I brush only once a day (thoroughly though, probably a good 5 minutes no joke) and floss maybe twice a month. When I get my teeth cleaned I dont exactly enjoy it but I dont consider it to be painful either. Am I just a badass or genetically gifted?

The difference between that scraper and the things medieval executioners used to disembowel the condemned is size. That's it. We have technology lads - use it.

I watched an Oral Surgeon one day take out 4 wisdom teeth, surgically cutting them out, in about 20 minutes total. When patients are sedated, you gotta be moving quickly.

Technology in dentistry is definitely advancing at a crazy rate. Digital xrays are a big thing I have and they're so worth it (those little bastard sensors aren't cheap though) just for the speed. Don't have to have a dark room, uploads right to the screen.
Digital impression taking for crown and bridge is really interesting. In office milling machines and cad cam tech is taking off, but damn, it's hard for me to justify the price of those damn things. I have a scanner, but I dont' mill my own stuff. Just send it to the lab and let them do it. With the advancements in 3d printing, things are just taking off. I'll see if I can find some cool videos to show some stuff on it. |

One of my close buddies from dental school is an oral surgeon now, after another 6 years of school post dental school and a residency (**** that, no way). Some of the stuff he sends us even makes me a bit queasy. For the most part it's implants and wisdom teeth extractions, but he does some stuff at the hospital with cancer docs and reconstruction stuff and it's wild.

You should tell the story of how much student loan debt you have.

I did get a bank to take it over and cut my interest rate in half. 5 years in I’ve cut it in half. Started at 307000 at 7.2% interest 5 years ago, down near 140 now. My goal is 2 years now with adding another practice to start throwing serious money at it and get it over with |

If the dude can hack $30K/yr in principal (w/ a 7.2% rate to boot) off his loan debt, let's not cry for him too much here...
He's just scraping shit out of the mouths of meth-heads while preying on the vanity of teenage girls and pretty boys like RunKC (so like I said, teenage girls). And he's a condescending dick.
