I have adhd along with several other mental health issues I’m 24 and I haven’t gone to the dentist since I was 16 and I know I need a few root canal’s done and likely a fair few fillings. My experiences with dentists in the past doing, honestly really really shitty composite fillings on me and all of my older siblings having either gold or silver amalgam fillings, having mine fall out even with extensive care and cleaning done just because the dentist didn’t do it right, and watching them do and eat basically the same things I do- taking care of their teeth like I do and they’ve had amalgam fillings for 30+ years for the oldest. Absolutely no problems and I will be leaving the dentist without payment if they think they’re gonna go against my wishes and do another composite filling. I’m done with them. Give me the metal. So as a dentist you also need to understand that if the patient WANTS it, you need to listen

Why do I still feel like there’s a hole in my teeth after the composite?

Have you ever met a dental specialist who decided to switch to general dentistry?

I agree. 2.5 magnification is great for dental school. Take care of your eyes. I switch to a bigger magnification after graduating from dental school and now I have to wear glasses for reading. My eyes aged super fast thanks to the loupes. People who always have had glasses probably don't suffer as much as they are used to going to the eye doctor every year. But if you have a wonderful 20/20 and suddenly lose it, well.... it's a bummer.

you can mill gold

look to sky blue to also reset your eyes it is no different than coffee grains to reset you sense of smell

Any reviews on loupes with polarized light for viewing veins?

EVERYTHING is safe according to the FDA. lol. Vitamin D3 has been a registered rodenticide since the 1980s and yet they tell people that it's safe even though the manufacturer says that it causes liver and kidney damage with prolonged use.

Public health dentistry.

I worked in rural Oklahoma and my boss averaged 40k daily production with tons of FMR and implants

This video is the exact reason why opinions to be looked upto should come from practitioners more than 20 - 25 years of experience preferably while being on a specialist register Ability of the operator to do any any procedure would be among the last criterias to be instrumental in determination of guidelines for the indication of a procedure Mean life of composites around 6.7 yrs while that of amalgam 11.6 years. 5 yrs they may look the same(tho i rea lly doubt this when class 2 fillings are taken into consideration) Its more technically demanding to do a good Class 2 amalgam

Why is starting salary so low?

I am C1 and getting a three part bridge on one pre molar and two molars. He said if I’m whitening I should do it beforehand but that would mean I’d need to whiten forever . I wanted to get my natural of C1 and have the premolar B1 so if I decide to whiten later it would be ok. When I was looking at them they looked so similar!! Is it a big jump? You can see my premolar when I smile prominently. If B1 is not an option what is the next lighter option if the rest of my natural teeth are C1? I don’t want to have yellow teeth when I’m older but I don’t want a drastic difference between the premolar and my front teeth. I’m plagued with this decision. I was hoping I could get a lighter shade that would be a subtle difference from the rest and when looking at the color chart they all look similar so I’m confused

How C1 is #6 and behind B, A and D2, is perplexing to me! C1 is clearly on par with A1. I do Not understand this??

Thanks! I'm looking into these loupes for working with electronics. One observation: I think that what you call "field of view" is the "pupil apperture" or "pupil diameter". A lens with a bigger diamater doesn't require you to look at the center of the lens but you can actually let the glasses move around and you can see the image effortlessly.

Hey what would you say a general dentist takes home with one practice compared to orthodontist with a practice?

Cerec . I’ve had about 15 of them. Done here in Spain by a German dentist. He’s the only one around where I live who has the machine. I asked him why. He says .having the machine. thing. But knowing how to use it is another. He’s in his late 50s. He’s actually taught classes on using the machine at universities. I think it has something to do with experience more than just owning the machine.

You need to Create Inlays and onlays in ceramic materials to avoid all toxic composites that are not safe. You cement the constructions with Inert cement. You know which composite is safe. But I know eternal solutions only. Dental Technology should be there and help.

If you have even one , and leave it. Your stupid.

This should be considered a crime, we have been lied to thinking this was normal, what kind of a medical system is this that allows this only to have us going to doctors and wondering why we go through what we go through.

Thank you so much for sharing this video ❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

what do you think about a dentist who doesnt wear any loupes at all?

I’ve been an assistant for 30 years and one thing that I notice is, younger dentist have a hard time extracting teeth. I’ve worked with a few older dentist in my career and they were taught an awesome technique of elevating teeth, they never pick up a forceps! What they do is, they first use the pointed end of a Periosteal Elevator, they push on the tooth rounded en, pushing mesial to distallyand the purpose is to make it bleed as much as possible, have the gently close on a couple of 4x4 gauze. Then he would go check a pt in Hygiene, come back and use short Luxater elevator’s, and the teeth come out so smoothly! Like butter! The blood does the work for you, breaks the periodontal ligament, detaches itself from the bone every time! It’s amazing, utilize your time and go check hygiene patients, come back and they practically jump out of the mouth! Good luck!

Graduated middle of my class. Applied to 4 specialties and interviewed for 2. Miracles can happen!

Can you recommend an ergo loupe that is 3.5 I have. A slipped disk 😢

this is what you get from a doc. who wants to operate his practice as if it was McDonalds........put in the work sir, cerec is better for patients

Is B1 too bright for veneer?

what about using rubber dam isolation?

Like a ferrari? Is that relatable lol. Other than that good review

My dentist just milled a crown in the local departmental lab using only x-ray images and no impression was made. I am surprised by the simplicity, jet there is a large gap between the crown and the tooth beside it. I wonder whether he did the right thing.

It is NOT SAFE AT ALL. Saying its safe because it only raises the blood mercury content slightly is insanity when the mercury doesn't stay in the blood, it accumulates in the body. Thats like saying its safe to smoke a pack a day for the rest of your life because the toxins from smoking are only in your blood for a short while. Duh, they deposit in the organs over time! Mercury fillings should be ILLEGAL

I think this discussion is 3 years old ...3 year old argument.

Amalgam use is harmful for everyone and the environment. It is toxic and not safe.

what was that adjustment your rep told you to do when you thought ur ipd was off?

I wear prescription lenses..how can I wear loupes?

I'm a training medical student I had to wear loupes today for the first time for ear wax removal. I tried 3 different pair on and I just couldn't see what I needed to see. I normally wear glasses everyday can you recommend any loupes that I can wear with glasses? Thanks

Where is this dentist located?

But they still keep putting it in peoples teeth.

Great video!

-Dr. Andy Cutler wrote a book called "Amalgam Illness" back in the 1998 -FDA knew for decades that mercury poisoning from amalgams is an issue. Amalgams are still used in the USA today -Mercury can cause a mix of physical, mental, neurologic, digestive, immune/autoimmune, endocrine and other issues -Each amalgam filling is 50% mercury and it leaches mercury vapor every time you chew food, drink hot liquids or brush your teeth -DMSA only chelates extracellular mercury, it's mostly used for lead in Cutler's protocol (stay away from EDTA or IV chelation!!!) -Chelation takes YEARS, if anyone promises a quick detox or tries to sell you expensive supplements for mercury, RUN -All exposure to toxic metals MUST be eliminated before chelation!!! -Chelator's must be taken properly, based on their half life or you could get a LOT worse. LEARN before you attempt chelating!!! -DO NOT go to a regular dentist for amalgam removal!!! It will expose you to insane amount of mercury vapor and make you a lot worse -Find a SMART certified dentist in your area on IAOMT.org and make sure they are following all the safety precautions! -Sadly, there's not a single test in existence that can show you accurate levels of mercury in your body (including the blood test) 13 years of personal experience with mercury poisoning from amalgam fillings and counting...

I regret that I have teeth silver fillings for years now coz it’s not the same colour as my teeth and now I want to replace it leading me searching whether it can be replaced or not.. but what I found out is that it’s kinda dangerous as “it has 50%mercury”, said the video I’ve watched.. that bothered me.. but then why FDA allowed silver fillings in dentistry as it’s known that mercury is dangerous.. so I tried to give myself reassurance that maybe it’s a strategy to mass market the new dental fillings..still, be watchful for mercury poisoning..

how did u manage to clear ur dental exams..dont use amalgam??? on the way out...the dental councils of whole of europe only pay for amalgam in posterior???i think most pbbly they need need ur coaching 😅 .

Thanks for the video... which brand do you prefer? is there a comparative study out there ?

It's awesome that you had the vision to be a practice owner from the get-go. Your story about connecting with a practice broker through a family friend is like a dental school success tale!

As a lab owner this video makes sense. Ive seen the morphology and quality of a in chair system and i dont think its fair to sell a patient final crown that looks like a temp. Also emax isnt as strong as zirconia and more or same price to produce iv had issues with emax chipping and discolouration on rct teeth. Layered zirconia crowns is the way fir me and i have 100percent succes rate even with darkest of cores. I do still do an occassional pfm criwn. Looking to get a full cadcam system for both removable denture prosthtics as well as crown and bridge however turover and client base is a huge factor to consider.

Excellent discussion, thank you

Thank you for this helpful video!

How do you test for the levels of murcury in the body
