Last DAY of Class!!

I can't believe that everything is coming to an end. Real patient day is over and we are getting ready for finals. I seriously can't believe how much we have learned in one semester!! And I have to admit that I didn't think I was going to make it through, but here I am ready to move on to next semester!!!!!

REAL PATIENT DAY

I was so excited and nervous for this one. Steve was my patient and he was being so good about it. It started out really smooth. I was really worried about charting all of his restorations, but it was not as bad as I thought. Then I found out he has the most perfect mouth ever for xrays!! They were not very hard at all. I was a dummy and gave him floride before I even scaled!! Don't ask me what I was thinking:)

Moch Patient Day

So Tandem was my moch patient and things went really great! I was so nervous to work on her, I think I got to school about an hour early and just sat around anxiously. Overall I feel like I did a really good job. I had a few mishaps with charting, but I am feeling like that will never be perfect, so oh well.

Not so bad at all

Well today we were supposed to pass off three PE's! I thought it was going to be a nightmare considering one of them was air powder polish. But it went really smooth. I was very happy with the sealant I placed and I feel like everything is really coming along.

Most Messy Thing EVER!!

Today we used the air powder polisher and wow, it got everywhere! It really did work well for removing stain but I don't think it would be worth the trouble unless they have a ton of stains. We also did sealants on each other which I have been really excited for. Mine went really well and it was overall a really great day (considering I woke up at 7:15). Sorry if I smelled gals:)

Sit back and relax

YEAH!! Today I get be the patient. It is really nice because I just get to sit back and enjoy the experience. And I really think it will help me be a better operator, because I will pay attention to the things that I like when I am in the chair.
