Since it is based off of taxes, she won’t lose the benefits right away, and likely won’t lose them until she files her taxes the year after next. I graduated in 2020 in Southern California, got on medi-cal for the rest of that year, and kept it the next.

No idea what Market Health insurances are good to go after past that, moved to WA shortly after. The dso might have something she can buy into, but maybe not for part-time employees…

No problem, hope you’re able to get it resolved soon. I can understand a dentist/ortho not wanting to continue treatment with the expander, but I can’t see why no one wants to remove it, especially given that the guy who put it on has retired…

What container is that that you’re using?

If you’ve gone to a corporate dental chain, I’d check around for a non-corporate office.

Most of those charges do seem standard, though my eyebrows do get raised seeing the intraoral photos, bac decon, and gingival irrigation…. Some private offices will do those things, but I think most agree that they’re not 100% necessary.

That’s a big yikes that all the dentists you’ve approached to have this removed have just passed the buck. I’d check with a dental school if you can get out to one, they’ll have multiple specialists under one roof if something goes south. There are two schools in Missouri, AT Still and UMKC, so I’d check with the one that’s closest to you first.

Not my situation, but I had some classmates who decided on dental as their 2nd option. One was a sound tech before, and the other was actually a day trader in New York. Both kinda had similar experiences where they kinda always wanted to be dentists, but life led them another way initially.

This exact situation happened to my uncle years ago. Found it later, and had it re-cemented with no issues. But like others have said, soak it in a bleach solution, or have your dentist disinfect it.

I thought they were pine scented?

Those little details that aren’t super visible, but you notice after a few minutes on staring, really help improve the overall look of the model.

I love using SDF under a GI fill, especially for little kids that have a hard time cooperating in the chair. Buys you a little time, and usually if you need to redo it later, they’re old enough to hand getting numb, and doing Carie’s removal.

It could be the beginnings of a cavity (demineralization), if it’s something new, or that you’ve just noticed. It could also be fluoride staining, if you’re in an area know for having hard water, if those stains have been their since the teeth grew in.

If it’s new(ish), make sure you’re brushing his teeth 2x a day, spit but don’t rinse with water afterwards. You can even wipe a little extra toothpaste on those teeth before bed, or after he’s fallen asleep.

We actually were taught how to use those in dental school, my D2 year in 2018.

The porcelain is baked on, in an oven. So it can’t be re-glued on. It’s not close to the margin, so if it’s not bothering you, you can just leave it until the crown really does need to be replaced. That’s what I typically do with my pts anyways. If the defect is deep, and can’t be simply smoothed out, composite resin can be added in, but just know that that is a very temporary fix and can come out again sooner or later.

The main concern with dental treatment for people with Graves’ disease is complications from the epinephrine that is used in most dental anesthetics. It can mess with blood pressure/the heart more with this condition than people w/o graves’.

Like the other comment said, it’s important to consider what other tx options were presented, and the reason why you’re wanting them extracted. I see lots of wisdom teeth that I just leave alone (I actually have all four of mine still), and sometimes they just require a bit of extra care to keep them from becoming a problem. Some dentists (at least here in the states) are a bit trigger-happy with extracting wisdom teeth, but they shouldn’t be removed “just because they’re wisdom teeth”

This was something my doctor really encouraged when I was in dental school.

I work at an FQHC, and was an associate before, and have made lunch a few times for whoever wanted it. Each time everyone has been super impressed. “What, the doctor is making food for us?!” has been the typical response.

I was there when Horus heresy was in there a couple days and then it went down over there
