Kanang, naglibog ko sa mga words imung gegamit into a sentence. Sorry as in nag libog gyud ko sa imung question. Anyway, ako nalang e try ug tubag ug sabot imung question. The "paste" we use after cleaning is actually "prophy paste." It is thesame as toothpaste but with powder or murag sand which somehow cleans up and removes debris and plaques on your smooth surface areas when used with a rotary brush.
It is NOT advisable sad to USE it daily because that would somehow cause TOOTH ABRASION which somehow thins out your ENAMEL thereby later on makes your teeth much more sensitive than before.
NOTE: As with the home made whitening, use it once a week only or once every 2 weeks. Dili maayo e EVERYDAY!

I really don't know why like that nga murag in a way discrimination but then again, ni school mi (dentist's), nag clinic duty sad mi and ni pasar sad mi board exam and that's it. Doctors sad jud mi and if we wanna specialize like orthodontics, mu skwela sad mi ana. The only difference is mas concentrate mi sa HEAD AND NECK AREA specifically sa ORAL CAVITY while they know everything from top to bottom with additional schooling depending on the specialty they wanna get into.
I guess for those who don't consider us dentists as DOCTORS, I guess they have a problem with what dentists earn or insecure lang sila sa ilang self. Either way, that is a bad thing. Ngano manghilabot man ka ug lain na tao or lain na profession without any valid reason to? Di ba? And besides, we treat, they treat, patas ra man. Lahi lahi lang ug scope sa service.
Pero mind you and FYI, mas grabeh ka mahal or dako ug gasto ang DENTIST. A dental chair could cost PHP 40k +, plus the hand instruments used, plus autoclaving machine to sterilize instruments used on patients, etc. Mga cguro if mag tukod kag own clinic, if you do not own the place, mag invest gyud kag PHP 1 million more or less. While ang Medical Doctor is only a stethoscope or plus ang stuff or instruments they need for their specialty. But more or less if general practitioner ra, stethoscope ra and sphygmomanometer. Hheheh
do you consider yourself as a "Doctor"? and why?
Yes, because I treat people and alleviate their symptoms according to the knowledge I have with Dentistry.
do you get high sometimes using your N2O?
Hehhehe gosh! We do not have Nitrous oxide here in our clinic. But if I'm gonna put up my own clinic, I guess I will have one of those! ehhehe
