Four in a row

I don't want to jinks it, so knock on wood, but today I had no errors on my patient. Thats four in a row. Maybe I am actually starting to figure out this whole scaling thing. My patient was my dad again and I did three quads. He is a hard class two. So I was excited about not missing anything on him cause I know there was actually deposits there. He was such a good patient. The ultrasonic was getting water all over him and he did not even complain. He even let me pass of the air powder polisher PE on him and that is the worst. I would compare it to being sand blasted in the mouth. Thanks dad you are such good sport.

Record time

Wednesday, I cleaned one quad of a class five and four quads of a 1A. K So It might not be a record for any one else, but thats the best I have done so far so it was good. It is going to be crazy when we get into practice and have to clean like fourty quads a day. My back is already SCREAMING. It was rough though my second patient was a little squirmy and he wanted me to show him every "sugar bug" I scraped off his teeth. Oh well, at least it kept him interested. Then I had to do sealants. That was a task I am suprised I had fingers left after all the biting going on. I had no errors though on either of my patients. Yeah!!!

Three times a charm

Today was looking like it was going to be a rough one. I called my patient on Saturday to confirm her appointment, and what did I find? A disconnected phone number. Will she be there? Will she not? It was hard to say. Well thank goodness I have the best husband ever. He again waited in the lobby just to see if he was needed, and he was. I got his last three quads. done really fast and pasted off my removable appliance PE with his invisline. Not to mention the fact that I had zero errors. Yeah!!! So far it was really turning around. THEN I got done just in time to OD a class three that Sarah had found. Double Yeah!!! She helped me so much and was so sweet to just give me her unit and everything. She even helped me chart probe depths and cleaned my unit. I owe her big. So now I have two quads. of a class three. Now I just have to find two more. Cross your fingers.

Daddy Dearest

So my dad came in today as my patient. It was fun we went to lunch after and a movie after. Lets be honest that was the best part. The cleaning part went alright. I think once I get faster at probing then it will be smooth sailing, but I am still not very comfortable with my probe depths. I swear one of the pockets was a five today, right up in the front, but Vining said it was just a four and what he says goes. So, I thought that my dad would for sure be a class three patient but he was just a two. We all know I need more of those. Who knows where I am going to find a three. They are a hot commodity right now in the hygiene world. I have been told that it will all work out, times like this I have a hard time believing it. Bring on more stress.
