Dental experiences with O.City

Patient called last week, said he needed an appointment he'd broken a tooth off, wasn't hurting. Told him we couldn't get him in til today. No worries he said, I'll be fine till then.

Shows up today, happy, no issues, says it's a small chip should be an easy fix. One look in there and this upper premolar has fractured the whole outer cusp off and there is an exposed pulp. I run the explorer around it, touch the nerve and he says he felt that a bit.

Holy hell, dude is tough as shit. That should have been excruciatingly painful.

Numbed him up, took some endo files and started a root canal. Took the nerve out, irrigated it with Sodium Hypochlorite (look that up and get back to me if you want a laugh). Closed it up, will finish it next week, didn't have time today but he'll be out of pain and good to go.

Common household bleach (NaOCl).

Always say sodium hypochlorite in front of patients. They don't like to hear that we're irrigating their nerve chamber with bleach.

But it'll disinfect like a mofo.

Professional hazard for me I’m afraid. I manage an R&D team that formulates cleaning products for a living. We do offer a line of disinfectants suitable for medical offices (although not surgical theaters).

What do you make that smells worse than Peridox? Anything?

Personally, I make some organic tainted methane from time to time that just smells like ass.

Professionally, we work hard to insure our products have a pleasing scent. However, we have a product containing oxalic acid that if it wasn’t formulated to cover the base odor would smell like burnt rubber on a decayed chipmunk.
