Selected Posts and FAQs

I’m adding this page as a place to refer to all of my top most selected posts. These are blog posts that I refer to the most, and I realized the other day that I tweet them out regularly, but, not everyone is on Twitter! So I’m calling them “Selected Posts” here, since I can’t “pin” them any other way. Followed by my top most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

DOCTORS PLEASE SEE THIS PAGE <–linked FOR URGENT CASES/EMERGENCY INFO TY.

If my site helps you in any way at all, would you please consider supporting me a little too? Thanks!

Bonus: Dental Freezing (Numbing) Formula that works great for many patients with CTDs:

1/2 mepiva w/out epi, 1 art w/epi 1:100,000

“art” stands for “articaine” *

*articaine and bruvidicaine has worked well for some others
We need low to no epi mixed in or it goes out too fast. (Reference: dental numbing, dental freezing)
