Easy Day!!

Today was an easy day, I only had to scale half a mouth. I finally felt the CEJ. I was scaling and I kept digging at this one area, which was probably not good, but then my instructor came and said that it was the CEJ. It was so distinct. I have felt the CEJ before, but it was just slight but this one was a definite one. It was very interesting. I also passed two more PE's off, which is awesome!!

NO mistakes

Today was a good day. I started a new patient again an got to scale one quad. It still takes me 15 min. to scale a quad but the good news is that I had no deposits that I missed. It was completely clean. It made my day. Maybe next time I will be able to get my scale time down a little bit.

I met a goal!

Today was a good day. I finally met my goal. I actually did more than I expected. I started a new patient today and finished two quads today. It was great. then on top of that I also did two PE's today, which I wasn't planning on doing. It was great. By the way, I love the phosphor plates. They are awesome. It is so easy, I recommend it to everyone.

GEtting Better

So I am having this problem. With the two patients that we have had so far, I always get done with the OHI early but not early enough to disclose and get a quad scaled. It has happened two times now. So my goal for my next patient is to get at least one quad done in the first appointment. I hope I can do it. I did good x-rays today however. I did digital x-rays and I thought that it was going to be so hard because I hated them last semester, but it turned out that I only had to do 1 retake. I was pretty excited.

What a fun day!!

So today was our first day back with a real patient. What fun. I loved it. I don't know why I stress the night before about it but I do and it always ends up being ok. My goal today was to scale each quad in 15 min. I don't know if that is way long or not but i thought that it was a good goal. I met my goal and even ended five minutes early than my goal. Each quad I got a little faster. This gives me hope. I only missed one little spot which was great as well. I hope everyone had a great experience today. Good luck to you all.

We're Back!!

HOly Cow!!! Can you believe that we are already back to school. The break flew by so fast. My favorite part about clinic today was the ultrasonic. It is so much fun and I can't wait to use it on my patients. Good luck to eveyone this semester, we are all in the same boat so don't feel alone!!!
