Intra oral exam

Today we went over the intra oral examintation. I found that I had a hard time remebering the names of the structures, I think I will make some flash cards and illistrations to decide how to do this. I was confused at why we were looking at all these normal things, aren't we suppose to be looking for whats wrong? It made more sense when they told us that if we know whats suppose to be there we know when its wrong! Also it was really cool to look at tonsils! That is not what I thought they were! How stupid is that!
