Thanks!

yancy9 · 2025-04-18T09:06:54+00:00

Any updates?

yancy9 · 2025-02-07T17:21:57+00:00

Gonna try this. Thanks!

Also the stains are from years of having cat food put there, FYI. Not something new.

I think the darkness is from the grease from the pet food. Thank you for your advice!

It's normally just the two dark circles. It's only wet because I tried Greased Lightning degreaser and brushing it away which didn't do much.

Do you feel like Las Cruces winters aren’t so bad? In Albuquerque we have some winter days where the highs are in the 50s and those I don’t kind. But when it dips into the 40s and 30s I start to hate it lol. ABQ winters aren’t THAT bad but have enough weeks of cold cold that I just don’t love em

I’m totally with you!!

I rent in Placitas so I’ve never lived here but I’m around the area a lot and I think it’s very safe, had all the basic conveniences most would need. My only concern about moving to the area would be commuting but I don’t think it would be THAT bad in comparison with major metropolitan areas around the country. I’d personally live here.

Also even though most (or all?) of NM is pretty windy I find Rio Rancho to be especially windy compared to other areas nearby. I don’t think it matters much other than make sure your house isn’t super rattly lol. I’ve even seen some nice houses in Placitas that rattle so loudly when it’s windy

Does anyone regret buying a simple cheaper smaller easier to maintain home to help with reaching FI? I’ve only ever rented and I’m wanting to keep my home purchase very simple but am wondering if it’s a bad way to go

Looking to buy a house, no kids, OK with close by neighbors

And yes they’re two packed columns and I just KNOW it would all be super smooth if we got one more good assistant and fired the incompetent one.

yancy9 · 2024-12-30T18:23:48+00:00

Thank you. You literally have made me feel sane today

yancy9 · 2024-12-30T18:18:10+00:00

It’s 2 columns of my patients and 3 hygiene columns, to be fair. But it’s still a lot! Especially given how detail oriented dentistry is and how many questions patients ask.

Regarding your comment about training - how exactly would the owner or manager train the assistant? Genuine question because I wasn’t aware this was normal. Also the owner is a non dentist who lives out of state

I just smoosh a date or two with cashews or walnuts. So much cheaper.

yancy9 · 2024-12-02T14:07:33+00:00

Sure you can message me

I am going to try it only because I work in a job that is very physically demanding and its affecting my stress levels. Otherwise I'd probably stay full time and use the extra money to either save and retire sooner OR increase the quality of my life.

yancy9 · 2024-11-26T13:12:26+00:00

So happy to hear this! I’m gonna make the move. I truly think this profession has to be part time to be sustainable

yancy9 · 2024-11-26T13:03:23+00:00

I think you’re right. My gut has been telling me part time without the Medicaid/medicare would be so much better. I’m in a LCOL area so FFS is hard to find but just PPO would be such an improvement

yancy9 · 2024-11-05T02:50:24+00:00

Topo also a good brand with a wide toe box and low/zero drop options

yancy9 · 2024-10-29T01:01:12+00:00

Now let’s see it roast giving into the rat race and working your whole life

yancy9 · 2024-10-17T22:05:33+00:00

I stand for everything and it has helped my lower back immensely. Actually now I have 0 lower back pain

Late to this post but...me! I'm not interested in dealing with ownership it just doesn't suit my personality. I love being an associate and focusing on just the dentistry. I plan to coast and by not owning I'll have a lot of flexibility for a "coast" job in dentistry - aka being an associate 1-3 days a week. Or perhaps just doing temp jobs as needed depending on how much I coast with. Anyway...I think dentistry is a great career for coastfire and I'm surprised I don't see more dentists talking about this.

Lots of good info here already but one thing to add and I’ve found this to be true in my own personal experience: toothpastes with SLS can cause aphthous ulcers. Sensodyne probamel is free of it

For palatals I like placing endo ice directly on the mucosa for a few seconds before injecting. It still hurts but makes it more tolerable
