Good but CRAZY day

I got my class 3 patient today!! My patient hasn't had a cleaning for at least 7 years and her calculus was so tenacious!! I didn't even get 1 quad done, so hopefully I can finish her on Monday. I'm kind of nervous though because my patient on Wednesday hasn't had a cleaning in 10 years, so I'm sure she'll also be a class 3. I just hope I have enough time to finish everyone!!

I Hate Patients that flake on me!!

My patient that was supposed to come in was so weird! I left many messages and she never called me back. Then I had Mr. Salamon call and she kept hanging up on him! Weird! And then she called me and hung up on me when I answered. Luckily I was able to find another patient, but once again he was a 1B. I don't need anymore 1B's! My patient hasn't had a cleaning for 3 years and he had so much sheet calculus! I HATE sheet calculus!

x-rays for second years

Today we didn't have class so I decided to take x-rays for the second years because I'm way behind on my x-ray requirement! It ended up being a really good idea because I was able to get 2 sets of Bwx's and 6 Pa's.

Another class 2

For some reason it's so easy for me to find class 2 people. With today's patient I'm over on my requirements, which I guess isn't a bad thing. I just wish I could find a class 3 patient!! And for some reason I have the worst luck with my patients not wanting x-rays! SUCK!

Today was such a fun day! My Aunt who lives out of state was my patient today! It was so nice to be able to relax and just have fun when cleaning teeth. The only bad thing was she didn't want x-rays, but it was worth it because we had fun! My aunt drinks a lot of tea so she had generalized black staining on her linguals. It was a good experience to learn how to get it off.

Class 2

Today was pretty easy, but once again I didn't take x-rays because my patient didn't want them... I really don't think I will meet my x-ray requirements! Even though my patient was a class 2, he was easy because pretty much all his teeth were crowned so it didn't take too long to clean him. But I'm seeing his wife next week, so hopefully I can take x-rays on her.
