Elyse, my dear, think about what you would do if the dentist ruined your son's mouth. Would you ever take him back there again? No. Would you search for a new dentist and tell him about the problem almost immediately? Yes. Be your own protective mama ❤ because you deserve it, yes, but also because when you get in the habit of accepting goodness for yourself, your son will eventually learn that habit too

I once told a dental office receptionist that I didn't like a previous dentist I had had and was embarrassed because I didn't know what to tell them. She told me, you don't have to tell them anything. You don't have to like all the dentists/doctors out there, and people switch dentists and doctors all the time. They may not even notice (obviously that's dependant on how big the city is or dental practice). I had such bad anxiety going to dentists that when she told me this I finally realized I could control my health/dental choices. Growing up I just had to go to whatever dentist or doctor my parents said that I had to go to, and there were several I didn't like, and my anxiety grew from that.

I'm a dentist - many of us are anxious people-pleasers and totally understand other people who are anxious people-pleasers. As for your experience - I would most certainly support you in that break-up. Reminds me of my orthodontist who did something that wasn't quiet right, and I went back longer than I should have. Can be quite traumatizing. I went in like you did... prepared to tell him what I thought he did wrong, did tell him - he didn't accept responsibility so I kept going back to try to get him to see my way. I eventually wrote him a letter, gave it to his front desk, and didn't return. It's been hard - things were never going to be made right. I moved on to another amazing orthodontist where I felt safe and listened to... wished I would have moved on sooner, but I felt loyal to the first orthodontist and questioned myself... learned not to do that. Here to support!

Oh my gosh you have no idea how validating it is to get this feedback from you. Thank you so much! The orthodontist I went to for my wisdom tooth removal was actually the son of the dentist I go to, and sometime during the procedure (I was asleep bc I’m afraid of dental work) poked my cheek so badly with a sharp instrument that I had a bruise on my face for months and they told me that was totally normal. Your comment has given me so much reassurance that I’m not crazy 😂

It took me awhile to get over the experience, and I was angry at myself when I didn't listen to my instincts. Annoyed that there are people who don't take responsibility for their doings - hard to fathom as I imagine many of us are the opposite and take responsibility for problems that we didn't actually cause...

@@alissasonnenberg4108 Ugh- I'm so sorry that happened! I am also the only one besides other dentists who can notice the damage to my teeth from ortho. It's the principle for me - the fact that the ortho kept denying it... and feeling violated when we put trust into their care. Things happen of course... and the way the professional responds matters so much! I find that I now extend compassion to my teeth and self- we did the best we could at the time, and self-compassion helps to release the frustration/anger when we can't change the outcome. What do you think would be best for you given the circumstances?

@@elyse_myers yes! That’s what they told me! That I needed a root canal on one, the tooth beside needed a crown and the other side needed cavities filled. Went for second opinion with my childhood dentist I hadn’t seen in decades and they quoted $200 to fix one cavity and nothing else needed. The other place quotes $3000. It’s scary when professionals lie especially when someone like myself (and I think a little bit you💗) can’t always defend ourselves in the moment and get flustered. I was so thankful I went and asked someone else before letting them do anything. Find a new dentist and just have them call your previous one and transfer your files. You don’t have to speak to them again.

I am a huge fan of second opinions if something doesn't sound right to you. I will admit, that sometimes then you have the issue of deciding which opinion you trust more and that can be tough. For my patients, my speech during their annual physical after they admitted in my screening questions they hadn't seen the dentist for awhile was, "I'm going to give the you the card for ____ DMD. I trust him to not do anything to your teeth that doesn't need to be done." There were other offices that would pull all my patients' teeth and I was always concerned that may not have been necessary, but I'm their medical provider, not their dentist, so what do I know?

From one anxious people pleaser to another - pro tip on breaking up with someone like a dentist. When they ask you about scheduling your next appointment, tell them you need to look at your schedule and will call them back… then just never call them back. They will call you back a few times (which WILL be anxiety inducing) but just let it go to VM, delete it without listening to it, and after a few times of them calling you, they will give up. Wish I could just be more direct when it comes to situations like this but I know myself too well lol. I’ve effectively broken up with a dentist and several doctors that were terrible this way. Also - I’m sorry people are invading your personal space and coming to/driving past your house. I get that people want to meet you or let you know what a positive impact you’ve had on their lives, but that’s a scary thing and people need to respect boundaries more ❤

I once had a dentist who was polishing my teeth after cleaning. ( First red flag; where's the hygienist?). He was generating heat inside my tooth, which is an indication of improper use of the instrument. I literally grabbed his wrist and asked him to stop because he was generating heat. He got really defensive and wanted to keep going. I noped on out of the exam room, paid the bill, and never returned. First and last visit. You know when something isn't right and you are not obligated in any way to stick it out or explain your leaving. Just call and cancel. You don't have to say why or offer to call back later. You aren't even obligated to answer the phone if they call, nor are you required to call them back, even if they leave a voicemail. You are in charge of your own well-being and have the authority to fire your dentist. Hang in there!

Breaking up with ‘professionals’ is sooooooo hard! Between the confrontation and getting gaslit half the time…… You are not alone! My trick is to write a letter. I either bring it with me to the appointment and hand it to them (I’ve never managed to be able to read it in person), or read it over the phone. I have a hard time asking for what I need, but if I pretend that it was my Mom or my kid that needed me to stick up for them, I can trick myself into to doing it for myself. Sometimes. It’s a work in progress…..

@bohemianmiss6282 5 месяцев назад
@recoveringsoul755 For me, it is injected just under the skin in key points on the forehead, temples, sides of the head, back of the neck and where the neck meets the shoulder with the tiniest baby needle. I've had it both through my neurologist's office and separately through a pain clinic, and the shot placement was exactly the same. Takes less than 10 mins and gives months of relief. It is incredibly low risk with overall low risk side effects. It does not go into the brain or bloodstream. It does cause some muscle freezing, which is the point. I notice it the most in my forehead and being unable to use my eye brows as expressively. I can move everything else normally. That does feel a bit odd, but it's worth it not to be suffering. I hope that answers your question. I can only speak to my experiences, and I'm not a doctor, so if it's something you're looking into, I would ask a trusted, educated medical professional. It was covered by my insurance, as a side note, which, also kind of a miracle.

I would have been over the moon about it if it was for me because it was so real and not rehearsed or edited to an inauthentic perfection. That's why I love your videos. Thank you for sharing these things with us. You always make me feel better about my own inner/outer monolog dilemmas. 😀

Hey Elise! So I asked my husband about the wisdom teeth thing as I was very curious why myself. He explained that if you believe we are primitive creatures when we would eat stuff in the wild eventually our teeth would break and fall out so the wisdom teeth would then be able to move in and still enable us to have teeth and eat and survive. He did explain it a little more eloquently but that’s the jist 😊

Just call, cancel the appt, when they ask if you want to reschedule you say no thank you. No explanation needed. Also, fun fact, when your mouth is "at rest" your teeth shouldn't be touching anyhow. Your tongue should be suctioned to the roof of your mouth with a gap between teeth. But the chewing... That's when it's important that they come together.

Elyse, To answer your question about them just being around- yes wasps tend to be both pollinators and predators which makes them excellent for gardens and agriculture because they both pollinate and serve as fantastic pest control. Those wasps are likely either looking for flowers or they're looking for other insects, caterpillars, etc that they can take home to feed their larvae. Wasps are actually awesome, like bees. There's a few specific kinds that really have an attitude problem, like yellowjackets, which look a lot like the very common European paper wasp but you can tell them apart easily. The good guys have bright orange antennae tips and their legs dangle down behind them, they live in the exposed paper honey comb looking thing. Wasps and bees remember faces, so as long as you don't do anything to make them feel threatened, they will leave you alone. Although watch for wet grass on hot dry days, they get on it to drink and if you step on one, you'll both regret it. It can be a real problem around kids water play. Keeping a bowl of water with a few twigs in it (don't leave in the sun) so that they can walk down the twig to drink, will solve this. Do a quick search on the difference between yellowjackets and paper wasps; and how to identify other wasps, spiders, etc. Its such valuable information and there's a lot of really amazing and misjudged critters out there. 😊

Hearing you describe this situation with your dentist - I had a very very similar situation with a dentist that I had to go to because my dentist was overfilled in the same office 3 times for emergencies and every time I wasn’t happy with how things went but the last time I told him I thought there was something wrong like I had an infection in my tooth - I don’t remember the exact details now but rather than do anything productive with the tooth with the problem like sand down the filling on it he started sanding down the Whole/untouched tooth underneath it. I knew it wasn’t helping but wasn’t able to vocalize it and just let him do it until I could get out of there. And then I did everything I could to hold my anger and frustration in until I made it outside the office and just sobbed angry tears for the next hour. I never went back to him again or explained why I changed dentists on the spot and I’ve been so grateful ever since! But I miss my original dentist too, since it wasn’t his fault - just that he’s downsizing /retiring but he was very helpful in recommending the dental school he teaches at and getting me set up with the best team under him at the time 😇 Even though it didn’t go the way you wanted it to - kudos to you for even thinking/working up to confronting your dentist and telling him what was wrong! I never got there myself. ❤

It's OK to cancel appointments (with notice). You do not need to give a reason. It's OK to switch medical care providers. You do not need to give a reason. There's many valid reasons for doing these things, such as scheduling changes, location issues (maybe you moved or changed work and that place is no longer convenient), price. And also simply because you want to, or you're not happy with the service. You got this!

Also I love that you follow your different interests and have found a way to make it a career.

Anywho, all that to say I relate to you on so many levels and really appreciate that I know you exist and are doing well 😂 gives me hope I can find happiness

Ugh changing dentists can always be challenging- dentists just create this weird dynamic where you want them to be proud of you but they’re basically a stranger so you don’t want them to know you’re trying to make them proud. I’m not a dentist but I work with them a lot - just cancel the appointment, say you’ll call back to schedule another and just don’t. BUT, for your migraines and now that one side doesn’t touch, I’d recommend you find a dentist that does Invisalign. Sounds crazy but it helps with TMJ which is basically pressure in your jaw and can lead to headaches. You’ve got a kick-butt smile already but they’ll know how to fix the mis-alignment and hopefully make you more comfortable. Just make sure you get a dentist who is trained in Invisalign - like one that is part of AACA or Molis Coaching. Plus, a lot of them offer a free scan so you can test them out a bit and save some money for more books 😂

Elyse, you are so precious. You have the sweetest heart and you’re such a beautiful soul. You are not awkward at all. You are hilarious and a delight! Don’t doubt yourself so much! People don’t criticize your every move, thought, intention, and word. And if someone does, then that says something about them, not you. They've got their own funk to figure out. Put the boundaries you need between you and people who behave in toxic ways. You don’t deserve to feel how you have been! I’m so happy for you and all of your progress you’ve been making ❤️ you deserve to feel safe and loved and you are so strong. You have been kicking so much tail! I’m so proud of you and I’m praying for you ❤️ I’m sorry you’ve had such a rough time with the church. Unfortunately, some people call themselves Christians, but don’t actually know Him. And unfortunately, even great people can be punks. But the church is not Jesus. We’re just muddy water. Jesus is the pure picture. ““Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭21‬-‭23‬ ‭ESV‬‬ bible.com/bible/59/mat.7.21-23.ESV Keep your eyes on Jesus. The church may fail, but God never will ❤️

Re your Saturn - a year ago I finally had to say goodbye to my 14 year old Ion. It was the best car. It was rear-ended & t-boned multiple times and just kept going, but everything major started going wrong at once, so it was time. They're great cars, though. I'm sorry you had to get rid of yours because of that jerk. Also, I met your doppelganger here in L.A. She's a very quiet, sweet, Russian artist who walks dogs on the side. ❤

We've had a 2004 Saturn Ion in our family for years that's still going strong. Originally my Dad bought it slightly used and drove it for years, then when he died I bought it from his estate and drove it a few years, and then I gave it to my son who has been driving it for a few years now. Some years back my son and I both hit deer within two weeks of each other, me in my Saturn Ion and he in his Buick Century, and the circumstances in both cases were practically the same... we were both traveling at about 45 mph and the deer hit our front left bumper and flipped over our hood, windshield, and roof. My car was completely fine, except for a little crack in the plastic bumper that was so unnoticeable it could've even been there before. My son's car was really messed up, with a crushed fender and headlight assembly and I think some other damage too. There are several advantages to plastic car bodies and I wonder why other car manufacturers never got into them?

I switched to a different dentist and feel 1000000% better. I explained my anxiety to him and he was very patient and talked me through everything. I live in the same town as you so if you want a suggestion of who bit is I can let you know. I’ve had 2 other friends switch to them and they’ve had amazing experience too!

Highly relate with the part about having an appointment that's later in the day and then simply spending all of your time waiting for the appointment....only to arrive late.😅 I try to schedule all my appointments for early morning mainly to avoid the whole waiting part. I'm usually still late, but going early helps decrease the anxiety that builds with time. The same anxiety that magically disappears once I get to the appointment.🙄
