I've done 3 cases so far this morning.

Most are sedated. Usually with a benzodiazepine/propofol/etc

Everyone is different when it comes to post op pain. Some people are eating pizza that day, some people are pussies and cry for a week.

I would plan to do it on a Thursday or Friday so you have the weekend to recover.

Why would a restaurant that specializes in traditional Southern dishes and “down home” rustic atmosphere think it’s a good idea to associate with degenerate homosexual fetishism?

ETA, nevermind, now I know why they would. Here’s their CEO…

Oral Surgeon. I work 3 days a week. I only do the procedures I want to do. I don’t deal with hospitals or have call. 100% private practice bliss.

My wife and I tried to have a kid for 17 years before we exhausted all fertility options and went through IVF. 6 rounds to be exact. Insurance covers very little. We probably paid out of pocket close to $250k. It was a brutal process. 5 rounds where nothing even made it far enough along to implant. I think it was 55 eggs in total and none even made it far enough to genetic test. We switched on round 6 to a Dr in Scottsdale,AZ. 1 made it far enough to test. On an A-F grading scale, it was a C- The Dr said he wouldn’t recommend implanting it due to the low probability of survival, but if we wanted to move forward we could.

We now have a happy, healthy 19 month old baby girl who has redefined my concept of love and grace and humility. Is IVF a sin? I’m not sure. I do know that the amount of love this little girl has created and the understanding I now have of unconditional love has completely transformed my walk with the Lord.

A lot of people think he is Asian. But in fact, he’s German.

Apparently they remove the hide. According to my research there are a variety of ways this is accomplished.

I’m an Oral Surgeon. No way in hell I’m letting parents or spouses back in the treatment room during a procedure.

That's a great question that I hear a lot. I'm sure there are some orthodontists on here who can explain this better than I can.

There are certain types of movement/expansion of the arches that can only be accomplished prior to about 11 or 12 years old. After that the palate has fused and can no longer be truly expanded. Most kids do not have all of their permanent teeth it prior to this age. You do Phase I of ortho in order to create space so that when all of the permanent teeth have come in they have more room and ortho usually can get a much better result in a shorter amount of time.
