Last mockboard!!

So, I was so ready for my mockboard today. My patient comes and I take her back and I'm so engrossed in getting all the paperwork filled out so I get my patient check in on time that I didn't even notice a big honking cold sore on her lip! My professor comes up to me and says sorry we have to dismiss your patient because she has a cold sore! I wanted to break down and cry, but I kept telling myself I have more important things to worry about, like BOARDS! My professor was really nice and understanding and is allowing me to do it on a regular clinic day! What a relief!!

First Class 4!!

This afternoon my patient ended up being a true calls 4!! I'm so excited since I haven't done any class 4's and need 8 quads. He had severe bone loss and bleeding on ever tooth with generalized deep pockets! He was so hard to clean! I only was able to get 1 quad done, but he seemed really appreciative!
