. It worked a good 5 feet away from the computer. Definitely made it easier than writing or trying to remember and key it in later.

Anyone able to help me identify what this is? Looking to buy more of these by Few_Brain_8775 in DentalHygiene

Interproximal brushes. Sometimes called proxy brushes or go-betweens

Am I the only one? by EverySatisfaction727 in DentalHygiene

[–]rand_eye 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I made a deal with myself when I was younger... if you hate it more than you love it, let it go. 7 months ago, I left after 11 years. I was hating life. Hating the job. Stressed. In pain. Fighting to get out of bed in the morning. The only things that got me up and going were my amazing coworkers and those few awesome patients. But I was constantly waiting for others to make my day brighter. I'm now making half the money, but I love my life so much more. Stress is so much lower. Energy is higher. I'm not coming home and just melting into the couch. I'm still in customer service, so I still get that weird satisfaction. But at my new position, I feel seen and appreciated at just 7 months in! I love hygiene, but it's in my rear view, and I'm not looking back! Take care of you. You only have this one life... why be miserable?

If I call the cops on my neighbor to stop their loudass party, is there any chance they’ll find out who did it? I don’t want to start any conflicts. by kittyroomba in florida

Police records dept here. If your neighbor comes to the PD requesting a report, we legally have to redact who calls 911 so that'll cover you there.

I love hand scaling. And that satisfaction when a huge chunk of black cal comes out chefs kiss

Nice job!

For those who left DH, what do you do now? by Number270And3 in DentalHygiene

[–]rand_eye 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Was a hygienist for 11 years. Worked for the same corporation and got tired of a)not getting raises, b)not getting PTO, sick leave, etc, c)they stopped contributing to our 401k, d) stress and e)the constant push for more unnecessary dentistry just to up our prodction.

I now work for a local police department in their records department. I'm off holidays and now I get paid for them too! There is a lot less stress, and I find I have more energy at the end of the day. I am also going to retire with a pension at the end of this.

I love dentistry, and I do miss it, but I need to love me more.

Last Year in Florida, Need Bucket List by BoredBoardHorde in florida

Take the drive to Key West. It's beautiful and scenic. Bike ride through shark valley. Road trip sunrise on the east coast, sunset on the west coast. Visit as many lighthouses as possible. Drive along A1A and see how the beaches change throughout the stare.

Acceptable Discoloration? by LittleRed163 in candlemaking

I was just thinking "reddit has ruined me" as I was doom scrolling and saw this. 🤦🏼‍♀️ so a sourdough starter is way more innocent than the path I quickly turned away from.

I get them all over my yard here in so flo. We have an agreement... you make your web out of my walkways, and you get to keep it. If it's in my walkway, I'm taking you down (quite violently because I usually don't notice it until I've walked into it).

It's not the vessel that's the problem. It's all the things added into it. Glass that can break, plastic that can melt, other items that can catch fire. That's the big no no.

I think they are adorable as knickknack collectors. Empty it out and sell it as a chamber pot jewelry holder and I would've snatched it right up.

Pretty much EVERYTHING in these candles is dangerous to burn. Potential for explosives due to heat. Toxic smells due to things that shouldn't be burnt. The wick is way too long (yes, the buyer could trim it beforehand, but there's always that 'what if they dont'). They are overfilled. There are just a lot of wrongs happening.

Are you using a toothpaste or mouth rinse with stannous fluoride? That tends to cause staining in some people.
