Finally finishing last semesters Pt

Ok so today I was finally able to get my brother in law back into clinic since the last time I saw him was in November. We finally were able to actually clean his teeth and not just got through OD and OHI. I feel like I'm on a roll. 4 quads of class V. getting so close to quad requirements, now if I could just get my xray requirements.

8 quads 1B!

So today I had my mom again to get her all finished up and it was so awesome. I noticed once i finished her cleaning that she was a good candidate for sealants! So being ever so generous she said go ahead and do what ever you can to get what you need done.Sweet! Yes still january and I have now completed 8 1B's and 8 1A's. Must keep pushing!

What is it with People backing out on me?!

Ok so last night about 9:00 pm I got a text from my brother who was supposed to be my patient today and he totally backed out! Really 9:00 pm on a sunday night?! So my incredibly handsome and supportive hubby brought two of our kids Madison and Dillan and they did so amazing! I had maddi sit in the chair and she says " Mom, I'm a little scared but I'm trying to be brave." Aww thats my tough little girl! Thanks for helping mommy out. She's never had Xrays and did so amazing! got them done without a problem, no gagging or retakes! Dillan on the other hand was getting so tired and ready for a nap but he did so awesome. Though no xrays he did awesome holding still letting me clean his teeth.

Once again... bailed on

So yes once again my brother in law had to bail on me, due to his ex-wife, so my incredibly easy going and dependable friend helped me out and we got her finished! YES! a total of 5 quads 1B so far and it's not even the end of the month, as long as I can keep this rate up I might actually meet the requirements for clinic! And not to mention I had a chance to pass off a couple of PE's. good day.

Thank Heavens for family!

So I was going to have my brother in law come but he had to bail on me nearly at the last minute so thank heaven my amazing mom was willing to come! I wasn't able to do xrays which is a bummer but at least I was able to get another 1B started! I absolutely love clinic and seeing the difference from when I start a cleaning to the end results. Awesome!

First REAL Patient!

Today was so exhausting! I saw my first real patient and even though it was just a 1B holy cow I feel like I'm slower than tar. I got very good xrays and no retakes! Whoot Whoot! The thing that made today so long was I had to be C.A. for afternoon clinic and they were way behind on schedule. I was barely walking out of the building at 5:15! crazy! Hopefully timing will start to improve for all of us!

Back to the grind stone...

So I haven't posted in quite a while today was the first day back and a new semester, of actually seeing patients!
Today we learned the Ultrasonic which I think I'm going to love. The only thing that makes me nervous to use it is that it leaves small burn marks on my typodont, I know I know real teeth are different but still if it gets that hot who's to say it won't damage real teeth?! Any way awesome day, So excited for the rest of clinic days!
