It was mockboards today and I barely got a patient at the last minute! When she got here I wasn't sure if she would qualify but she did! I scaled her UL quad and added 3 teeth to make sure. I used LA which I think is very useful and made my job a lot easier. I ended up missing 3 spots and they were burnished calculus and so hard to remove. With the 3 spots i still passed as long as i didn't mess anything else up!

My a.m. patient was just my class 2. I had already done the OD so I just had to finsish scaling. I missed quite a few small spots that were so hard to remove! Hopefully my board pt has calculus that is pretty easy to remove!
I thought I had a possible board patient, but I just found out today that the # is disconnected, so I'm freakin out again!
I have 1 and maybe 2 screenings friday, so i hope i find them!

My patient was a class 2. He had a lot of calculus that was just impossible to remove! I feel like I scaled and scaled and it just would not come off. I basically missed every interproximal spot. Instructor wold said that i was just not going interproximal and deep enough. I only got one quad done, so i will have to bring him back to finish.

I had two patients scheduled for this afternoon and neither one showed up! Luckily Jackie had an extra patient. He was just a 1B, but it was nice to at least have a patient. He was pretty easy, but had really sensitive teeth!
