LIAR! LIAR I SAY!

So this afternoon I had a patient come in that had called last week when I was CA. He was in the older 20's and said he doesn't remember the last time he had a cleaning, aka he never has had one. So since he hasn't had any dental stuff done in such a long time I told him that we really needed to do a full mouth series of xrays which he opposed to when I told him the cost, which was fine so I said ok then we can do 4 BWX and a pano. Of course to no surprise he was ok with the BWX but not the pano, " it was cutting into his lunch money"... (my eyes rolled)... so we went on with what we had. I got him back and started his OD and asked about his home care.. typical answer, " I brush 2x's a day and floss 1 time a day." this is where I seriously about bust out laughing. all said and done, BFI 0% and PFI 0%! I think the number speak for themselves. I was only able to get one quad done but he was a class II.

Finished? what?

So this morning was AWESOME! So last year I was never able to finish a 1B in a single appointment and guess what?! somehow maybe cause I know the flow of things and am not so scatter brained that was able to finish a 1B! Thanks  and a big shout out to Kalli! She is so amazing and such a good friend to be willing to come in for me. It was so nice to be able to talk real dental with a patient and good friend that I haven't seen in forever! I can finally see that I might actually be improving!

CA Duties

Today was pretty chilax. April and I were CA for the day which I have to say was really pretty nice to get back into the swing of things for Weber clinic. Not having to worry about seeing a patient and seeing how things run again around here, it was nice. :) I was able to help out with charting, which was a good refresher, and then did a fair amount in the front office. Still not a fan of MR. Solomon.... I'll just say he irritates me....

Round 2!

Ok so its day 2 of the VA and I was yet again able to finish a class V! This afternoon though was awesome! Connie let me help her with a patient and he was this extra old man I mean like about to croak on me in the chair, but he was a class IV! I was so awesome I was able to do a pano and bitewings and get 1 quad done. I wish I was able to get more done but atleast i got one quad! Also connie gave me a "crash course" on the files which will be amazing when I can really start to use them!

VA first day

Today was pretty crazy! I had more training in the morning for the VA and that in and off its self was so confusing. I  HATE computers the more I am forced to use them. Now don't get me wrong I use computers a lot but when it comes to programs like what the VA uses I hate them and could literally throw them out a window! The afternoon went pretty well however. I saw a class V patient and was able to finish all 4 quads! Hurray some improvement there!

There's a light at the end of the Tunnel!

So today was an incredibly long day. In morning clinic I finished my 1 quad of Class III and got 3 more quads of a V and finished passing off all my Pe's! Holy cow it was a bit rough! Then I stayed for the afternoon clinic and my ever so handsome Hubby came in and I finished his 4 quads of a 1B and was able to do my final sealant experience. Thanks heavens finally all my requirements are done and done! Now off to party with the new incoming junior class and hopefully my new peer pal is easy going and ready for the craziness of the program. Give me a Hallelujah for finishing the first year of the program!

Really? First no Show!

so today totally sucked, I had a guy from my ward scheduled and the jerk no showed on me for the actual cleaning! I mean we've already done his xrays and now he doesn't care to finish and never returned my calls never aswered the phone, I know he's avoiding me. Me and Salomon called people on the resource list for over an hour! Nobody was willing to come in! So the angel Amy came to my rescue! with the help of the fabulous CA Sierra today and Katie my instructor for the day I was able to get through 2 quads! A crappy start to the day ends somewhat a good day! Thanks everyone for all your help! I was kind of a mess! ok So I was a HUGE mess!
