clinico

Ha Ha! I have no idea if that is how you say clinic in spanish!!! lol FINALLY!!!! Why is it that I always find a mockboard pt on the very last day possible, and the very last appointment of the day??? The only reason why i think this might be is because I need to have more faith. I just don't trust enough! It is going to work out, because it always does. I just need to trust that it will! I am really excited to work on my pt, for mockboards, I think it will be a very good experience!!!

YIPEE!!!!

Yee Hah

Well nothing too fantastic happened today, but I got two panos taken and that is a good thing for sure!!! I am happy to get more of those done, so now I have 3 and only 2 more to go! Not too shabby. Still don't have a mock board pt. So I think a screening clinic is in my future!!! Yeah!

Okee Dokee

So today I was just happy to have my patients show up for the day. It made my day to just know that they would come.

I learned something interesting today that I hadn't realized before. I was having some difficulty telling the difference between some calc and resing fillings interproximally today. Prof. Alexander told me to run the explorer over the filling and then the tooth and back again until you can get a good idea of what each feels like. This will help to tell a little better on the tooth whether there is calc. or if it is just a overhang from a filling. It makes it difficult when the overhang sticks out just like calc, so its good to look at the x-rays but if you don't have them, then this is a good method to try!!!

1st day back

Today was a sucky day today because my patients did not work out the way I wanted them to.  I ended up with 2 1B patients, and so it was somewhat disapointing.  I am trying to be optimistic about it because I know that I still need 1B's, but I am stressed about finding a mock board pt.  I did learn how to take the phosphore plate x-rays today which was really cool, and I took a pano which I greatly need, but that was about it for the day!
