Last blog for the first year of Dental Hygiene

Yeah!!!!! The first year is coming to a close. It was a rough year but we all made it through somehow. Not without a few tears and a few sleepless nights worrying about if our patients were going to show. So girls enjoy your summer, because who knows what we have in store for us next year.

My class III done

I just finished the last two quads. of one of my class III. It feels so good to be done with them. I am done with all the requirements now except for a couple x rays and one PE. The stress is starting to lift despite the fact I have two tests this week. I don't know if I will get the full 65 quads. we are supposed to have but oh well at least I can go on to next year. Three more clinic sessions. Yeah!!!

Final 1B exam

I was cutting it pretty close. Our final 1B Exam had to be done today and I thought I would have it done a couple weeks ago, but then my patient canceled. So, I was stressed to have to do it on the last day, but it all worked out and I think I did ok. I guess we will see when I get my paperwork back tomorrow. Now the only thing I have left is two Quads. of a class three and a couple of x-rays to take. Only four more clinic sessions left. Yeah!!!!!

Class 3 cleaning

I thought I new what I was doing and felt pretty good about scaling, until I saw my class three today. I missed so many spots, I wonder if I got anything the first time around. The calculus was so tenacious and it was everywhere. I really hope I get better at class threes. They are a whole different kind of animal. So my no error streak is over. Oh well. At least it was not an exam.
