Let's end the debate before 2017 begins

Earlier this year, people were saying that flossing does more harm than good. Recently, I came across an Instagram post that said "Flossing can increase your life expectancy by 6 years." I'm not sure if that's true either but here's what I'm thinking:

Had to put on my lucky suit and tie for my second interview today.🔵 #MorningMotivation #InterviewSeason #KillingIt #DentistsWhoLift "Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. Never quit." (at University of Tennessee Health Science Center)

I took this bad boy out yesterday at my external rotation at the Montgomery Health Department. The pain was so extreme that the patient was considering to take up a friend’s offer of dousing the mouth with some whiskey 😵 and removing it with a pair of pliers that the patient’s friend also uses for fishing. 🎣   The patient also said the friend had agreed to take out someone’s tooth before and pulled out the wrong tooth 👀  So the guy ended up losing two teeth... 🙊   Needless to say, I’m glad that the decision was made by the patient to have the tooth extracted in a sterile environment with techniques and tools 💉 that were designed to minimize pain and additional post-extraction complications by a dental professional... AKA me 😃 #IWantToGoFishing #WordySoIDontViolateHippa #DentistsWhoLift (at Montgomery County Health Department)
