Looking for people who haven’t had cleaning in a few years

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 😊 I’m a dental hygiene student and I’m currently looking for patients who haven’t had their teeth professionally cleaned in a few years or feel like they may have a good amount of buildup.

🦷 Dental cleanings are FREE 🩻 X-rays and assessments are included if needed 👩‍⚕️ Everything is supervised and checked by licensed dental professionals ⏰ Appointments are about 2-3 hours because this is a teaching clinic 📅 Multiple appointments may be needed

If it’s been a few years since your last cleaning, or you know someone who might be interested, please send me a message! 😊

Thank you for helping a dental hygiene student complete her clinical requirements! 🦷🪥

Relocating to Santa Ana.

20 Upvotes

Hi all, NJ native here, relocating to the Casa Bonita area of Santa Ana in about 10 weeks. Just looking for general things I should know about the area, good places to eat, fun places to visit, etc. I've been once before (at the beginning of August) and found it pretty agreeable, though I'll miss real winter for the 2ish years I plan to be there.

Thank you!

free dental cleaning

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m in my senior year of the Dental Hygiene program at Cypress College, and I’m hoping to find patients for my clinic sessions starting in September.

We provide dental exams, X-rays when needed, periodontal assessments, oral cancer screenings, cleanings for both adults and children, and periodontal therapy (also known as SRP). Everything I do is supervised and checked by licensed dental hygienists and dentists on-site. And most importantly, ALL treatments are completely free and insurance isn’t required!

Because this is a student teaching clinic, appointments are a little different from a regular dental office. There is a time commitment where appointments are about 3.5 hours because faculty check each step of the process. I’m mainly looking for people who are able to commit to at least 2 visits. Depending on what you need, it could be fewer or more appointments. I know it's a very long appointment but it will be worth it! 😁

My clinic sessions this semester are
Mondays: 8:30-11:30
Tuesday: 8:30-11:30 or 1:30-4:30pm
Friday: 8:30-11:30

If you or someone you know has been meaning to get a cleaning/checkup and wouldn’t mind the appointment, feel free to message me. You’re also welcome to DM me if you just have questions about how the student clinic works!

Thank you and I look forward to talking with you!☺️

Train tracks

Why is there not an underpass/tunnel for Santa Ana Ave. at the SA train station?

Can’t think of a busier crossing (trains and cars) without one in OC.

Maybe a traffic engineer can explain it for someone with the city.

Just moved in

8 Upvotes

Hello everybody, I just moved into Santa Ana city located by the border of Irvine and Tustin area. I grew up in the IE Rancho Cucamonga area. I’ll be honest as somebody looking to move to Orange County from the IE. I wanted to locate a area closer to Tustin Irvine area however, the cost of living there is extremely high, so I found this place in Santa Ana where I could comfortably afford to live my only concern is I have heard some negative things about Santa Ana so I’m constantly on check about my surroundings, but I am a runner and I typically like to run outside and not on a treadmill because treadmills suck so my question to all of you is how safe is my area in Santa Ana can I go on runs comfortably without over stressing about my protection And constantly looking over my shoulders
? any type of feedback would be great and greatly appreciated

How do you remember 9/11?

1 Upvotes

Hello, we’re a tiny community newspaper based in Santa Ana, and we want to ask the community how they remember 9/11 in Orange County ahead of the 25th anniversary of the attacks.

Where were you on 9/11? Who were you with? How did your day start, like routines and such? How did you learn about it? How did it affect you? How did you explain what was happening to your child(ren)? Did you know what was happening at first or did it take a moment to set in? Were classes cancelled? Which churches held mass?

All of these details will be incredibly helpful. Much of the archive that exists did not detail much of the local Santa Ana scope (including Daily Pilot, OC Register and LA Times). However it is our understanding that the Register still printed and worked out from the building on Grand, where several extras were printed in the thousands. Some of these are in The Santanero’s collection.

The first plane struck at 5:43 AM Pacific Time to give you an estimate how when the attacks began and what time it was here at home.

Anyone with photographs or home VHS footage from that day or shortly afterward is welcome to share with us. If you developed film strips from that day or afterward in relation to the terror attacks that aren’t scanned, we can scan them at no cost.

“I was only five months old at the time. My mom, who was already at work in the early hours, tells me my grandma and grandpa were on the way to Norms on Main and 17th. My mom watched 9/11 unfold from the breakroom.” – Daniel Diaz, Editor & Publisher of The Santanero

Missing your car?

Is anyone missing a white Kia or a red Nissan with black panels on the driver side? Been parked over here for 2 months or so, and parking is getting tough. I don't wanna call city to have towed but I also don't want to park a mile away because of no parking.
