We Quit Cigarettes

[FortCluck]

i was involved in a study during dental school where we could not do anything for three weeks except rinse with listerine!! The things I will do for $$$! . i also participated in another study that was surgical bone grafting around a tooth!! I was voted “class pin cushion” so my hygiene classmates could be the first to be certified in local anesthesia! My patients can’t say that anything I do them is worse than what I’ve endured!

I never knew you work in the dental field

Unless you're going a really long way, you don't save enough time speeding to make it worth the risk of tickets and bodily injury to yourself and others. Do the math. It's crazy. Totally pointless to speed unless you're going hundreds of miles and even then... I just don't speed. Why bother? It takes me an hour to get to town. If I drive 10 mph over the limit and don't get behind a slow person, I may save 4 minutes, but I lose all that at the first red light I hit. All speeding does is get me there at the beginning of the light instead of the end. There's just no point. I go the speed limit as long as it feels safe to do it--otherwise I slow down.

Yeah, theoretically I know it’s pointless but I still do it. Only really on the highway though. I try not to on the smaller roads. I used to not at all or if I did, not very fast, but now I do all the time and definitely pretty fast

What kind of flouride does your toothpaste have in it?

I'm using paradontax toothpaste I think that's what it's called. Mine has the stannous flouride in it

I'm about to report you and request that someone change your name to Lil D Jr.

I say it out loud when you tell on yourself Kdog.
I say that is RIDICULOUS.

stannous fluoride is basically the “original” fluoride

That pink stuff in the teeth trays?

I just remembered you had an appointment today.

Was wondering about your next appt...find out about the nausea and eyepee.

no don’t! I’ll behave I promise.

I’ll slow down and even throw my phone in the back.

Though the speed limit feels super slow now.

I am still super careful about everything though despite the speed

I know.

I’m working on it.

Maybe that can be another thing to quit. Speeding.

So you're using your phone while driving? Do you know how many people die because of that? A 21 year old just died here and seriously injured 2 people when he went head on into them

No...it's in some of the regular otc toothpastes.


I think my appointment is not until closer to the end of the month.
I didn't add it to my calendar so I'm not sure.
I'll call tomorrow...I think they are open on Saturdays.
