Best Day Ever. I could just end now and be happy. I was so scared for today because it is my first time scaling since being back. I mean seriously I did not sleep at all last night. I decided to be brave this year and not start off by seeing family. I picked random names and got them scheduled.
My morning patient ended up being a class III! Way to jolt myself back into reality. But it was so much fun. I love OHI when the patient has that lightbulb moment and is so excited to make changes in their routine. I love love love teeth. They are so cool. I mean really really cool.
Anyway I learned so much today. I actually really really liked scaling today. It actually felt natural today for the first time ever. It was actually the best first pt. because the tissues were so loose I could see most of the calculus and it was a great learning experience.
My second pt. was a doll. She only speaks Spanish so I made my wonderful translator husband come and sit with me for two hours and translate. She was a difficult class II pt. I missed tons and tons of spots but I learned so much. Dr. Hansen showed me how to utilize an extra oral fulcrum and it is wonderful. And as an added bonus, she is the perfect mockboard pt. That takes a small load off my mind. I am feeling very lucky today.
