Difficult patient and difficult day...

Today in clinic was a good day as well as a hard day! My patient has some mental and physical disabilities. I wanted to be patient and get her cleaned up really well. I did her whole right side and i missed only 2 spots, it was mostly de-plaquing anyway, which was hard too because I don't want to just scrape plaque all day. I was able to get good oral hygiene instructions and I feel like she is really trying. I am thankful for these experiences because it helps me become a better clinician.
