brush those teeth

Today in clinic I saw two kids. It was a little crazy but I was able to finish them both.  I struggle when it comes to baby teeth and I thought my first kid had 8&9 when really they were his huge baby teeth. It was pretty funny.  I was really just glad to make it through the day because my patient I was going ro see today canciled on me this morning so I was freaking out trying to find someone.  It ended up still being a good day though.

Good Day!!!

Today at clinic I saw my peer pale.  It was awesome, she helped me and was such a great and easy patient.  I was able to get done od and 3 quads, first time ever! I thought today was a great day thanks to my peer pale!

Finished my dad today!

Today in clinic was a little nerve racking.... my instructor stood over me while I was scaling almost the whole time.  I really liked all her good advice but it also made me nervous.   I really enjoy clinic and I'm glad I was able to finish my dad today, I really didn't want him to have to come back a third time!  Well I hope everyone is studying hard for our tests this week..... Good luck everyone and see ya all tomorrow! :)

OH ya... 2 quads in the first appt!

Today was a good day in clinic... I was really nervous because I hadn't met my patient but from the time he sat in the chair everything went really well!  We did 4 bwx, OD, and scaled 2 quads.  He was such a great patient! I need more like him!  I hope everyone had a great day and experence with patients. See ya all tomorrow!

Clinic day

Today was a lot of fun in clinic... a lot better than monday.  I saw my sister-in-law for the second time and I was able to finish her, plus take a fmx.  It was awesome, and she was such a good patient.  I also was grateful for all the help from Professor Costley and from the CA's.  Thanks!!! Well study hard everyone and see you all tomorrow

1st day back with a patient

I saw my dad today in clinic.  I took 4bwx, a pano and got done with everything but scaling... I was sad that I didn't get to scaling because I was ready to go on but I had to wait 45min for the OD check.  I understand that the instructors are really busy and I really do feel bad for them but I was frustrated too. Oh well though it was a learning day and I got the xrays done.  Have a good day everyone!

Back to Clinic

This is like home away from home.... I missed clinic I really enjoy it.  Today in clinic we learned more about of Graceys and also how to use the ultrasonic.  Man now I know why people use the ultrasonic all the time. It ROCKS!!! I also used my loupes for the first time and I love them.  I would hate to go back to not having them they are so nice.  Well I'm a little nervous getting back into the flow of everything and on top of class now having to get patients.  I hope everything will work out and it will be a great sem.  See ya all tomorrow!!
