Kinda Tough...

Today I completed a rather tough 1B patient. She was great and all I had to do was scale because I had previously done her BWX and OD. She hadn't been cleaned in about 5 years so her calculus build up was a bit more tough than a typical 1B patient. I picked on her a little bit but she handled it well. I used my ultrasonic scaler on her lower left and I'm starting to feel a lot more comfortable with it. She had an awesome calculus bridge along her lower anteriors on the lingual surface. It was fun to watch it click off. I had a great learning experience and I'm glad I was able to finish her up today.

Rachel Saved me!!

Today was Awesome!! I was stressing over the weekend because every patient that I called to come in kept cancelling. I was worried that I wouldn't have anyone and that I would fail the day. Luckily I asked my friend Mike and he told me that his sister could probably come in. I was really nervous to ask her but I did and she could come! Oh HAPPY DAY!! She was Fabulous! She was a class 1B and didn't have any buildup. I was able to complete her treatment in one visit which made me really happy! She was the 2nd person I was able to complete in one appointment so I was really excited to do so. She was so nice and very understanding to wait for the instructors. It was just an overall Fabulous day! I was able to pass of a PE which was awesome. I really can't express how happy I am right now!
ps... Happy Birthday Tyler!
