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!!!
