EmpressAngel Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Try looking up dental schools in your area. They're basically students who have finished the education part of their degree but still need to put in hands-on hours to graduate. There's always a licensed dentist supervising the work and it's usually cheaper than a private office. I know my sister's used them for her wisdom teeth when she didn't have insurance and has never had a problem from it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dentist forgot to shoot my mouth up with anesthetic before filling my cavities so I felt it every time the drill hit. Then she didn't even get to one and told me to come back to get it filled. So I'm now trying to find a new dentist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In October, an anime-con regular, who hosted game shows at several cons, announced his retirement after an alcoholic outburst (at his home) resulted in his arrest for beating a cat." Vic's behavior has been creepy for years, but there is definitely a deeper issue behind making cons a safer place, especially for younger fans, when convention culture means being in the same room as a handful of potential cat-beaters or Hazukari's. It certainly doesn't help that Vic's situation was the writing-on-the-wall that even the talent at an anime con can't be trusted to behave responsibly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or unless they diddle the underage/think about diddling the underage like Illich Guardiola and Scott Freeman. Or if you're Japanese, doing illegal drugs like Pierre Taki from Denki Groove.

Chapinator_X Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 The Denki Groove guy is the most depressing because they're axing him from all copies of the game for doing cocaine. Of course, drugs are far more severe in Japan, but there is definitely a stark difference between mangaka getting caught with CP or molestation charges and Pierre Taki getting caught with cocaine. The Viva Namida guy from Space Dandy also got caught with drugs, so there's hope Pierre won't get completely destroyed, but they're going so far as to changing him in the Western release. I mean, damn, SEGA. But as far as Vic goes, him being creepy at cons is mild enough where all he really needed to do was stop feeding the fire and let the next big news story overshadow the scandal. It doesn't vindicate him being creepy at cons, but it's a scandal that he would have easily bounced back from if he just disappeared from the spotlight for a month. There's scandals that lead VA's to live with the shame like Guardiola's underage marriage with a student or Freeman's CP, but Vic is renowned enough where being a creep would be a demerit unless something came out where he fully assaulted/raped someone.
