PLease can I take a day off!

First mistake of the day= getting out of bed! Today was one of those days were I could do nothing right! At scale check my instructor asked me "have you scaled" Yeah so embarrassing I usually miss about 2 areas maybe 3 but today I missed 9yep 9 I really sucked it up today!! Well Lets hope that next Tuesday will be better! I need to learn to stay up on my fulcurm and keep my tip down!!! This is my new goal. I wasn't to slow down for a bit and just work on accuracy and correct technique. My one good event was that I Finally found my mockboard pt!! However he did show up 1hr and 20min late to the appt so lets hope for mockboard he will be on time!!!

I love 1B's

Today I saw my first 1B of the year! IT was so nice! nice healthy pink tissues with a little marginal redness. I finished so quickly nad did not have to work nearly as hard as I did on my class II's> So far my requirements are coming along great though I'm hoping to soon get some class III's!!! I love being able to demonstrate to my pts areas they can improve their oral health I like helping and teaching them. I also feel like my hand scaling is coming along nicely I used to fear the distal line angle of the max molars but I feel I have made adjustments and that I can adequately clean them !! Woot Woot!! I also want to begin seeing 2 pts in the afternoon Today I will try and we will see how it goes!!

2nd Clinic day

Woot Woot! I came into clinic thinking both my pts would be 1B's but both were Class V's I now have 17 quads for my class II's and its only the second week of clinic. I just hope I can start to see some class III's soon. I felt more comfortable in clinic today and did a little better with my x-rays. O had 2 really awesome pts who were excited about improving their health and working on keeping thier mouths healthy. It was so fun to be able to provide them with a good oral health education. I was able to pass off 2 PE's today and finish 8 quads. I'm thinking that soon I will be able to start seeing 2 pts in the mourning. If I can get 2 1b pts I think I could finish them both in the mourning. I feel like its time to start applying pressure and pushing myself to accomplish more.

First Pt day!! wow time to get back into the swing of things. I felt like my 1st apt was a little rough but by the afternoon I was getting back into the groove. I saw a true class II in the mourning and a class V in the afternoon I was able to finish 6 quads. I felt I struggled a little with my x-rays and would like to set a goal to work on those. I was getting reacquainted with my instruments and found I truly missed them. I was also able to get a physician consult and had a great review on how to do those. I also had to work with a pt that could only lie back half way. I felt it was a good learning experience. I really learned to appreciate pt positioning and how it can help us.
