LAST DAY! :) :) :)

Yay last day of clinic! :)
Alyse and I cleaned each other's teeth today, so this morning was pretty easy. i Passed off my desensitization and infection control PE's that I had no idea we had to do 2 of them until today!
I brought in a class 3 patient this afternoon that Tiffany had already started. I just had to clean 3 quads. I passed off my curved ultra sonic PE on her. She wasn't too bad, but I missed a couple of spots on the mandibular anteriors because i was not using enough lateral pressure.
I also got to practice LA one more time before boards! Her landmarks were a little different, so I had to go more lingually on the IA so I didn't have osseous contact.

LA mockboards

Today was LA mockboards. I had my mom come in as my patient. I passed the IA just fine, but failed the PSA. My window was not up! I still don't feel very great the PSA's, but Emily let me do some LA on her patient. I need all the practice I can get! I did the entire maxilla, so I got practice 2 more times on the PSA.

My board patient came in the afternoon. I did a full mouth and bwx on him with the scanx. I also finished his OD and UR,UL quads. He has been reliable so far, so hopefully he just shows up for boards and i'm good!

My class 2 patient cancelled on my this morning. I didnt really need him as a requirement, but I barely found someone to fill his spot! Alyse had an extra patient. She was a 1B and needed a couple of sealants. She had braces and I have never had a patient with braces! it was a little bit of a challenge with all of those brackets and wires. I used the rc/tp with the bristles and a floss threader. It was a good experience.
I had my last 1A this afternoon, so it was a pretty easy day:)
There are only a couple days left to schedule, so hopefully I can fit everyone in that I need to fill my requirements!
I need to get my board patient in here for x-rays.....
