So here's a dental story for you guys today.
Had a new patient yesterday, 9 years old, fell over the handlebars of his bike and smashed his mouth. Luckily he just chipped some teeth and maybe cracked one, but it looks like it will be ok. But unlucky for him, those same teeth went thru his upper lip. Like all the way thru. ER doc said "go to the dentist and let him fix it". So I spent yesterday morning sowing up a lip of a 9 year old who was already freaked the **** out. Fun. Lots of screams |

Since when is sewing up a lip dental surgery?
Sounds like the ER doc was an ass. |

It's no problem in terms of me doing it. It's not preferable and I went ahead and referred him on to a plastic surgeon just in case he needs something later but it was pretty small so I don't think it will be a problem. Kid was pretty freaked out though. My assistant enjoyed it more than I did. |

It's very rare that I have to or want to do anything like that. The patient is a kid of a good family of patients in the practice so I helped them out a bit.
I'm more of a drill and fill kind of guy. I don't like the crazy shit. |

Probably. Given where you live, he probably was dealing with an amputation by manure spreader and two meth overdoses.

gum therapy toothpaste is good stuff IMHO
Considered a Water Pic with a solution of hydrogen peroxide or other stuff like TheraSol irrigate? Well doc, opinion? |

I'm sure soft drinks are bad for your teeth, but to compare it to meth is stupid. |

Had a great one today. Patient called to cancel her appointment for a cleaning today, stating that her cat attacked her while she slept and now she will be unable to lay her head down due to the damage to the back of her head. LOL. I want to see some cat cam footage of this event.
