Intruments, instruments, and more intruments!

We organized all of our instruments today. It got me really excited to know that we will be using them soon. I may regret saying that... I also passed of my exploring PE and got some really good tips for probing. Ex: stay with the triangle, find a happy medium with my walking stroke, a cute poem, and use a split fulcrum to get to the very posterior teeth.

Exploring

I loved exploring! I do need to still practice it a little but I feel much better about it compared to probing. I stuck Heidi a few times....but learned. The typodont sucks! A real person is so much better to practice on!

Probing

Ugh! Probing! I do not feel comfortable at all with this. It is so uncomfortable. Honey be ready to be probed!  Yeah he is my guinea pig. I was excited to start actually being in the mouth for that kind of stuff but I really need to practice. I forgot to blog last Monday too and we did intraoral exams and that was pretty easy. That stuff is interesting to me.

Last Wednesday and today

We did extra oral exams and then intraoral exams on Monday. It was an awesome massage! The extra oral at least. They were both pretty easy days! 

BP, P, R

I like this stuff! I learned this stuff when I took my CNA class so it is something I feel really/ pretty comfortable with.

Last wednesday blog

So we learned about health history and practiced. It was alot of information, but I feel like it will be beneficial to our patients. This to me is one of the most important parts. Costley told us that we get to take time to explain things to patients about different medications and other things that their doctor may have not had time for. If I were a patient I would really appreciate it.
