i aided my dentist in using the spit-sucker, but i don't know how to put that down in one of my secondary apps... so i just put down "provided basic chairside assistance" for now. would this be sufficient? or is there a better sounding term than "spit-sucking" hahahaha. i was going to ask my dentist that the next time i went in, but it won't be til next week :/

PrydA, do you know you have conflicting info on your signature and predents profile? On predents, you have a 26/25/24. On your sig, you have a 25/26/24. If you're gonna lie, learn how to lie. Make sure it's consistent.
