Finishing my class II's

Today was awesome! I saw my very last class II patient. She was actually a class V but they gave me a class II. I actually finished her early and was able to pass off a PE. One of the best parts actually was that the OHI we discussed last time really helped. It was great to hear something you told someone was tried and that it worked! I was a bit nervous this morning before clinic and that made it all worth it! i think thats one of my favorite parts about this is when you can make a difference in someone. Well I hope it keeps getting better. I can't believe we only have a month left!

To get a 1a or not to get a 1a that is the question

Today I had my very first patient under 13 years of age. I was hoping she was going to be a 1a but she had no primary teeth left. Bummer, but what can ya do? It wasn't that bad though cause I finished her and got 6 sealants done and gave 2 to Savanna. I also was able to pass off a PE so that was good. It was pretty fun in the end. I have to say shes my favorite patient so far. Oh and my Home Teacher came over Sunday and might have a class III for me so I am really hopeful! Pretty much thats all I have to do besides 1a's so thats good! I should have all my PAs taken by this Friday cause Jessica had a pt she did a screening on who needs an FMX but she doesn't need it for her requirements so she gave it to me. I am excited about that. Thanks!

Early!

So today I was actually like 30 minutes early for clinic! I was pretty excited cause I'm not exactly the most prompt person in the world. I am usually squeezing in with just enough time to set up the basic stuff. Today however I was on it! Yea! I saw a 1b pt she was way nice and wanting to go into dental hygiene also. It was fun to show her different things about clinic. It dawned on me I could take a Pano so that was cooland she needs sealants next time so I am really greatful! Really I know someone is watching out for me. I didn't even have a pt until Alisha asked in class yesterday if anyone wanted to help her with a family. My hand shot up pretty quick. K side note ya just have to be greatful for kids they rock! I am sitting here typing and there are two of them probably waiting for an appointment just riding the elevator up and down. Its great, so anyway back to clinic I was hoping to finish her today, but x rays took longer cause of the pano and everything so I wasnt able to. So far I haven't finished someone in one appointment yet, but I am hopeful. Well I'm off now so bye til next time! :)
