First day at Midtown. I was surprised at how quickly what I had learned last year came back to me. I know my skills have a long way to go, but they have also come a long way.
My ultrasonic wasn’t working today so I had to scale my class II patient with hand instrumentation only. It made me really focus on my hand instrumentation. There is a good chance that once I graduate this same thing may happen and I will be expected to clean my patient’s teeth.
My patient was so nice too! It’s so much easier to work on patients that appreciate what you are doing for them. The majority are that way, but every now and then there is a patient that is not as appreciative. Not only are the patients really nice, those that work at Midtown were so helpful today. I am really excited for the opportunity to use this time at Midtown to excel in my skills and not have the stress of requirements.
