Do you find that there is a higher incidence of vertical root fracture with cast post and core as opposed to a prefab post with a bonded core?

At my clinic we only do pre fab post and core. I have not had to much experience core and post which we take impressions for. I've tried a lot of different prefab post and core and have not had any vertical root fractures. We do clinical research with Gordon Christiansen at our clinic and try a lot of new materials including post and build up materials. Vertical root fractures happen when you use to large of a post. Hope this helps

Ever say "i need to check for cavities" and proceed to unzip your pants?

[LPullo87]

would you ever knock out a patient and stick your diq in their mouth

If a patient needs it, I will recommend it but that's is all based on patients financial resources. I just want to make sure they get any of their cavities and perio issues addressed before they loose a tooth.

Depends how how long you've been wearing the current ones. Hard to tell since its a case by case basis. In my opinion, metal braces are the best in terms of results, but if you only have minor ortho corrections, invisalign will do.

do you hire dental assistants based on how hot they are

What is the average annual income for a dentist? I realize it varies based on location and theres a low and high end but give me an average range

[ddsdeeBO]

How important is flossing in your opinion?

Flossing is really important. Think about it this way, when you brush your teeth, you are getting about 60% of your tooth surface since the bristles will not reach inbetween. Flossing is the only way to reach the pockets in between where most food and plaque will build up. Floss at least once a day or else have stinky breath. j.k. A lot of bone lose is from not flossing since plaque will turn into calculus and more buildup will occur around the calculus. So basically it usually goes from gingivitis(soft tissue related) to periodontitis(bone loss, hard to reverse in most cases)

I have 9.86/10 teeth, but I wan them whiter.

Would you recommend veneers or regular whitening methods?

[ddsdeeBO]

I would recommend seeing your dentist asap. You can get pericornitis which is an infection around the 3rd molars due to partial erruption. This can lead to some serious problems if not addressed. People swell up like chimpmunks sometimes due to infection of the 3rd molars depending on the case.

Not yet

[ddsdeeBO]

not really, I rather have a better assistant that can actually work since they increase production and make your life easier. It would be a plus if they were.

It can range from minimum $100k to $500k. If you you own multiple clinics and hire associates, your income can be $500k+. It all depends on how you want to run a practice. Some people like to chill and make o k money and some like to hustle and make more money. Everyone is different, so it ranges widely interms of income potential

Should I use DayWhite ACP 9.5% Hydrogen Peroxide or DayWhite ACP 38% Carbamide Peroxide.

Is there any difference at all?

Would you recommend veneers or regular whitening methods?

I would always go with whitening as veneers will require some enamel removal and tooth preperation. If your teeth are not aligned, veneers can be an option instead of ortho. If your teeth are aligned and whitening is all you are looking for, see your dentist and trying to get a higher concentration whitening system 30%+. However, some people become to sensitive to the higher concentrations.

one of my tooths is stuck under another one and wont come out...its been 3 years..

The 38% carbamide peroxide is pretty strong stuff. Try it and if you are not sensitive to it continue to use it until your desired shade. Most people can only handle under 20%. You will get a "zing" sensation due to the hydrodynamic theory with dentinal tubules.
