Your dad was my dentist when I moved to San Diego. I loved him...he'd sing all the time and was always so happy!
Awwww ❤️
Omg awwwww! I love this!
That is so cute!!
Omg so funny. That’s him all right 😂
That's so crazy! 🤣
When you said “are you just now learning what I do” to your dad, I actually laughed out loud 😂
Thank you for warning people about the dental corporate scams. I was a manager for twenty nine years in family dentistry. The office sold to a corporation and I resigned after six months. I just couldn’t believe how they tried to take advantage of patients that had no idea what was going on. So sad😢
Yes, but scammers are everywhere. Her dad was a dentist, she worked in his office so she knew she was being scammed. Similarly, I studied haircare and skin care (professionally). Needed to check something, but I was in a different city so I went to people I don't know and even before I coherently explained my problem fully, she scuffed roughly my scalp with her knuckles and told me that I also have dandruff so I should buy these products to clear it up. No, I don't have dandruff, never have.
The clips of your parents walking together made me emotional 😭 so sweet! I feel like when you are older it’s going to be so great to have all this footage of them ❤️ I lost my dad a few years ago and wish I had taken more pictures and videos
What a sweet comment ❤ i think you make a very good point about having more photos/videos of our loved ones. That’s gonna be a new goal of mine. Thank you 😊My parents have been divorced since I was very young and they never remarried - so it’s kinda sad that i have never really seen either of them in love or as a couple. As they’re getting older, it’s something that makes me sad for them. But they swear they each love their freedom and single life. Sorry- i went off on a tangent there😂
Agree. Love that shot of them walking. My daughter gave me Storyworth for Christmas to tell my life's story. I am SO happy I have a multitude of photo albums and tons of envelopes full of pictures so I can add photos to my story. My parents are deceased as is my younger brother. These pictures have brought me joy and also tears! Most people only have cell phone pictures now and how many have been lost?? I have Shutterfly print most of mine so I can add them to a huge album I've started. My adult children and grandchildren will be happy I did that when I'm gone and they're grandparents and parents!
I’m sad I dont have any footage of my parents :’(
When I decided to emigrate I had my mom and my nonna write me all their recipes of the everyday dishes as well as their holiday traditional ones and it makes me so emotional when I see them written in their handwriting! And it’s so nice being able to get the “taste of your childhood”.
Okay have to jump on the chain dentistry topic - I hadn’t been to a dentist in 10 years (please be kind) so I found a local place NOT knowing that this was a thing. They told me I had SEVEN cavities and I felt pretty devastated. I was on maternity leave at the time and I couldn’t afford the fillings and they talked to me like I was literally going to be dead if I didn’t get this done in a week. Barely cleaned my teeth and told me they could see kids but then refused to treat my 5 year old. Fast forward 3 years later I finally got the courage to go to another dentist (a practice owned by two female dentists) and explained my anxiety. They were so kind to me and gave me a serious cleaning and guess what - no cavities. I was floored. I had two concern spots and now a year later after my 3rd cleaning with them the spots are good now 😊 I just am so glad I didn’t have the means to get my “cavities” taken care of.
I did the same thing! Except I just caved and got the 7 "cavities" filled.... and now I don't know if I even needed to...
Aspen Dental did the same thing to me, talking like I would lose all of my teeth if I didn't follow their recommendations. Found a good, independent local dentist and I only had one cavity!
As a Dental Hygienist who HATES corporate dentistry- THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING UP! The majority of us hate chain dentistry and the money grabbing they stand for. I will always love private practice more than chain dentistry, and especially for patients to start noticing the change in their care, SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE!!
I'm a dental hygienist and everything you said about private practice vs corporate (chains) is correct. Sometimes you get lucky with a corporate office but they typically have quotas they need to make. It's so hard for dentists to own private practice due to student loans and lack of good insurance reimbursement. It's sad for the dental world. I worked dentistry for 5 years and finally left to be a registered nurse. I was tired of treatment planning patients based on what insurance covers, always trying to sell something, and not doing what's best for the patients. My best recommendation is to find a dental office based off of recommendations from people you know.
Our past dentist left her practice to go work at a prison because she wants to retire and the prison gives her the best benefits. Someone else took over and she was amazing but she was in the military and had to leave for duty than they got a temporary doctor and he was the worse, treated my 6 year old son poorly and kept flirting with the older ladies (he was old) and I knew it was red flag especially when we are waiting 20 mins over our appointment time. We changed dental and it’s better we are happy. They are now closed.
Former dental assistant here. Stay away from the chains! It might seem like smaller private practices charge more but they will not try to swindle you like chains do. You will get quality work done.
Saw you at the candlelight concert. Thank you so much for recommending it! It was a great show (HZ). Funny story - my husband was looking at you while asking me out loud “Why do I know that girl, she seems so familiar” I turned and saw you and said. That’s the UA-camr that recommended the concert. You know, the badass that had acne but showed her skin on camera for foundation reviews, went on accutane, The brush collection, nomad from San Diego” Lol. Then a subscriber walked up and said “I’ve been watching you since accutane days” We laughed and had an unsaid realization that you’ve basically been in the background of our lives for a very long time. Thanks again I love your show dude!
Aww you should've said hi! Would've loved to have met you!!
Oof the moment you started talking about the dentist, I thought to myself "let me guess, you suddenly have a mouth full of cavities and need $1200 worth of work." Same thing happened to me at 2 different places before I found one I could trust. I learned it's better to pay up for the cleaning/exam and have a dentist that isn't incentivized to make up reasons for more invasive procedures.
DUDE! When I first graduated college, I moved across the country and was on my own for the first time. So I needed to find a dentist. Well, 22 year old me didn't know you couldn't just trust all dentists. I went to this chain dentist place that looked super nice, etc. I go in for a CLEANING and a check up. This dentist goes "oh you have a cavity lets get that taken care of right now" and again, not knowing any better, and still in the chair with my mouth propped open I was like um ok. Well this dude starts drilling...and drilling...and drilling and I am like JFC THIS HURTS PLEASE STOP. He is like "hmm that's weird..." then 5 minutes later "oh well it's because I hit the root, you are going to need a root canal instead" mind you...I WAS THERE FOR A CLEANING! I was so stressed and so upset but at this point I was in so much pain and most of my tooth was missing. It took this dentist nearly SIX HOURS to do one root canal. It never healed, because it wasn't done properly. I got a new, amazing dentist(similar to your dad, small office, family run, same staff for 30+ years, amazing) and he was like uhhh this is a hack job and he tried to fix it but that failed too, and ultimately I had to have the entire thing pulled and an implant installed. All said and done that one tooth that never needed a root canal in the first place cost me 10k dollars.
Vet your dentists guys, it's not worth it to see a mediocore one, it won't save you any money I promise.
OMG!!!! This is why I am so scared of dentists...I had something very similar happen to me and omg...
😮
WTF?!
Sooo sorry this happened to you, how awful! 😩
Same girl. Same. I hate the dentist.
You’re 100% on the nose about Dental practices. My dad is also a Dentist and has owned his own small practice for over 30 years. He is getting ready to retire but is taking forever because he wants to sell his practice to an honorable dentist instead of selling it to a corporation.
I went to a “concierge” IV fluids for migraine. I have healthcare but I didn’t want to wait in the ER. I sat on a beautiful chaise lounge, had herbal tea and meditation music. I read a book on my phone. You’re right though, you have to do your research. Two nurses own the practice. I am definitely going to go back.
I went to Aspen Dental in my early 20s because I had no insurance. They said I had many cavities, forced me to get a scaling before they would fill any teeth (& I had one that I definitely needed filled) , and they pressured me into an expensive toothbrush. They filled my wisdom teeth! My current dentist was like, wtf? I wish I knew not to trust them, but I was desperate. They were extremely unprofessional, too.
I had cracked a tooth. My overall total for work to be done was $12K. Had the tooth removed and some other work. Once I pay off the $4k, I'm done with them.
@@squeak3rzthesquigglysquid688, I am so sorry. I had to get Care Credit and pay off nearly $3000. They are awful.
I had a super similar experience at Aspen as a kid. They gave me fillings in every single molar, top and bottom, by the time I was 12. I am 150% convinced that I didn't need them, and now I am paying for it as an adult with bad teeth. They also performed an impacted wisdom teeth removal surgery with only novocaine... I felt the whole thing. And that's where dental anxiety comes from lol
@@Sarah-dr6vz that is awful. I hope one day they are sued- if they haven’t been.
I went to an Aspen dental a few years ago for a gum issue, because I was in pain and couldn't get in to see my regular dentist right away. They forced me to do x-rays, then the "dentist" came in and told me that I had three or four (can't remember) cavities that she could see on the x-ray. I said "Thanks but I'm here for my gum issue and I'll take this up with my regular dentist". Of course, when I made it to my regular dentist for a clean, no cavities. I found it deeply disturbing that a "dentist" was willing to do unnecessary dental work on my healthy teeth.
Your dad still cracks me up every time 😂and Parker is so cute 🐶❤️I love all the clips of him
OMG, the dad + daughter banter is LEGENDARY.
You and your Pop's shooting the s*** while eating the crumble cookies 🍪was perfection...lmao!!
I too had a bad experience at a “chain”. I actually walked out with one less tooth as they convinced me I needed one pulled 😢. Never again!!!
Ugh yes the dental scams are real I was just talking to my sister about that I went to a new dentist after moving and all the sudden they’re telling me I need thousands of dollars of work done when the last dentist said my teeth looked great. It has only been 6 months I was like ya theres no way that true lol
That’s terrible! People need to talk about it more.
Notification squad! 🖤🌯
Taylor, you have such amazing role models in your parents. They are a beautiful example of what a marriage should look like. It's no wonder that you grew into such a self-aware, kind, happy, lovely young woman. Edit: I had the ABSOLUTE WORST experience with one of those awful chain dentist offices. They pulled a baby tooth and didn't even tell me they were going to do it ahead of time! They claimed they had to because the "root was dead" on my Xray. What root??? It was a permanent baby tooth? Don't go to these places, it's not worth it at all.
💯
When your dad asked about cutting out his shit during the crumbl part, I almost died laughing. He’s so funny and I love your vlogs with the fam. ❤
I’m a dental hygienist who is an only child and I’ve been watching you forever! I worked at a chain like that for about a year and a half and LUCKILY I’m an experienced hygienist who is confident about my skills and I’m not about to swindle people like it was expected of me! I kept my part-time private dentist job the whole time, working 6 days/week most of the time. I’m so glad to only be working at the private, small office now.
Yes!! I've definitely had similar experiences at dentists and regular doctors, as well. It's disgusting, and of course that's what happens when medical care is a for-profit industry. It's so sad and infuriating. 😩
my jaw is on the floor i had the EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE at a dentist recently. i was sus and went to a different office and there was absolutely no issues with my teeth. thank you for calling that out because i feel like a lot of people might just fall for it.
Just listened to a pod cast about dental fraud on “The Opportunist”. It’s so hard to be sure bc we really can’t know what’s going on unless we get multiple opinions.
Was just talking with my mother in law about how finding a great dentist you can trust with a friendly thorough hygienist is so important. I love my dentist's office!!
Same talk for optometry!! Do NOT settle for virtual eye exams and some scammy chain! Take care of your eyes teeth and feet!
Jewelry tour? Always on the hunt for good / life-proof jewelry😊
I’m going to miss your parents in the vlogs. I have dad envy. He’s the cutest ❤
@8:32 those shots of Parker 🥺 so precious also I love seeing what you and Jessica like to get from thrive market lol
I’m so glad I have a good dentist. I had to get a crown and a root canal yesterday and I’m not kidding it was an awesome experience and she literally text me this morning to make sure I was ok. It’s this little dental shop in a cute little neighborhood. Definitely not a chain.
The same thing goes for mechanics. We'd be told about ALL kinds of problems when we only wanted an oil change. They'd go through their spiel, then my mom would say, "Let me check with my son, he's a mechanic." The looks on their faces. lol!
OMG yes 😢 I did a cleaning in a chain office while traveling and they “found” 7 cavities and wanted to start on the same day. When I came back to my dentist panicking, they checked and my teeth were perfectly fine.
My family has been going to the same family dentist since 1985. Thankfully, his son is taking over the practice since he has now retired. The family dynamics and ethics passed down from father to son is so important. Mom still does teeth cleaning part-time so I really appreciated that family vibe. My dad lived in Chula Vista for many years. Loved visiting San Diego.
My husband has had that ring for a couple years now. And every morning for the past couple of years when I tell him how I slept, he tells me a sleep and readiness score 🙄 haha
It has many nicknames including the ring of Sauron, because it basically runs his life.
You're so much more relaxed compared to years ago. Prior to you starting to travel when you never gave yourself time to relax and it was work work work...its great to see you smile.
You have no idea how much your dental talk made me so happy!! I’ve been a dental assistant for 12 years now and have seen the commercial dental offices start to take over the last few years. I’ve only ever worked in a private practice, thank goodness because I have morals and could not work in a place that will work on perfectly healthy teeth just for money/production. I have had 100’s of pt come find places like us after being at those places. SCAMMERS!!
Yeah you are so right with the Dentist scamming, I experienced that with doctors in general. The health care in US needs a lot of improvement to say the least.
To say *the least* for sure
I’m so glad you’re sharing this 🦷 story Seeing everyone else’s dental situations is unreal! Ever since my mom found out about these problems (years of being scammed herself) she’s been the spokesperson for this issue lol! I watched Danielle’s vlog also & thought to myself “she should get a second opinion”. It’s so crazy/sad how easily people can take advantage of others. Glad there are still some good dentists like your dad out there for now!!
In regards to your traffic pet peeve: When I let someone in my lane I always just tell myself they waved and I just didn’t see it, then always say you’re welcome out loud😅💜
Never been so early before :D
Edit: i don't mind if you do a couple of sponsored videos in a row if that is easier/less stressful (or something like that). You have so much integrety i my mind already i doubt anyone would mind :) We know you only promote stuff you like
Thanks for another fun, informative video, Taylor. Love your dad and you together--so cute. I had a similiar experience at a dental office in Bellevue, WA when I was visiting up there. Was told if I didn't get certain dental work done pronto, it could lead to poor sleep, heart attack, and all these other medical issues...I almost laughed out loud. Back home I checked in with my dentist who said my teeth and gums in great shape. Safe travels to you (even though you're already in Sedona!)
The oura ring is for overall health, not a fitness tracker, its actually tells you to slow down and take it easy. I love it!
Do you have the oura ring? I’d love to hear your thoughts on it because I’m seriously contemplating it rn
So how have I never thought to order a crunch wrap with beans instead of meat?! That sounds delicious!!!
I had the same issue with a dentist with my son. I was told he had a cavity but it would cost $700 to fill…went to another dentist who filled it for $70. Also, it’s a HUGE pet peeve of mine when I let someone go in traffic and they can’t bother to give a wave of thanks! Enjoy your next journey!
My dentist as a child used me for Medicaid fraud(along with most kids in my town). Every tooth in my head was drilled, and if I asked him to stop because it hurt I was told to “shut up” and held down. I have such severe dental trauma that I only go to a dentist if it’s worst case scenario and I can’t stand the pain anymore. I can’t even take my kids to the doctor without having a panic attack, my husband has to do it. I’m glad your dad is one of the good ones, and I’m glad you are speaking up about dental scams. Thank you.
Catching up on old vlogs and had to pause… the Parker solo content followed by the only child’s blanket being used as a rag 😩😩😩 I’m obsessed and dying. Luv y’a!!!!
Taylor, I have been watching you since 2017 and I can't describe how inspiring your vids are to me! We're both the same age and born in the same month! I hope I have a marriage like the one your parents have one day. A sit down vid asking your parents for marriage/relationship advice would be a good idea for a vid! Much love XOXO
The exact same thing happened to my son. He moved 5 years ago to Atlanta but, still used a dentist here in Mississippi. He couldn't get home for a while so decided to get his 6 months cleaning at a local clinic in Atlanta. Which also was a type of clinic where they have multiple offices. They did x-rays first. Even though he didn't need them. Then tell him he has 5 cavities. He knew he didn't. He left before they even cleaned his teeth. They were scamming him saying it was going to be over $1000 and trying to get him to get a credit account. No telling how many fall for it.
Sinful they should go to jail
I hope you write an anonymous review somewhere about that exact dentist so people know not to go there cuz that’s scary! Thanks for sharing!
Loved the long vlog. Lots of good content. Can’t wait to see what’s next ❤
Would LOVE to see pics of you with your natural hair color!
I just love your vlogs so much
Im really blessed that one of my friends’ husbands is my dentist. He’s totally different in the office and very focused and thorough. My dad was a detective and I have dark humor. I commented while he was studying my x-rays that if something happened to me, the police would be set. He was a little shook, but then I reminded him and he laughed. I would think those chain-type places would be like my pediatric dentist and try to find any way to make n “upsale.”. I like being a patient, not a dollar sign.
Sooo idk if anyone else feels the same but I would definitely love some educational pointers from your dad regarding dentistry. I have little experience with dentist or anything related to it because I come from a low income family and lack of insurance. Like I feel like my level of knowledge on dental hygiene and seeing a dentist is so low. It would feel nice to get this info from someone who is trustworthy and not trying to money grab…
My day just got instantly better! Taylor video 🙌
Seriously, you’re parents are so precious! ❤
As a European the size of the small drink was just shocking 😂
She sized up to medium, but it still looked huge! Lol 😲😂
Love your longer vlogs!
Ya know I gotta say thank you for all the work you put into your videos, everything is on point to the esthetic to the type on content. I truly could see you as a friend irl. You are my #1 favorite content creator here on UA-cam and I appreciate you!
Oh man, I've been a hygienist for 13 years and have actually practiced in Boston for the entirety of my career so far. Corporate dentistry is absolutely ruining the field imo. I've recently moved into the insurance claims field for a bit of break on my body, but my previous doctor was so awesome. Very small private practice in Back bay, it was owned by his father before him and it seems like it would have fit the vibe that your dad's office was. Also any office offering a super discounted intro appointment special is making up that money somehow, imo.
So obviously if you ever end back in Boston and need a dentist, I have a recommendation for you :P
But thank you for talking about this!
Yesss 🙌🏻🙌🏻 This video and the last one to watch while im on the treadmill is perfect!!!
Hi, Taylor!! I hope you're doing wonderful!! I absolutely love and adore you!! Your Dad and Mom are so precious together!! Parker is the cutest too!! I hope you're enjoying your stay in Arizona. Take care, Taylor! ❤️
Hahaha that little exchange with your dad about you cutting out his shit and you asking if he’s just now realizing what you do had me weak! 😂😂😂
Excited to see where all of your travels take you!! Always enjoy your content!! I do hope your health has been good!! Blessings to you, Taylor!!!✌🏼💚🙏🏼
You’re dad is thee best lol you’re parents are just great! 😍😍 you are so blessed Taylor!
Side note…I used to live in San Diego when I was a teen and watching your San Diego vlogs takes me back…I miss it soooo much!
It’s so cute how your mom and dad speak the same way. Like the same tone and cadence.
Not surprising to see your parents have kept baby blankets and probably other things too after all these years how sweet! That’s totally a major perk of being an only child. There’s four of us in my fam - my two brothers and my sister. My parents hardly kept anything like that 😅
keep is a strong word lol, he's cutting it up to use as a rag 😅😅
@@taylorwynn 😂😂
I love your vlogs.
I love your videos. You have inspired me to travel! 🥰🥰
I’ve had the gold Oura ring for a year now. I swam with it all summer last year, shower, wash my hands etc and it has never changed color! It does scratch pretty easily so the side on the inside of my hand looks worn, but the top flat part still looks new! ❤️
Did you find its worth it?
@@deidref96 it definitely depends on what you’re looking for in a tracker. I had the Apple Watch for 5 years before the Oura and I really didn’t like getting notifications all day, it doesn’t stay charged for more than a day so I couldn’t sleep in it or track my sleep. I will say the Oura ring doesn’t track workouts as well as the Apple Watch and is more focused on overall health and sleep. It still counts steps and daily calories burned etc. I personally love it. It’s so easy to wear and looks a lot better than most other trackers!
Also, if you lift weights a lot it is annoying to wear while doing that, but you can manually enter workouts if that’s not a big deal to you!
IMO it’s very different from a Apple Watch, garmin or Fitbit but it has been my favorite for overall/daily health and wellness!
@@EmilyHansen6 ahh, thanks good to know! I personally got an Apple Watch maybe a year and a half ago and use it to track sleep, health & exercise. I personally don’t have a battery longevity issue at all, so maybe this will be something to consider before I update the watch in the next few years.
I’ve never had an honest dental experience. It’s usually traumatic, painful, cold and beyond expensive. One will tell me my mouth is filled with cavities and the next will say something totally different. I’ve been given crowns for no reason and had teeth worked on while I feel everything and they say I’m crazy. Ugh, I could write a book about how bad my experiences have been. I go to dental schools now, that’s the best and most honest work I’ve had done. Glad to know, it’s not just me and others have experience this.
Here to weigh in on dentistry as one does 😅 I’m an RN, I used to do wellness visits with 65+ patients and the amount of times I tell you that ASPEN DENTAL told these poor people (often literally poor, and Medicare has no coverage for dentists so they went to where they hoped they could afford care) that they needed *ALL* of their teeth removed and to get full dentures, it was nuts. As soon as someone mentioned Aspen I knew where the story was headed. Luckily the people who could afford it went elsewhere and usually found out they needed some work but nothing like removing every freaking tooth. Oh AND I heard so many times that patients got the dentures and they couldn’t wear them because the fit was so poor (and Aspen wouldn’t make it right) my running joke was that Aspen only makes one model of dentures they just sell to everyone. I warned all my patients about them, please be aware of their practices for yourselves and loved ones! Your dads patients were definitely lucky! 🖤
Your vlogs are my favorite! And so true about scammy dental practices (and medical practices in general); I’ve learned that if you’re ever unsure of something, 1000% don’t hesitate to get a second opinion!
I’ve been going to the same dentist since I was 18, I’m now 45! I’ll be crying the day he retires!!! It’s definitely not a commercial dentist and that’s why I love it there!!!
I love your San Diego vlogs so much!!! Your dad is the cutest ❤
I got my oura ring about a month ago and I seriously love it. I don't depend on it for my workouts (even taking it off when I lift), but I love all the information every day and I feel like its enhanced my understanding of how I feel each day. Hope you end up loving it too!
I'm a dental assistant of 10 years and everything you said about corporate dental offices is 100% true. And they are trying to take over basically. I work in an office that does an advanced education in general dentistry resident program and helps these residents get jobs after the program all over the country. There are a lot of older dentists in our area that are retiring. We are buying these practices and placing the dentists graduating from our residency that want to stay in the area, in those offices to eliminate corporate dentistry in our area. ❤
Very much enjoyed this vlog 🎉 I’ve been wanting an Oura ring for several years now and never went for it. I’ll definitely be listening out on your feedback.
Fabulous vlog just love your family and doggie too xx
Sending you (and your family) so much love.
xoxo
💗💗💗💗
Crunchwrap Supreme is my favorite & yes, ur parents walking was so adorable. They’re the type of marriage everyone wants right? 💗 Safe travels ✈️
Your parents must have loved having you back at home. Thanks to your mom for the recipe. It is always nice to see, and here your Dad.
Safe travels
The truffles look so good!!!
I've never been this early, your make up looks so good today ✨️
just wanted to say i love that you still partner with thrive, i discovered them through you years ago and i was at a point where i applied for the thrive gives program and was able to use it for groceries during a time where it was an amazing option for me; it feels good to see them still do good even though i am past that point in life and i hope it can help someone else in the same way it helped me!
I love ur mom and dad 🥰
Her smile is sooo beautiful
I'm totally gonna try the orange cinnamon rolls now! I've been so scared to but I love anything you reccomend
I LOVE my Oura ring- especially as someone who weightlifts and doesn’t realize days when I need to focus on recovery and go lighter.
It truly isn’t great at tracking workouts (besides regular walking), I find it’s best to use in tandem with an apple watch/fitness tracker. They sync together pretty seamlessly.
I bought the purple hot tools brush thingy that you have and Im so excited to use it!
I love your travel blogs the most but I sure will miss seeing your parents. They are so funny and sweet. You’re a lucky girl. ❤
I love your San Diego vlogs cuz your parents are so cute. I'm so glad you mentioned the Kentucky Buttercream on Instagram cuz now that's my favorite Crumbl flavor!
I have never been to that type of dentist thank god! Mine is a family owned dentist. The father and 2 sons. Sons are in their 40’d now and the father is mostly retired. He comes in for extractions only. They are amazing and have all the best dad jokes. I was in the billing office chatting with the lady who does billing one day. The dad had just extracted someone’s tooth and was so excited because the roots were curly. He was going around showing it to everyone because all the curled roots came out fully intact. While trying to show the billing lady it slipped out of his fingers and landed on the table in front of me. The look on his face was hilarious! I laughed so hard I almost peed. I know everyone by name and they know me too. So grateful for my experiences!
Edit to say that I didn’t know your dad was a dentist. Now that I know… it totally makes sense! He is just like my dentists dad. 😆
I’m soooo glad you said something about the dental corporations and then reading the comments on this 👀👀 honestly I had zero clue this happens! my mom brought me to the same dentist that she went to and thankfully he was a good guy and we never had issues. Definitely will look into my next dentist throughly! Thanks Taylor! ❤
Enjoying this while I cook dinner for the first time after my ACL surgery a couple weeks ago. Standing is hard 😂 you shared my Instagram story about watching while doing my rehab PT the other day!
I had an experience like that at the dentist also. Long story short, went to a new dentist and he told me I had 11 cavities!? Didn’t feel great, went to another place and they told me no cavaties. So be careful!
I went to a smaller, privately owned dentist office for years then decided to switch to a closer "chain" office after I moved (Smilebuilderz) and never again!! They gave me a filling that wound up giving me discomfort for weeks after. I went back to get it repaired and it was still uncomfortable. Eventually I wound up going back to the old dentist I trusted to get her perspective, and she said that the material that they used on my filling didn't make any sense for the location of the tooth, and that it was likely they just used that because it's more expensive. I got her to fix it, immediately felt better, and now I'm willing to drive further just to keep going back to her!
Yay was looking for a new vlog with my snack
Oh my gosh!! My dad is also a small private practice dentist! And I also used to work for him!
I just love your vlogs! Also thank you for the dentist chat, I went to an aspen dental once and it was so horrible. They told me I had 7 cavities and needed a root canal. They were so so rude and I think they really just wanted all my money after hearing you talk! Thank goodness I didn’t go back!
