Real Patient Day!

I have to say that I was a little nervous for today but once my sister got here it wasn't bad at all. I was so relaxed today which is a good thing. I had a lot of fun. It was nice working on someone that doesn't get their teeth worked on every other day. One thing that I totally blew by was that my patient had a little recession and tooth abrasion. I wrote it down as rounded marginal gingivitis. That's how smart I was today. It was fun actually seeing it in a real person other than in a picture that I saw once. I had a great time today and I can't wait for the holiday break!!!!

Relaxing Day!

Once again I was the patient and was able to lay in the chair all clinic hour. What a day. The bad thing is knowing that next time i'm in clinic it will be our real patient day. Oh I am so scared but at the same time I am way excited. I hope that everything goes well and that I have a great time. My sister is coming and so I will just tell her to be quiet and let me work. Just kidding. Well good luck to everyone on MOnday!!!

Mock Patient!

Well I thought that I was the patient today but I was wrong, Thank goodness I brought wrinkled scrubs. I am so glad that I was the operator though. It is good to have it over with. NOw all that I am stressed about is the real patient day. The end is near everyone. No more pe's for me. Yeah

One more PE to go!!!

Today was a good day. We got to pass off three PE's which leaves us with only one more to pass off. I can't believe how fast this semester has gone. It's great. I still hate the air powder polisher but doing sealants are so much fun. Before we know it, we will be done with the semester!!!

Sealants!!

Today we did sealants and the air powder polisher. The polisher hurt like crazy, that was not fun at all. IT is kind of good that we practice on each other before we actually do this on our patients so that we can tell them how it really feels. It hurts. I did however loved doing sealants. They were so much fun. I did two at one time. I was pretty happy. Professor Costley said that I will have tgo do a whole quad next time. WE will see how that one goes!!!

Mock Patient!

So my nightmare that I had last night didn't come true today, thankfully. I don't know why but I didn't sleep well last night. All I thought about was the mock patient and how I did everything wrong. It turns out that it was a great learning experience and I got more done than I thought that I would. It was really fun to actually go through everything from the beginning to end. What a great learning experience!!!!

Easiest Day Ever!

Today was the easiest day ever, I sat in the chair for three hours!!! It was great. I guess on Wednesday it will be my turn to have a patient. It was good to see how everything works before I actually have to do it.
