Done with class 3's

So today in clinic I saw 3 quads of a class 3 in the morning and 2 quads of a 4 in the afternoon. It was a really good day in clinic and I only missed 2 spots on the class 4. I felt pretty confident with my scaling and exploring. I decided that from now on I am going to treat each patient as if they were my board patient. Sometimes I feel that I get in a hurry and don't check after I scale the way I should. I felt liked I checked well today and in the end I seemed to do better than usual. Now for my requirements I just need another class 4, and 2 1A patients. Hopefully those will come my way.

Day of class 3's

So today was a relatively good day considering that it has been a blizzard outside all day long. This morning I had a lady come in who was a class 3 in all quads. Her lower quads qualified for mockboard and board. The only thing I am a little nervous about is I cleaned all the upper teeth so I will not beable to add any teeth if I need to from another quad. I am still going to look for another patient that qualifies just in case she won't work out for both. In the afternoon I was able to clean 1 quad of a 3. He had to leave early to go pick up his kids from school, but will be back next week for me to fininsh. He looked like such a healthy patient, but had a lot of calculus. His gums did not look inflamed or anything though. Well time to go home.

So today was an overall good day in clinic for the most part. I had my class 3 patient coming in this morning to finish her last 2 quads. She ended up coming about 2 hours late which made me annoyed. I was able to get her finished thank goodness! I am glad that she is done cause she was a pretty difficult to deal with. This afternoon I was able to see a patient again that I had seen last spring semester. I could not believe how much improvement there was in her probing depths. This is the first time I had seen a patient back and it was really cool to see the improvement. It made me excited to go out into private practice where you see many of the same patients over and over. Anyways it was an overall good day considering the circumstances.
