BFI

Today we learned and talked about the Bleeding-free Index. In other words... when we probe, if we get bleeding in a certain area from the pocket, we count it as one. Then there's a big math equation and we count how many spots were bleeding and how many teeth are present in the mouth and that makes up the BFI. The higher the number the better. Everyone wants to be 100% bleeding free, right?! It was fun to do today! I'm still uneasy with probing but I know it will continue to get better!
