This morning I saw 2 1Bs. My first patient was critiquing me the whole time so it made me super nervous to scale him. Ive never had a patient do that before so it was quite the experience. I havent given any injections yet this semester and am hoping that I will soon so I can pass of the PE!!!

Great Day!

This morning I finally saw a 1B!! haha and I was able to get alot done on him. I passed of my subgingival irrigation, and blood glucose, and took a full mouth!! My afternoon patient was a class 5 and super easy so it was a great day!!!

Lab day

It was so nice to have a lab this morning and not a patient!!! Im excited to be able to use medicaments on our patients now and to do subgingival irrigation. My patient this afternoon was bleeding like crazy to I irrigated with Perio gaurd.

Mockboards!!

So yesterday I called my patient to confirm her for today and her phone was disconnected! STRESS!!! I looked at her chart to see if she had put a different number on her health history than I had and the number was the same one. SO I called her emergency contact who spoke no english, so I had Mr. Soloman call the number and the lady said she had seen my patient today and would remind her later tonight about her appointment when she saw her. I still wasnt a 100% sure that she was going to come because I didn't talk to her and I wasnt sure if the lady we called would remind her of her appointment. Today, 8oclock rolls around and no patient. Finally she came at 8:20 and then after that all went pretty well. I ultrasoniced like crazy!!!! I missed two tiny spots which definitely could have done better but I will take that! Now I'm just waiting to see if I passed :s...

Great Day!

Today went really well. My morning pt was a class 5. She had an implant that was very tender with bone loss so Prof Hanson showed me how to place arestin. My afternoon pt was my class 3 from last week and her calculus on the lower anteriors were amazing!! There was so much of it and I loved using the ultrasonic on it.
