@MsNerdStatus there is nothing remotely wrong with acrylic nails, as long as they aren't obnoxiously long.

im deathly afraid if dentists, in december 10 i had 13 teeth taken out with only novacain... they did NOT put me to sleep, and they told me half way thru, because i was SCREAMING, that they would have to stop, because i was scaring the other patients.. excuse me... i have anxiety... im AFRAID of dentists, and im scraing other people... excuse me for having fear, next time ill remember to relax, while you hit me with that gigantic needle 40 times...and ill remember to mute myself....

@JvmJpe0407 honestly, if you´re so affraid of dental procedures, you should brush your teeth more often and floss, of course...

I am in school for dental assisting and I am in my 5th term (6 week increments) and can tell you that she does not know that much about the instruments used.

[megadeathbauru]

@JohnniesLovelyGirl I´m a dentist, and she was pretty clear about everything... this video aims the patience, she not teacing anything.

[MariusM1989]

how often should you go to the dentist? I have heard someone say every 6 month. although I usually go once a year.

[megadeathbauru]

@MariusM1989 It will depend on many factors that only your dentist will know the proper answer...

Firs of all Michelle, your a great instructor. I would like to make one comment if any dentists are reading. Please tell dentists and to have more respect for patients because at one of my dental visits i overheard the doctor say , she has "optimistic disease ". I hope that dentsit, Dr. Fox, has come to respect patients more. Also, I wish you the best. You would make a good dental professor. Thanks!

I now,you can see it on the x-ray. But you need to examin if the deisies is active or not,by examin your gum

[Dansmongo20]

but what about examin the gum! Periodontitis is not something you can ignore!

[megadeathbauru]

@Dansmongo20 the dentists usually exam (here in Brazil) the whole oral cavity, the adjacents tissues and the TMJ (temporomandibular joint)
