Oh wow!

Today I had a great day! I found a mock board patient and totally had a great light bulb turn on for the ultra sonic! I just found that the addaption became clearer and easier. I felt that going over it a couple of times helped a lot and also turning it off and feeling around with it helped so much! I didn't miss any spots with this technique and you could see the calculus in the x-rays everywhere!

I think I'm on a streak of bad luck

Today my patient in the morning called after her appointment started 15min ago that she was sick and not coming in. At least now I won't get sick from her. I commenced on trying to find another paitient but to no luck! Then in the afternoon my patient didn't come even though I verified yestereday. I was in luck that a family did have an extra child so that I was able to see her, oh and boy was she fun! I learned a lot about controlling children today and not getting annoyed with them. It was a good experience!

?What type of fluoride?

Today we were able to do a lab in the morning and then see a patient in the afternoon. I really like lab days, it's nice being able to practice with others and just see how Im progressing with the others. I loved being able to try all the different types of fluoride, but after I got them all on my teeth I started getting sick to my stomach! Weird! Anyways, its all good now. I thougth it was great how each brand had so many different things about it to taste, to how it spread. That just made it solid in my mind to try many different brands and not be biased.
