My friend came in to the clinic and I am starting to feel a little more comfortable with instrumenting but still not as comfortable as I would hope. It was great to see my friend and work on her.

I had my mom come in today and it was awesome! I had to retake some x-ray but I feel like I did well. I got two quads cleaned and I got to spend some time with my mom. It was great! I even got to use the ultrasonic. It is much different on a real patient, but I love it! It is easy to use and removes the calculus very easily. Now for my patient I don't know on Wednesday.

Today was the first day of clinic. I am glad to be back but a little nervous and excited to work on patients. We learned about the ultrasonic today and I really like it. We didn't get to use it on a real patient, only on the typodont so I'm sure it will be different on a real person.

AHHH! Next clinic is real pt day!

It is so crazy! I can't believe it is already here. I loved today though; We were singing and dancing and just having a good time. It was really easy going and I learned so much. I loved being able to just sit and work with my instruments and figure out how the heck I use all these instruments.

Mock pt day!

I was way more nervous than I thought I was going to be. I feel like I did really well though. I am yet again still getting the swing of things. I am excited for our real patient day. I think it is going to be really fun working on my dad.

I was the patient today!

Even thought I was the patient today, I really learned alot about how things flow. I feel tons better about the real patient day.

Practice Day!

Today was so nice, I felt like I got caught up on everything. I passed off air powder polishing, sealants, and fluoride. Poor Mark! Now I am off to study for Costley's class and later going out with the volleyball girls. I have had so much fun playing volleyball...tonight is our night to hang out after the season is over.
