Kids Kids Kids...

Needless to say my 8:00 a.m. patient was a no show..surprise surprise... 

Luckily there was a family that showed up that thought they had an appointment for their 2 kids but they weren't on the schedule! So I was able to see one of the children. This afternoon I saw 2 kids as well...

I love kids, adore them. Working on them isn't my favorite thing to do though :-) 

I was able to get a lot done today. My last sealant experience was completed today as well! 

Wahoo! It was a very productive day!

Ooopss!!!

Today was a long day! I had my 8:00 a.m. patient cancel at the last minute last night, and I was scrambling to find a pt to fill my chair this morning! I sent our office work study employee named Oliver an email asking him if he would come in this morning, never heard from him! SO my dear friend McKinlei gave me a patient who was excited to get in and came right at 8:00...well then Oliver shows up at 8:10 and he had just ran here really fast! So, I have 2 patients at the same time. Luckily our office manager said he could clock in and help out until I am ready for him. Needless to say I was able to get bite wings and full mouth cleanings on both patients! It was a LONG morning! :-)

Periodontal Files

Today was a pretty fun day in clinic! I was able to see a new patient and finish up another patient. Both of them were mild perio and had some tenacious calculus. I was able to get through the first patient pretty easy and didn't miss much of anything. But in the afternoon my patient had a piece of calculus that was stuck on the distal of the pre-molar #21! My instructor actually sat down with me and helped me get it off. My new favorite tools are the periodontal files, those things rock!!
