My 1A today was pretty easy. I just had to remove plaque, polish with a tb and tp, and floss. we tried x-rays but her mouth is still just a little too small and she kept gagging. she didn't have her permanent molars yet, so didn't need any sealants. too bad i still need 3!

I finally go my denture pt. I was nervous, but it was not so bad. The probing and cleaning went quickly. He took good care of his teeth and denture, so it made my job a lot easier. We took 4 bwx and then 5 pa's to get a good look at his anteriors and one posterior.

I finished scaling my pt today. she was a class 2 on the LR and LL, and a class 3 On the upper. It was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. It took the full appt to finish her. I feel like I had some good practice really going interproximally and getting the right angle on my instruments. She had mod. perio, so we gave her a lot of OHI and educated her on periodontal disease.

today i had a class 2 on the mandible and 3 on the maxilla. it was pretty tough, i only completed one quad of a class 3. she still has her two wisdom teeth in the maxilla and one has alot of decay. we recommended her to get those out. i took 4 bwx and 2 pa's on the wisdom teeth. i think the hardest part for me today would be the deep pockets!

Today was an experience! My patient was told to pre-med, but ran out of his rx of Amoxicillin. It was for a heart murmur, but the new ADHA guidlines do not require a pre-med for heart murmurs any longer. The ultimate say is from the physician. We tried to get a hold of him for a while and ended up hearing back that Russell needed to be pre-med. We gave him pre-med by 1pm and had to wait an hour which did not leave much time. He was a class 2 and just in to get scaled. We ended up getting finished luckily, since he was here all day! I am feeling a little more comfortable with interproximal scaling, but still getting there.

well i am CA again, twice in a row. Its pretty easy and kind of relaxing. I feel like i haven't had a pt forever! spring break is next week and im pretty excited. we may go out of town for a week! yay:)
