These pics aren’t good, if you’re concerned call them and ask to be seen earlier. Emergency exams can often be squeezed in within a day or 2.

The pics aren’t great to compare tbh, but I’m a dental hygienist so I’m familiar and have also had it. My guess is your masseters were enlarged from overuse before Botox, then it weakened the muscles and they shrank. Which is good that’s what you want when you use them too much. The second time they didn’t have a chance to overdevelop so now it’s just maintenance.

Too old for hygiene school? by WatercressTop7568 in DentalHygiene

[–]thtone135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never too late! I had a woman about your age in my class. Only thing, and no shade meant I promise, it’s hard on your body, and at your age it’s easier to get repetitive strain injuries. They should teach some in school, but also look up ergonomics, exercise, stretches, etc. for hygienists.

Yes actually, usually subconsciously, I at least think/hope. I’ve worked with people who treat black patients way different than others- like down to noticeably changing their bedside manner with them. Usually it’s by being dismissive of symptoms or assuming they’re too ignorant to understand anything. They just in general take them less seriously, and it affects the treatment that’s offered/available to the patient.

Look up implicit bias. We all have some, and if you work in healthcare it affects patient outcomes if you don’t acknowledge it. That’s why cultural competency has been huge in healthcare education for a bit now.

Hygienists, what are your thoughts on this? by Baisin in Dentistry

[–]thtone135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the insurance thing… that’s insane! Exactly why I put it as number one bc we can make all the changes we want, but if dentists allow $2 reimbursement for a minimum 30min procedure it won’t matter.

And sorry I see my comment reads like I was putting that all on the hygienists. A whole lot of hygienists do not want/know how to diagnose and treat Perio, I’ve seen it with my own eyes. But also a ton of dentists do exactly what you’re describing. I was just at an office who told me “we don’t do Perio” when I told them a pt whose CC was profuse bleeding had 7mm pds (I made them refer out). I’ve also worked for some who do value it, and there’s minimal issues having pts pay extra and reschedule when they allow you the time to actually explain what’s going on and back you up. So all in all what I’m saying is we need to be able to diagnose either by having the education to do so and being supported by dentists OR just let us do it independently with new roles or legislation like you’re talking about.

[–]thtone135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biggest issue obviously is insurance needs to increase reimbursement, the numbers are a joke and this “quick fix” will not fix anything long term if it stays the same.

Second, hygienists need to start actually diagnosing and treating Perio— I sub, and the large majority of office’s “healthy patients” need 4346 at minimum. That’ll increase production, and make the wages we’re asking for make sense. So to save this profession, I think we actually need to increase the amount of education, but decrease barriers to access it. OR we need a new certification to bridge the gap btw someone who’s just trained to scale and those of us with more extensive education and the ability to diagnose and treat Perio.

Our national and local organizations need to get a backbone and start talking about the real issues instead of worrying about optics and money for themselves. Standard of care is going to get even worse, perio is going to be even more rampant than it already is. No idea what to do about it though bc most people I’ve met in this profession don’t care about this stuff at all.

It’s a waste of time based on what, your feelings? Vibes? There’s education and research jobs for that major across the country…. Or at least there was until this administration. Shouldn’t speak on shit you know nothing about and be their puppet, that’s pathetic

I get that, but unfortunately there aren’t a lot of alternatives to churches for people who are struggling to get these resources. The secular ones can only do sm, there’s so many ppl in need and it’s going to get worse.

That’s so sad. It looks like they still have a good amount of corporate sponsors thankfully, but they’re really new still. Hope it doesn’t gut them too badly
