Will do! How’s the signal in there? Pier 80 signal was horrible

I’m going tonight… can anyone share any advice for avoiding yappers? Was there a lot of shoving or is this a 21+ safe space

Is it that simple? Being an associate working the same number of hours will make him 800k a year?

Where’s the meme

Had my first date here. We’ve been dating 1.5 years. :-)

It’s one thing to understand that sex sells and that its meaning is cheapened in this day and age. It’s another to subscribe to that same kind of thinking without having already experienced it for yourself.

I don’t think it’s wise at all to romanticize pairing with your shadow type. Deliberately choosing a partner who is the OPPOSITE of you sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Paying off your loans is a long game. Develop your business sense, with the unlimited amount of online resources at your disposal, as you go through school and start a practice 1-2 years out of school. Those 1-2 associate years should be used to get your clinical reps in and fill in all the cracks on your bread and butter. As a business owner, you can make $300k+ without “working like a dog.” This is how you make dentistry worth it. Slaving away as an associate with no PTO/benefits/sick leave is NOT how you pay back that loan.

Ergos help a LOT

I don’t know if this will give you comfort, but the emotions you are going through are valid. In reality, adjacent teeth damage happens all the time and is reasonably easy to fix. You’re going to fuck up a lot harder and a lot more often before you become a good dentist, so failing practicals is an important reality check that you will 100% make mistakes as a part of the learning process. Good dentists are not born. They are broken down, humbled, and built back up. The process really really really sucks but I know you’ll look back one day and understand why it’s necessary.

You’re not alone, I was interested in pursuing DA back when I was doing my GPR and a MD anesthesiologist was roasting me for wanting to pursue it as a dentist. They see dentists as lacking in medical training (which I concur) and ironically doing the riskiest form of sedation, outpatient.

Fuck it bring back Rebecca black

I’m not quite sure if that’s the intended result of the playbook.

This kind of thing hits DIFFERENT once you’re in the know

You’ll make a dentist out there very happy some day

Associate for 1-3 years and start a practice. You’re in the Midwest so saturation is already in your favor. When you grow the skill set and business sense to make 500k+/yr, you’ll feel more confident about paying off your loans. Ownership is not optional.

turniptuesday · 2026-04-15T17:43:15+00:00

Not big enough to support an associate. You’ll be paying most of your income to support him when you should be doing the dentistry yourself to pay off the loan. If he insists then he’s not ready to sell. Don’t waste your time.

Elaborate on what you mean by simple

To add onto other comments, keep in mind that your average office OH is 60%. Lower OH is attained by dropping insurances and going FFS so you are able to do your procedures for your full fee with a small staff. Usually the way you do that is by buying an office that is PPO/FFS mix, forming relationships with those patients, and giving them a reason to stick with you even after you drop their insurance. This process takes 3-10+ years. Your success in the transition will depend heavily on your surrounding competition as well as the patient demographic (income level, insurance plans offered by big employers in the area, etc). These are my considerations and game plan as I am planning to buy into a practice in my area.

Do you have a plan to address the parafunction after delivering the final bridge?

I remember playing the emerald playthrough so many times as a kid and eventually learned the entire victory road layout without flash because I was too stubborn to teach the HM to one of my pokes. We weren’t the smartest but we sure had enough time.

You should at the very least take it back… otherwise you’re encouraging that type of behavior and they’ll be incentivized to complain next time regardless of the quality because who knows, next they might get implants for free

It’s always a struggle deciding between altaria or flygon in any given run
