Another class II

Today I did another OD.  I got another class II patient.  I have all the class II's I need for the semester so hopefully I will start getting some 1b patients.  I passed off my submarginal explorer PE.  Also I got some more bwx's .  I need to start doing more pa's.  Next week I will finish this patient so until then!!

Class II

So today I brought back one of my class II patients.  I was hoping to finish al the quads, but I only go three done.  I just needed like 10 more minutes but oh well.  It was a good experience and instructor Hafen helped me out a ton!! As I was sclaing some of her teeth with deep pockets pus kept coming out... New experience.   I feel more comfotable scaling and passed off my anterior sclaing PE.  I will be bringing her back to finish the one quad.

Another Day in Clinic...

So today seemed to be a off day for me in clinic.  My HHX seemed to take me forever to do.  When they said sometimes the HHX can take up most of the appointment it is true... Well i think it took me like an hour.  It is so time consuming to look up medication and ecspecially if they have alot.  I took x-rays and atleast I didnt have to take any retakes.  I have decided after this appointment that my weak point is doing ODs... I like scaling much better than doing everything involved with ODs.  But I guess as I keep doing them I will improve..I hope!!! My patient was a class II for two quads and a class V for the other two.  So now I have a total of 8 class II quads.

1B patient

Still catching up on blogging... On Jan 19 I had my sister in-law come as my patient.  She ended up being a 1B which I was glad of because we need so many of them this semester.  I took xrays did the OD, OHI, and scaled one quad.  I was stressed though becuase I didnt have time to pass off a PE and I feel like I am behind in doing them.  I will be bringing her back to finish. 

1A patient

Well I have gotten behind in bloggin so on jan 12 I had a ten year old patient who actually was my niece.  It was so fun to teach her about her mouth and how to keep it healthy.  I was alot less stressful of an appointment which was nice.  I took BWX and finished all 4 quads.  I was hoping that she needed sealants but she didnt.  Hopefully some of my other patients will need them.  Overall this appt went really well!!

1/10/11

Today I saw a new patient that I did not know.  I was so nervous, but it went very well.  I got to the OHI.  I mainly just did the OD.  It is getting easier.  She was a class 2 so she is coming back.  I hope I can get it all done in the next appointment.  On wed I am doing a 10 year old so that will be fun!

First patient in clinic

Today I did my first patient of the semester.  It was a good review.  I need to work on my sclaing.  I hope that i feel more comfortable as the semester goes on.  I got 4 quads done and 2 pas.  So i got some requierments done.  I have a new patient on wednesday!! Good luck to me.  Until then

1st day of spring clinic
