My Class 3 Patient!

Wow...I don't think I really understood the amount of calculus that a person could accumulate in their mouth..until I saw my class 3 patient. I have yet to see a more intense patient. I had so much fun doing this, but it was also such a great learning experience. I used my swivel ultrabend ultrasonic and it removed a lot of calculus, but then I went in with my slim tip and I got even more off! It was such a great experience and I learned a lot. 

Just another day in clinic...

Today was a great day in clinic! I saw a good friend who was a classification of 1B, so generally healthy! I made a goal that I wasn't going to need any re-takes, I was going to pace myself and not rush. I was able to get 4BW conventional done with no retakes! Then I had the opportunity to scale her entire mouth without having one scale check in between, (Instructors were really busy) and I finished her in 1 hour and I didn't miss any spots! I also had time to do the diagnodent PE as well :) I feel like it was a very productive day! 

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!

Today was the first day that I have had a cancelation last minute! My 8:00 am patient canceled at 7:00 this morning! Good thing my husband was able to come in to get finished up! I knew I was saving him for a good reason. :-) He is a class 1B and today we did 2 quads. I finished him in 30 minutes...which left me with a lot of extra time to catch up on blogging and helping others in clinic get done and cleaned up. I learned that I am getting faster at class 1B patients, and I wish I would have known I was going to see my husband today because I would have scheduled a child to come in after! But, everyone has had cancelations, and today it was my turn I guess :) It was still a great day!
