UDA

I had a lot of fun at UDA because I was able to spend the day with my mom. I enjoyed going to the classes and talking to the different vendors. I bought some loupes while I was there, which I'm really excited about!! I can't wait to try them out.

Easy 1B

I'm completely done with my 1B's but I still needed to schedule a patient. I was disapointed because my patient didn't want x-rays and I only have 4 sets of BWX's. It's going to be close... But it was another easy day, I got done with my patient an hour early, which was really nice because I was able to take my time on charting.

Great day

Today Riley's grandpa came in and he was such a good patient for me! I was able to do my blood glucose and denture PE on him and he as a class 2 on his lowers. His dentures were so easy to clean because they didn't have any calculus on them. I need to get faster because it still took me like an hour just to scale his lowers.

1B exam

I had a scheduling confusion, but after we worked it out today went really good. My patient was 7 months pregnant, so it was a great experience to work on someone who's pregnant. She takes really good care of her teeth, so she was a really easy patient. I did my exam on her and I didn't miss anything and I got done like an hour early!! YAY :) Finally something goes right this week!

Class 2 appt. 2

Today was a really relaxing day, I was able to take my time and just focus on what I was doing. I was able to have my patient do my caries control intervention assignment. That will be such a relief to have that done and out of the way. I learned what "meth" mouth possible looks like today. Jeff thinks my patient has meth mouth, which would be so sad if it is true.

What a mix up!!

So I started the day off doing TA today. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but next time I need to make sure I'm 15 minutes early not 10 minutes. I was drilled like 5 times for being 5 minutes late. Then clinic came around and the family I had set up didn't bring their kid and failed to let me know until they walked into the door. I feel so bad because Emily had to look for a patient. But my patient actually ended up going pretty good. I was able to finish him and I did my 1B exam. YAY!!
I just need to stop stressing out. I feel like I'm a frantic mess when I'm in clinic because I'm always rushed on time. I can't wait until I feel like I know what the heck I'm doing....

Crazy day!!

Today I saw a 1A patient and a 1B patient and I finished both of them!! YAY! I even did two sealants on the 1A, so I was able to pass off my sealant PE and meet one of my sealant requirements. I also declared my 1A patient as an exam. I was able to accomplish a lot today!!
