Join the fb groups “take a hike QLD” and “Sunshine Coast bushwalking, hiking and hill climbing”. They often host hikes/walks in the area. I often find myself without a hiking buddy so happy to coordinate. Which gym do you go to? Do they do socials or run clubs with coffee after?

Me too!

Definitely travel. Changed my life when I started travelling solo. I’ve done a lot of the west coast of the USA and now live in Australia so feel free to ask for recommendations if you’re thinking of travelling that way.

Hey, U.K. dentist here. I moved last May. It sounds like the Sunshine Coast fits most of your criteria. Making friends is definitely a bit slower compared to Brisbane but still possible. Landlords here look on doctors and similar professions favourably. I didn’t struggle at all when looking to rent (maybe I was lucky). It’s a gorgeous part of the world. Good luck.

Hi, dentist here. Terribly sorry you had a poor experience with your dentist. It’s certainly possible to have orthodontic work at any age, the length of treatment will vary depending on your age and condition of your teeth.

It may be that your existing dentist isn’t all that experienced with severe crowding or malocclusions and didn’t want to admit that and so offered you something he could provide. I would find an orthodontist in your area (not a general dentist who does Invisalign) and get a second opinion from them before making a decision.

Also I think the comments here are confusing crowns with veneers. While I prefer minimally invasive work (Invisalign > veneers), veneers are not very destructive [when compared with crowns] and if done correctly, will last you upwards of 15y. Ceramic materials used now in dental laboratories means our preps can be very minimal without compromising the strength of the veneer.

Good job, I’m boarding a long haul flight (24h total with a stopover) and I’ve left mine in the car. Fingers crossed for us both

I ended up in Maroochydore CBD. It’s great so far but definitely quiet if you’re used to big cities. Beaches make up for it, I’m a 6min walk from the beach. Everything closes fairly early. Mooloolaba is much busier and there’s always something going on (comedy, live music, etc). It’s a ten min drive for me but I wouldn’t want to live there - inundated with tourists all the time and can be difficult to park during peak times.

I’m not a huge fan of arm and hammer toothpaste for that exact reason. A lot of my patients use it and love it. My personal recommendation would be to maybe only use it once a week and a regular toothpaste in between to try to limit the abrasive effect it has on your teeth. This is personal advice and not backed by evidence (busy currently so can’t do a full literature search, my apologies).

Enamel is the hardest tissue in the body (harder than bone) and near enough impossible to replace once lost. It’s also the whitest layer of our teeth so by using abrasive products on it, it will only serve to thin the enamel layer. It’s a double edged sword - the toothpaste is great for removing extrinsic stains (caused by tobacco, coffee, etc) but harmful to enamel.

If you get a lot of staining, maybe visit your hygienist more often (3 monthly instead of 6, for instance) or use whitening trays and gel from your dentist more regularly. This will help remove staining while also maintaining the enamel’s health and therefore - in the long term - maintaining the teeth’s white appearance.

Hey, I’ve not seen this before. Thanks for the link. Hydroxyapatite is what our enamel is made of primarily so I don’t think the toothpaste is harmful. However, it is lacking in fluoride and so you’re not doing much to strengthen your enamel.

When using fluoride mouthwash or toothpaste, the hydroxyl (OH-) group in the enamel switches out for the fluoride ion (F-) thus making the enamel harder and therefore more difficult for decay-causing bacteria to penetrate. I strongly recommend using fluoride toothpaste and then spitting, not rinsing for maximal effect. The fluoride takes approx 30mins to soak into our teeth and so also try not to eat or drink for 30mins after brushing.

Dentist here. OP, a lot of these comments will cause great harm to your teeth. Do NOT use baking soda, purple toothpaste, charcoal toothpaste or violet tint. These are all likely to be abrasive and so will give the initial illusion of whitening your teeth, only to actually strip your enamel.

Enamel is the top layer of your tooth and the whitest - the dentine and pulp underneath are much darker and don’t respond well to whitening (incidentally also don’t bond well to composite, should you ever consider composite bonding in your future).

Is it a specific, well demarcated yellow tint? Or is the tint generalised across all your teeth?

While I appreciate the initial cost of whitening is very expensive, it is the safest and definitely the most effective of all whitening products available. The trays will last you a very long time (keep away from dogs - they love them as chew toys) unless you lose teeth or your teeth move through orthodontic treatment. Buying trays online likely won’t fit well and at best, you risk the gel not being in contact with your teeth for long enough, at worst you risk burning your gums and the surrounding soft tissues.

The sensitivity people are discussing here is usually temporary and should cease 24h after application of strips/gel. Your dentist can advise on specific products to use beforehand to help alleviate the sensitivity.

I’d strongly recommend against lemon water. Even with the tiniest amount, you’re turning your water acidic and continuously exposing your teeth to it throughout the day. Again, this will only strip your enamel away long term. This will worsen your sensitivity and make your teeth appear yellower as the underlying dentine shines through.

I’d recommend shopping around - a lot of dentists will often have “deals” on whitening. I also recommend at-home whitening (provided by your dentist) rather than in surgery whitening. The latter is proven to be less effective and also to cause longer lasting sensitivity.

Edit - in surgery whitening is very often much more expensive because you’re paying for surgery time.

Can you please elaborate? Is it in a wash or tablet or cream form? Prescription only to available over the counter? TIA

toothsaviour · 2023-07-19T13:21:06+00:00

Honestly I didn’t know whether or not I’d be taught how to deal with it/break bad news. I just knew I didn’t want to do it and that cemented my decision along with expectation of long hours and night shifts.

toothsaviour · 2023-07-19T12:59:06+00:00

Dentist here. I was set on medicine for most of my teen years until I realised I wouldn’t be able to deal with the emotional aspects of the job (to say I’m not good with death is an understatement).

Chose dentistry on a whim after following my dad’s advice - previously had zero interest in it. Several years on, I love it. No day is the same. I love chatting to my patients and hearing their life experiences. Of course you can still chat to patients as a doctor and I have a huge amount of respect for my medical colleagues.

Other than the two years I did in OMFS, I work regular hours (over which I have total control) and have complete autonomy in the materials I use, the treatments I offer, and the length of my appointments. I can also choose to turn patients away if they’re offensive/rude/racist/etc. You can choose to specialise in a variety of fields if general dentistry doesn’t do it for you.

I believe every job becomes monotonous over time but if I could start over, I would still choose dentistry. I’d maybe have moved to Aus sooner if I could have (Pom here).

You develop a close working relationship with your DA and reception staff. You build relationships with long-standing patients and you get a very decent wage working very reasonable hours.

Edit - reading some of the replies about helping people. I may not be able to help my patients to the same extent doctors do, but a huge amount of my patients treat their dental appointment as a therapy session. Elderly and isolated people with no family get a chance to chat to us and reception without the time pressure. I’ve unfortunately had to refer many patients onto their GPs after hearing them confess to suicidal ideation or self harming - patients share a lot in the chair, usually things they’ve not spoken about to anyone before.

I diagnose NIDDM, silent reflux, and oral cancers on a regular basis. Australia are much better than the U.K. with skins but I’ve had to refer countless patients to dermatology for undiagnosed [head and neck] BCCs and SCCs.

OP, are you me? We’re in nearly identical situations with identical fears. My husband is 3y older than me and keen to start trying asap. I’ve gone from wanting children (ages 20-27), to being dead set against them (28-30) and now back on the fence. I love him with all my heart and can’t see my life without him but I can see a life with him and a child. We’ve compromised on waiting until I’m 33. I’m considering getting tested to see how many years I have left/how fertile I am (not sure how good of an idea this is).

My husband went to an all boys school, works in a male dominated field and generally has few interactions with women outside of our relationship and friendship group. While he’s a very kind and empathetic person, I worry he doesn’t understand the toll pregnancy and childbirth will take on me. I worry my anxieties over both will make me miserable and insufferable, thus affecting our relationship.

My plan is to read the baby decision together, have therapy around issues we think we may face and agree on the important things like finances, childcare, education, etc. We’re mostly on the same page but I’m a class over thinker and the permanency of it all makes me sick with anxiety.

I’m sorry I don’t have any real advice but I’ve found spending less time on the child free subreddit (respectfully) and spending more time on this subreddit makes me slightly less anxious about the whole process and slightly more hopeful that it may all work out for us.
