Members don't see this ad.
1. You find idling to be a worthwhile use of time because so little of that happens, so when it does happens, it is great.

2. You don't know what the hell is happening on the news.

3. Your SDN "posts per day" drops precipitously.

4. You make stupid posts on SDN so that the "posts per day" would increase.

5. (Name your own here)

6. ...

7.
 
5. You feel guilty about sleeping
6. You don't get time to masterbate.
7. You dream of being chased by a block of wax.
 
8. A week without exams is an actual vacation.

9) Your obsession with details and perfection carries over into other arenas of your life. 😉 :laugh:

10) Your non dental friends call you up from time to time to see if you are still alive! :laugh:
 
11. People with inferiority complexes become happy to hear that 1 mm is acutally a lot.
 
He said 10!
 
Others...

When giving nitrous oxide, you assure the patient by saying, "Don't worry, I just tried some myself" :laugh:

You pass out dental floss to your friends after meals and lecture them on oral hygiene. 😉 😀

Fetor oris doesn't make you nauseous anymore. :scared:
 
You gleefully pass on the many free samples of Listerine and toothbrushes as low-cost stocking stuffers and birthday presents to unsuspecting friends and family.
 
12. Checking SDN and going to sleep early on Friday nights is a treat.

13. Can't figure out if I want a girlfriend or not. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't.

Thats what Im doing right now...except that instead of going to bed early, I get to stay up late studying. Freaking awesome.
 
Have 1 or 2 exams in a week is a treat, because when you dread the weeks of having more than 2...
 
...b/c when picking teams for fantasy basketball, you think of "LeFort" in stead of Lebron. :laugh:
 
That happened to me already 🙂

My wife used to get upset when I look at exposed clevage, but now she dosent have that problem, and i dont hear about it, so this is a positive in my book.
 
You only whiten your maxillary arch so you can show patients the difference thus sell.
 
You take study material with you to the bathroom instead of magazines.

I'm guilty again 🙁
 
You have a real nice chance to go a long way with a really hot girl but you decide to get some sleep instead and blow the chance. And not make any sense of what the hell you are talking about because you'd rather get some sleep.
 
You start dreaming that you are being chased with a peice of carving wax.

Now that's just plain irresponsible. You can sleep when you're dead....How hot are we talking?

I agree, and also. I begin to understand why all the dental students date other dental students as well.
 
You look at a spatula and decide it must be a maxillary lateral incisor because the mesial line angle is sharper than the distal - then realise that NO, it's a SPATULA, and have the sudden urge to drown yourself in a lake of chocolate 🙁 .

You actually look forward to wearing dress shoes.

You think that tension pneumothoraxes make perfectly good dinner conversation.

You forget that not everyone understands what "physio", "histo", "epi" and "gross" are.
 
You start calling things preps and refer to 3D figures using the term, axial wall, proximal box, etc.
 
You enter an elevator and says that it is going superior.
You care less about what the heck is going on in the world.
You love wearing scrubs.
 
You know that the Patron Saint of Dentists is St. Apollonia
 
You start describing people (especially to to other dental students) based on their dental profile: "you know that girl with the skeletal class III ?"...."The guy with the mesially tipped laterals?" "That dude with gingivitis"...

You can't kiss someone who admits to not flossing. In fact you can't even be their friend anymore -they disgust you.

You decide that your previously satisfactory teeth require orthodontics.

One of the highlights of your day is organizing your burr blocks. And it gives you a sensual rush when you find the complete set (seldom).

How true
 
You have troubling giving away all the free toothpaste, floss, and othe assorted goodies the dental companies give you.

I don't get enough of that stuff, perhaps it is being hoarded somewhere. Geez.

We havn't got **** yet here at Buffalo.
 
(...where n is large)

(n+1). You wouldn't be caught dead without a pack of xylitol-containing gum in your pocket
(n+2). You see someone eat too-hot pizza, burn their anterior palate, and tell them how lucky they are that it's keratinized stratified squamous epithelium in there
(n+3). Starting to study for a test a week or more in advance feels normal (this applies to grad students too)
(n+4). Sleep has become but a distant memory
(n+5). You feel like waxing up random objects for fun
(n+6). You know what the Pankey Institute is
(n+7). Getting another thousand bucks into debt is nothing
(n+8). Someone makes a funny face and your first thought is, "platysma!"
(n+9). A friend has a tooth extracted and you want to ask to have a look at the extraction site to gauge how well it's healing
(n+10). Family members start coming to you for advice about their dental and other heath issues

😀
 
Random Stranger walks up to you "aye aye , you think I need a cleaning"
 
You are so afraid of getting sick.
You run your fingers over your body.

coming home from the gross lab late at night, then seeing all these people on the street and thinking that there is rioting going on before realizing that its halloween and you should be drinking while dressed up as a giant tooth
 
You hand out your business card with every piece of candy during halloween.
 
Dental students got business cards?
You guys are good!
 
~You quit calling friends and relatives because you have nothing new in your life to talk about that doesn't involve studying or taking exams.

Not to mention, I think I'm losing friends from back home for exactly the same reason. I mean what can I say about myself other than the fact that I was at school for 40+ hours this week, and that what I do for fun is cleaning room, organizing files, doing laundry, cooking, checking email, planning, exercising, and socializing with friends... in a study group. :laugh: 😉 🙂 😀 🙄 😍
 
You use slaycris as lubrication to masturbate while fantasizing about how tight and smooth............





















your margins were on your most recent full gold crown.

You get engaged don't study at all while your new fiance' is in town and then when she leaves you have to spend every last minute making up for all the precious study time you missed so you don't call all your friends back home to share the big news until two weeks later. (Ok, so maybe this doesn't happen to everyone, but it describes my last couple of weeks)
 
You're friends won't ask you how your day was because they don't want to sit around and listen to you complain for 3 hours.
 
All that summarized in one nice post... wish I can do the same with all my class notes.

- Wearing regular clothes (other than scrubs) feels like your getting "dressed up"

- Your to tired to get drunk
 
You earn a "doctorate" for being little more than a mechanic.
