Jess is done!!

Jessica was my first pt the semester and today I completed her treatment. I felt great I was a little quicker and only had 1 spot missed. I felt like I had some good teaching techniques from Mondays clinic and was able to utilize them today. I found that I was struggling with the Lingual anterior just at the gum line by using a barnhart toe instrument with vertical and horizontal strokes I I was able to easily remove the deposit! It was awesome it felt great to finally improve in that area! My next goal will be again to work on my posture and continue working on getting the distal angle of # 2 and #15. Clinic was great today and I got my pts husband scheduled which awesome!!

Mother In-law

Today I worked on my mother in-law and I found that for me it actually harder to work on people you know (husband and child excluded). I think It was hard to do OHI and feel like your pt is taking you seriously. Compared to someone in their yearly 60s I'm just a child. However I my pt was a class V and I got an OD and 2 quads completed. I really felt that the class V was easier then a class 1b and that was really interesting to me. I feel like I'm getting faster and better at detection calculus. For my goal I would like to improve on my time of scaling and work on my posture.
