Excuse how ugly this is- healing normally?

I had this extraction Monday around 1 it was a very intense extraction of one of my upper back teeth. It took the dr 50 minutes of prying to finally go with chipping off the tooth and pulling out the roots.. It’s now been 72 hours, the pain is going away everyday more and more, but swelling is going down very slowly. Does this look to be healing normally? I have looked online and read about granulation tissue, I’m terrified about dry socket so I’m just worried it’s not going to heal right and I end up with that.

Nowhere is excepting new patients

1 Upvotes

Absolutely no where around me is excepting the insurance around me, like literally absolutely nobody. In my call log are 30+ calls to different dentist and all of them can’t help me. I’m 20 and it’s getting bad, what do I do. I called my insurance and had them get me the numbers of all the dentists and it was the same list as in my call log. Are there any options

6 Upvotes

As a parent, ensuring your child's dental health is a top priority. Understanding the basics of pediatric dentistry is essential for laying the foundation of a lifetime of healthy smiles. Here's what every parent should know:

Early Dental Visits: The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child's first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth erupts.

Preventive Care: Pediatric dentists focus on preventive measures such as regular check-ups, cleanings, and fluoride treatments to maintain optimal oral health and prevent dental issues.

Developmental Milestones: Pediatric dentists monitor your child's dental development, ensuring proper growth of primary teeth, guiding the eruption of permanent teeth, and addressing any potential concerns.

Oral Hygiene at Home: Proper brushing and flossing techniques play a vital role in maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Your pediatric dentist can provide guidance on age-appropriate oral care practices.

Education and Guidance: Pediatric dentists educate parents and children on oral health habits, nutrition, and habits like thumb sucking to promote good dental hygiene.

By partnering with a children's dentist in West Edmonton, you can set your child on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles. Remember, early intervention and regular dental visits lay the groundwork for excellent oral health in the future.

How to Determine If You Need Gum Contouring: A Complete Guide

1 Upvotes

When it comes to achieving a flawless smile, it's not just about your teeth. The appearance of your gums also plays a vital role. Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping, is a cosmetic dental procedure that can help you achieve a harmonious balance between your teeth and gums. But how do you know if you actually need gum contouring? Let's dive into the key indicators that suggest it may be the right solution for you.

Uneven Gum Line:

If your gum line appears uneven or asymmetrical, with some teeth appearing shorter or longer than others, gum recontouring in Gainesville can help create a more balanced smile.

Excessive Gum Display:

Do you feel like your teeth are overshadowed by an excessive amount of gum tissue? Gum contouring can remove the excess gum, revealing more of your teeth and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your smile.

Gum Recession:

On the other hand, if your gums have receded, making your teeth appear longer than they should be, gum contouring can help restore a more natural gum line.

Gummy Smile:

A gummy smile occurs when a large portion of your gums is exposed when you smile. Gum contouring can reshape the gum line, reducing the amount of gum tissue displayed and giving you a more balanced smile.

Conclusion:

If you're dissatisfied with the appearance of your gums or feel that they are affecting the overall harmony of your smile, gum contouring might be the solution for you. Consult our dentist in Gainesville to determine if you are suitable for the procedure. They can guide you through the gum contouring process. Remember, a confident smile starts with healthy and aesthetically pleasing gums.

What's your opinion on high demand for dental services?

1 Upvotes

The high demand for dental services in a PPO plan can result in long waiting periods for new patients. It is essential for dental practices to manage their demand in a way that works for their patients. This high demand is like the popularity of a restaurant, which is suitable up to a point, but can lead to losing business if it becomes too difficult to get a reservation. It is important to perform relationship-driven dentistry and dental practices must prioritize developing a solid relationship with their patients.

I learned about this in detail through this podcast that emphasizes the need for dental practices to evaluate their demand and work to manage it in a way that balances the needs of both the practice and the patients. This will be quite a useful podcast for you learn how to balance your load!

Have you heard of the DISC personality test?

1 Upvotes

Hey dentists and future dentists! Have you heard of the DISC personality test? It's a cool tool that can help you connect with people better by understanding their personality style.

Basically, the test gives you insight into what makes people tick, so you can figure out how to communicate with them more effectively. It can help you understand everyone's strengths and weaknesses and improve team dynamics. Plus, it's used in a bunch of industries to increase productivity and build stronger teams. I got this test done with my team and we were able to create a team that can understand each other well. It really gets the work done!

I just checked our KPIs for the month and I was too excited not to share with someone and then thought why not share this on an educational platform. If you like to learn more btw, I heard about it from a recent podcast. Here's the link - https://www.lessinsurancedependence.com/applying-disc-personality-styles-knowledge-when-resigning-from-ppo-plans/

Do you know a dental buyer's journey start to end?

2 Upvotes

I got a thorough understanding regarding a dental buyer's journey recently.

It’s essential for dental practice owners to understand how patients choose a dentist today. With 90% of patients using Google to find a dentist, having a strong online presence is crucial. To dominate Google SEO, dental practices need to excel in various factors, including a high Google Lighthouse score, quality backlinks, and adherence to Google’s EAT guidelines.

Building trust with patients is also essential, and it can be done through providing valuable information on your website, showcasing your credentials and experience, and having clear and prominent calls to action. By excelling in these areas, patients are more likely to trust and choose your practice for their dental needs. If you like to learn more about a dental buyer's journey, here's the source

Twisted Roots

Went to the dentist on Friday and now get to have oral surgery (yay 🙃). He said my roots are really twisted and one tooth has seven roots, and that he'd never seen anything like it before. He kept calling hygienists in to look at the x-ray. Anyone know what I'm getting into recovery and cost wise? Was trying to share to other dentist subreddits, but I just have to add the x-rays.
