| ryouma | when will az return its results from its 3-saturdaytesting | 02:12 |
| LjL | danielp3344, it's probably not any worse than people (meaning public people, including doctors) on TV wearing masks incorrectly, showing everyone how to wear them... incorrectly | 02:14 |
| danielp3344 | LjL: well, wearing a mask at least shows you care | 02:14 |
| LjL | marginally, if you keep the nose out | 02:14 |
| danielp3344 | Wearing no mask, with an obvious intention to come into contact with people, is worse IMO | 02:15 |
| ryouma | i had to go to dentist, was inspected pointlessly by an underling, had no idea where to put the mask for that, had contaminated hands, then had to figure out how to put it back and seal it | 02:15 |
| danielp3344 | LjL: thoughts on bandanas? | 02:15 |
| ryouma | and then lie there for an hour | 02:15 |
| ryouma | so there is a lot to figuring how what to do with a mask in certainc ases | 02:16 |
| LjL | danielp3344, i am of the "anything's better than nothing" camp, although if you *can get* something better... then probably do | 02:16 |
| LjL | ryouma, oh you went? | 02:16 |
| danielp3344 | Luckily I've only had to make use of a mask once | 02:16 |
| danielp3344 | My business has been pretty easy to keep contactless | 02:16 |
| ryouma | LjL: i went on the undertstanding that the room would be fallow for a few hours (but there was hvac) and that dental work would be done if needed. then i was made to wait more than an hour and was told that the dental work would not be done. i said i would not have gone if i had known that. we had been given assurances manytimes the work would be done in teh same appointment | 02:17 |
| LjL | :\ | 02:18 |
| ryouma | so have no dental work having been done, no place to go if there are emergencies, and a treatment plan of 1400usd he wants to do in a month, right when the peak is even higher because lockdown lifted | 02:18 |
| LjL | a straightforward "no, we can't do that with our setup sir, sorry" wouldn't have been the end of the world | 02:18 |
| ryouma | (gong agian is also really hard on my non-covid health conditions) | 02:18 |
| LjL | ryouma, 1400 bucks means like... root canals and/or extractions and/or crowns are definitely involved, right? | 02:20 |
| LjL | well, crowns, or even just the very fancy composite fillings they get done in labs lately, actually | 02:20 |
| LjL | each of them can be 500ish so... | 02:20 |
| ryouma | not only that, but i had little nasal filters so that i could try to breathe through those. he pulled them out without permission, then shoved them back in without permission, even though he knew he had no intentions of doing the promised work. only need them if the work is done. nope just a few cavities. | 02:21 |
| LjL | can you find some other place? this just sound like a nest of pricks, which you don't want when having dental work done | 02:22 |
| LjL | i had a dentist who was a bit of a prick for a short while, talked on the phone while tinkering with my mouth | 02:22 |
| danielp3344 | oof | 02:23 |
| LjL | didn't use a dental dam, at some point he almost dropped one bit of metal into my throat | 02:23 |
| LjL | well, he did drop it, but his assistant managed to rescue it from my tongue | 02:23 |
| danielp3344 | Human teeth are just not optimal for what we use them for | 02:23 |
| LjL | later after the incident i read many dentists on the internet being like "first thing, ask if they use dental dams, and if they say no and/or don't understand what's the big deal, go someplace else" | 02:23 |
| LjL | what are you even talking about? right now i'm tearing through a freshly killed giraffe's raw meat | 02:24 |
| ryouma | this one did drop something in back of throat once, so who knows what i swallowed. never uses dental dam, i am not familiar with dental dams. he is good about accommodating my orthostatic intolerance. | 02:25 |
| ryouma | i presume dental dams get the bad stuff in fillings not to go down throat | 02:25 |
| ryouma | they also did ont social distancel, with one another or with me, and there weaw another patient in the wating room contra what they said theyw ould do | 02:26 |
| ryouma | we all kind of walked in a line in a hallway | 02:27 |
| ryouma | they wore surgical masks at least | 02:27 |
| LjL | ryouma, not so much the fillings per se. they let the dentist work in a "cleaner" environment which means the fillings (or other stuff) can end up being more effective, for instance, if glues come in contact with your saliva they may not be as effective... and on the other side of the dam, you can salivate and move your tongue around and it's not a problem, and an assistant doesn't constantly need to be suctioning, and you don't have to fear for their | 02:27 |
| LjL | metal bits to choke you | 02:27 |
| ryouma | can you breathe? | 02:27 |
| ryouma | i hafve never had a dentist do that | 02:28 |
| LjL | ryouma, yes, although *while* the dental dam is being placed, you may need to breathe through the nose for a moment or two. throughout most of the time, the dam is kept in tension by a metal "stand", so it doesn't really form a seal with your mouth | 02:28 |
| LjL | ryouma, younger dentists routinely do it, at least in europe (but i think the US too, don't quote me), older dentists... well, depends on how updated they want to stay | 02:29 |
| LjL | but having actually had that bit of metal almost choke me, trust me, i'm happy my current dentist uses them | 02:29 |
| ryouma | i was horizontal when the piece of mercury filling or whatever it was fell down my throat. dentist was like "whatever it was it was a piece of you". | 02:30 |
| LjL | even if it's a little painful because there's another metal thing that *keeps* the dental dam tensioned *around* the tooth (or teeth) involved... so yeah that part kinda goes in between your teeth, and touched your gums, and is not super pleasant | 02:30 |
| ryouma | does it work for deep cleaning in addition to fillings? | 02:30 |
| ryouma | and extractions | 02:30 |
| LjL | extractions, i think so, but not completely sure. deep cleaning, no | 02:31 |
| LjL | it works for fillings and for root canals at least | 02:31 |
| olwen | the last dentist I went to was the best dentist ever. he had to work on a tooth that was really bad he did such a good job everything he did was done so very well he put the jell on first so needle didn't hardly hurt and just had a very calm manner about him 11/10 dental experience | 02:32 |
| ryouma | wish i had something to keep my teeth from getting worse for 6 months | 02:32 |
| bin_bash | dental dams are for oral sex | 02:32 |
| olwen | the one before that was scary | 02:32 |
| olwen | bin_bash, that's wht i thought of lol | 02:32 |
| olwen | i heard that too | 02:32 |
| bin_bash | ive literally never heard it in an actual dental context before | 02:32 |
| olwen | i think the last dentist i went to used something like that to catch the water | 02:33 |
| ryouma | dunno why they don't make them out of nitrile | 02:33 |
| bin_bash | whenever i have to get fillings i always get nitrous and injections | 02:33 |
| LjL | bin_bash, the fact they have "dental" in sex should probably provide a hint that people do produce and use them for things that aren't just what you're thinking of | 02:34 |
| olwen | I think he was from Africa or something but he just had this really calm way about him...funny how people can make you feel calm even when drilling into your jaw | 02:34 |
| olwen | other dentists it's more scary | 02:34 |
| LjL | nitruous oxide is unusual in italy | 02:34 |
| LjL | nitrous also | 02:34 |
| olwen | maybe some others want to hurt people | 02:34 |
| bin_bash | LjL: they're called that because they go around your mouth | 02:34 |
| LjL | bin_bash, they are called that because they are used in dentistry | 02:35 |
| bin_bash | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 02:35 |

| bin_bash | LjL: no, i'm just telling you that in the US a dental dam is only ever referred to that way in regards to sex | 02:37 |
| bin_bash | is that really so difficult for you to conceive? that the entire context is about oral sex here? | 02:38 |
| bin_bash | the entire first 2 pages of google ffs | 02:38 |
| ketas | from my experience, who even uses dental dam? | 02:38 |

| LjL | yes, there are many pages about sex, yes, there are also... depictions | 02:38 |
| bin_bash | none of my dentists ever use that | 02:38 |
| bin_bash | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 02:38 |
| LjL | it's still a dental damn used for fucking dental work ffs | 02:38 |
| LjL | no, in the US, it is not | 02:39 |
| bin_bash | i'm just saying in california if you google "dental dam": the entire first and second page are about safe sex | 02:39 |
| ketas | you google porn too much | 02:39 |
| LjL | it is referred and used that way by YOU | 02:39 |
| bin_bash | no i dont watch porn | 02:39 |

| bin_bash | LjL: dentists here don't call them that they call them "rubber dams" | 02:39 |
| bin_bash | o.o | 02:40 |

| danielp3344 | how did we get here? | 02:44 |
| bin_bash | it's my fault, i admit it | 02:45 |
| Raf[m] | LOL reading back at this argument. My 2 cents, "dental dam" definitely has a sexual connotation in the US. Everyone's experience is different | 02:48 |
| Raf[m] | it has quite a few entries on urban dictionary which is a good check against street lingo: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dental+dam | 02:49 |
