Love how Ortho got the 1 in 5 who wants to rip out healthy teeth. Bill got the 4 in 5 who wants to protect them.

How about adding the dentist Godfather? (aka maxillofacial surgeon). I swear, they are the most sadistic butcherers I have ever seen and they see us, the rest of dentists as their minions

Dentists are reversed tooth fairies. Instead of taking a tooth and leaving some money, they take your money and put back in a tooth.

Reading the comments, now you'll need a video explaining to the Europeans why Americans don't go to the dentist. . . Medical insurance doesn't pay for teeth. . . Because?

You should do a skit on optometry vs ophthalmology rivalry

I think he just didn't belive in the reverse tooth fairy.

my grandparents could use a reverse tooth fairy. I'll tell them to get a medical degree and say teeth 3 times. Buying a medical degree online will be cheaper than 6 tooth implants.

He realized he already suffers the more terrible fate of having to write progress notes.

More that the dentist is threatening using specialist lingo for the worst thing the specialist can imagine. Also doesn't help that he's trying to threaten the human equivalent of charcoal: someone so thoroughly burnt, there's nothing left that's uncharred.

@@victore.1509 I did love the momentary, "wait, you live like this?" horror that ever-so-briefly distracted the dentist from his intimidation mission.

Yep!! Squares with medical coding/ billing, that’s my job. PE’s since 2021 are now performed only on pertinent body areas/ organ systems for that patient, at that visit, according to the provider’s professional judgment to meet medical necessity. So, noting teeth would be unnecessary these days… rest easy, Bill!

2:20 coulda sworn dental dude was gonna say, "stay in your lane" ! !

Bill is so burned out from work, he just doesn't care anymore

Have you seen what dentist couldve done?? They're definitely the mafia in medical world

Medically? No, dentally.

Not medically. That's the whole point.

Dental bills/loan sharking same difference.

I ain't no snitch or nothin', but the other day I did have a dentist give me a quote of over $40,000 to have my dangerously decayed teeth fixed. Sounds pretty mobby to me

Well the threat is extra flossing. Which is silly because most people don't floss to begin with.

Which is just bread

@@hippiemcfake6364 instead I swish olive oil 4 20 minutes b4 brushing, afterwards swish the final toothpaste rinse as long as I can, about the same time it takes to watch one of these here vlogs.....

Just two pieces of bread 😹

It's a 'nothing' sandwich! 😆

Or offering Bill a dentistry position out of pity.

@@phoenixfire8978 or making him into a Jonathan.

Progress notes and a pager really is hell.

Are you an orthopedist?

I was floored. My word I’m still laughing ugh what are we doing

This!

When someone asks me what a junior doctor does, my answer is an overglorified secretary - writing notes for other people, calling and taking phone calls on behalf of the consultant, finding documents from decades ago and filling out paperwork. And sometimes, if I'm really lucky, I get to go see someone with low blood pressure and tell them to drink.

just about to write orders and progress notes 😭

Idk that doesn’t sound too bad

the jaw is safely in doctor territory but yes a holistic approach is helpful and the weird divide we've created between medicine and dentistry probably can cause things to be overlooked

The fact that I was confused until you said "osteomyelitis" rly shows how big of a nerd I am

Well you could also visit the dentist regularly to prevent it from happening

@@subhicshas7553 I do visit the dentist every 3-6 months ever since this happened. I felt no pain in my mouth due to not having any nerves in that part. I really just thought it was a sinus infection. When they took my wisdom teeth out they completely cleaned out the hole and I had x-rays taken about 2 months after showing the bone had grown back into the hole. They assume it got into the bone from my sinus and only found it by looking into my mouth as the swelling had gone downwards instead of out of my face.

@@subhicshas7553 spoken like someone who's never been broke enough to remove their own teeth and then taken fish amoxicillin for a week bc the county dentist won't be through for a bit and you don't have $500

and yet somehow that fits perfectly with his character

I love that, I just glossed over that because it is just the perfect metaphor for Bill's life

It’s called an air sandwich.

As a new NP had a pt come in with “gum sores.” Basically injury from new dentures, no infection. Prescribed some viscous lidocaine to dab on & referral to dentistry. I coded it with a dental related code & had the coder call to yell at me because I can’t use that code. Changed it to an acceptable medical code that was appropriate but caucus. 😂

I have definitely done this before, haha. They stock bread in the theatre tearoom where I work, and sometimes when on call, I only have enough time to grab some bread and eat it plain on the run.

​@@debrar1821 Holy moly that's a lot of money... All that just for a removal? I paid a total of ~$3500 for a couple of X-rays, a filling, root canal, and crown (including the tooth filing, crown manufacture and attachment), on a set of appointments a couple of years ago. And that was a private clinic, not covered by my insurance...

@@alimanski7941 I paid roughly $17 for a couple of x-rays about three weeks ago. They said my teeth were fine and I didn't need anything else.

@@debrar1821 I’m guessing a complicated surgical extraction then and fee for the consult? but that is quite a lot still.

​@@guineapiggirl1927 you must not be from the US. Congratulations

Truth. I had a doctor tell me, "I don't do teeth" as she was treating me for a mouth problem. I stated that the teeth were in the mouth and seemed to be affected by the problem she was treating and received a look that was more effective at shutting my mouth than if she'd told me to shut up. No, medical doctors don't do teeth.

“Not my problem, you’re in the teeth jockey’s hands now!”

The least those two doctors could do was to do a proper referral (unless it's the weekend) then prescribe antibiotics and pain medication.

That totally seems like an EMTALA violation. Your brother had a problem and they refused to even give him abx. A kid died from a tooth abscess because the mother was too poor to afford an extraction and the ER refused to treat him. The infection spread to his brain and medicaid ended up paying hundreds of thousands for brain surgery only for the kid to die anyway. That's when Maryland mandated Medicaid has to cover basic dental care for kids.

I cracked a molar on a popcorn kernel once and it ended up getting infected. The pain was so bad I couldn't even think. I went to the emergency room only to get told that while the tooth definitely had to come out, they couldn't do anything about it because it was a dental issue. They didn't even give me pain medication or antibiotics. So, I went home, got a mirror, some needle nose pliers and a bottle of whisky, then performed some old school pirate dentistry. I managed to extract the entire tooth without leaving any bits behind, and the relief was immediate. I went to my regular doctor the next morning and he prescribed antibiotics and told me to never do it again.

@@IRLTheGreatZarquon This just tells me that ERs should have dentists on call.

@@slook7094 I'm an oral surgery resident and can tell you a lot of hospitals, especially I'm urban areas, have dental/oral surgery on call at hospitals. Can't speak to rural areas where that might be more scarce.

Your dentist has a massive chip on his shoulder

@@richardde5201 shame he could neither diagnose nor treat the chip on his shoulder, as it was outside the oral cavity..

True, he'll need help from a different type of doctor for that, dental composite won't fix that kind of chip.

Yeah, if other people can diagnose and treat the problem then that dentist would be obsolete.

There's really no way to know if a root is being reabsorbed until you take an x-ray and I doubt your family medicine doctor has that kind of equipment

Calm down tooth bro

@@DGlaucomflecken I'm calm trust me.... *golf ball falls out of pocket*

@@leb4life11 😂😂😂

of course, but remember the pain when they get extracted?, now imagine them being inserted (and most probably needing to be extracted afterwards)...

Molars are great and all, but EXTRA molars?? That’s horrifying. Most people don’t have room for all the molars they were born with, can you imagine being given more?! Little crowding in the anterior from a supernumerary tooth or two, nothing many people haven’t lived with. But extra molars truly is cruel. A very just and reasonable penalty for the crime of physicians practicing dentistry, if you ask me.

THISSSSS

We need one of those, they are like a pegasus or a centaur. They are terrifying, chainsaw wielding creatures with perfect facial proportions that hang out with plastic surgeons. I've met a few

@@intrepidtomato Don't forget the hook. That hook and the sound of bits of skull going snap, crackle and pop are my strongest memories of working in a maxfax theatre.

American OMFS also have both degrees 😅

@@daniellepham8280 did a swift Google, Wikipedia suggests it's optional, is it one of those things that's determined on a state rather than federal level?

We absolutely do, maxfax surgeons are terrifyingly educated. Had my wisdom teeth extracted by one a couple of years ago (one of them was impacted and needed a little bit of jawbone removed to get it out) and he was like "yes I spent ten years in full time medical training, no I can't use a local anaesthetic it wouldn't be humane, no you can't procrastinate this your teeth are trying to kill you".

because he's heard similar things from admin, er, nephrology, neurology, etc... poor bill

A.k.a dentistry

Joanathan was correct.

You understimate how much trouble cheeks and a tongue can cause

@@dragan176 and children lol

And time shares a sail boat..

Are the white guys? Cause I’ve only been around dentist who are women or poc and they don’t do that.

From my experience as a dentist, those who are afraid of dentists tend to have to spend very high amount of money for dental treatment due to oral health negligence. Meanwhile normal people just pay for routine check up. Once a year.

No reason to, I'm actually a nice guy and hate nothing more than to see my patients sad or in pain. Many dentists are good people. But not those who treat kids. Those poor souls usually become insane after 10 years of dealing with children 😂

yeah that's exactly how you lose your molars

He should have said extranumerals instead 😂

@@dragan176 Totally ❤

Your rheumatologist must love you.

“Uh. What? Is that really your job?” And I carry a pager 📟 😂

There's no such thing as dentistry recidency, the education is built up differently

I mean at least in Brazil, it's more like you spend half of your education doing clinics, I have two roommates in odontological school and mainly the latter years of the 5 year program you spend like, 4 hours in theory class, 6 hours doing clinics as part of your class credits. Clinics is basically where the professor puts the whole class to attend the public, usually people who have come through the public system to get their dental treatments, and it's all done under the professor's supervision. You even have different types of clinics for the different specialties of dentistry, basically you spend a semester treating specific types of cases, and, after you finish your degree, you can do a residency to specialize in one of those fields of dentistry which is more clinics, for another 2 to 4 years.

@@dragan176 but a hospital usually has a hospital dentist. Don't they have interns or residents?

@@dragan176 100% there is dental residency. Orthodontics, OMS, endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics, radiology, anesthesia. You missed it by a mile.
