Finished my First Patient!!!

WaHoo!!!! We finished our first patient today in clinic.  I scaled 2 quads, polished and varnished.  It was funny because now that i scale right handed I was having a hard time seeing and reaching the upper left quad so I decided that if I just scaled it left handed it would be way easier... and it was!  The instructor and everyone in the pod joked with me and told me I should just use some cheek retracters and scale both sides at the same time.  This would be sweet if it was possible and save the patient half the time.  HAHA.  It felt so good to finally put our skills to the test, and to feel a sense of accomplishment!  I am also excited that I get to lay back next week and be the patient.  I really enjoyed clinic this semester and I'm kind of sad that its almost coming to an end.
