Clinic was great!

Today was a really great day in clinic! I saw my really good friend who was also my first patient last semester! My goal today was to get all 3 quads done on my patient and pass off my peer calculus removal PE. I feel like today was very productive! I finished 3 quads in 1 hour!!!! I was so excited! I had a great scale check and I feel more confident every day! I placed 2 sealants on Kierstin's patient and I performed a "scale check" on her patient! Today was very productive and I enjoyed it!

I had a goal to see a 1A in one appointment. Prior to the appointment I tried to get as much done as I possibly could. I had the treatment plan printed off and ready to sign, as well as the health history for the mom to sign. I set up my xray room first so that i could take him back right after I got his HHX done. Pt was really nice and very cooperative. I was able to get it finished in one appt and I didn't have any errors. I am starting to feel more confident!

My Clinical Experience!

I have been seeing patients in clinic for about 2 weeks and it has been a blast! I set a goal to get 2 PE's done today, I made sure that i practiced them before I passed them off and it went great! I saw a 1B today and did the entire left side of the mouth. Pt was very cooperative and gave me confidence that I was a good hygienist! I feel like I did a good job with my time management, I finished the whole side within 1 hour, which gives me confidence that I can finish a whole mouth in 3 hours soon!

The first clinic before the rest of the semester!

Today was our last clinic session before we start seeing patients! Monday is the day! I am very excited and I hope that I remember everything that I have to do! I am seeing a friend, so I don't know if that will make it easier or more stressful! Today we learned how to use the ultrasonic and the gracey scalers! I am so excited to be able to use the ultrasonic! I love it! :)
