Mock Board Patient

I am all set for my mock boards!!! We got all the x-rays we needed today. My patient was so awesome he did not mind at all that he was going to have to come back again for the mock boards. We had alot to talk about because he likes to race like my hubby. He told me all about his Camaro he races. Both of my patients today were great. They were both so sweet and cooperative. My next patient was a cute little lady that assists with special eduacation kids. She is just so cute I want to squeeze her. Thanks to them I did not miss any spots. Well I take that back, I missed one on my first patient back on the distal of his third molar but I felt pretty good about that. I also had no retakes on my x-rays so I am feeling pretty good. All and all it was a great day!

Mock

Back for more!!!

After my class four patient at the VA last week, I was ready to throw in the towel. Only after scaling for two hours on one quad and barely making a dent I thought maybe hygiene was not my calling, although my instructor told me that even a seasoned hygienist would have a hard time with this patient. I came back today with some hessitation and it went well. I missed a few spots on my first patient because of the amount of blood I could not see the calculus. Instructor Snow gave me a few tips and I did not miss any spots on my second patient, thanks to her. I also had no retakes on my x-rays. Yeah!!!! So I guess I won't quit quite yet.

I'm Back!!

So today was the first day back to clinic after the long summer. It went pretty good, although I would rather be in lake powell or somewhere still. My first patient was a good mock board patient, YEAH!!!! That is one less thing that I have to worry about. I only finished one quad on him because I got confused about the time and thought I had less time than I actually had, but oh well I will finish him next time. My second patient was my hubbies friend and I got him all done. He was awesome. So patient! Thanks Zeb! All and all it was a good day just getting back into the swing of things.
