Emergency

Today in clinc we learned what to do in case of a pt emergency. It was good to go over who does what if something were to ever happen. It was also good to go over the emergency kit and see everything in it and what it is used for. I passed off my sealant PE which makes me really happy. I only have on left which I am going to pass off on Wed on my pt. I am excited to finally get a real pt in the chair and do a full appt. it should be a good day!

Mock Patient

It was an excellent day in clinic! I did my first appointment from start to finish. Suprisingly it I remembered most of the stuff I needed to. The only thing I did not remember so well was how to do the tx plan on eaglesoft, it had been awhile since we had done that. I also missed a few things on the intra oral exam, next time I will need to be more through. I am excited to see my first patient on the 28th I feel more confident now that we did a mock pt. Well not much more to say than that, it was a great day!

PSR

Today in clinic we did PSR it was not very difficult. I had not probed in a while so it was good practice. I also practiced ultra sonic scaling which was fun. I am excited for Monday b/c I get to do a pt from start to finish. That should be a good experience!

Sealants

Today in clinc we did sealants. I had already done them before, but it was a good to refresh my memory. I also passed of some PE's which makes me super happy. I only have a few left to pass off before the semester ends yay. But today was a really good productive day!

Air Powder Polishing

TODAY WE DID AIR POWDER POLISHING. IT WAS SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE, AND HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. IT WAS REALLY MESSY, AND TASTED SALTY, BUT SEEMED TO BE VERY EFFECTIVE. IT WAS COOL TO DO IT ON A DIRTY OLD PENNY AND SEE HOW MUCH GRIME WAS REMOVED. I ALSO PASSED OFF MY UNIVERSAL POSTERIOR SCALING PE TODAY SO I AM HAPPY ABOUT THAT

Ultrasonic and Sharpening

Today in clinic we sharpened our own instruments, and also did the ulrtasonic. It was actually a really good day and was quite fun. I really liked using the ultrasoinc, and sharpening makes a lot more sense when you actually do it.
