I have not had much luck with my patients lately:(. I had two scheduled and both cancelled. I rescheduled two more and my morning cancelled! I do have an afternoon that was a class 3 last time. I guess ill just study this morning and hope for something good after lunch!

this morning i had a 1b. he was pretty easy, but he was late, so i had to rush! I also had a 1a and a finished up my 4 today! it was stressful for sure... I missed a few spots on my class 4 patient. All of them were really subgingivally, so alexander had me get out my gracey minis and they worked perfect!

My morning patient did not show:( but michelle helped me out and gave me one of her patients. she was just a 1b, but better to have someone in my chair than none! My afternoon patient was a 4 so that was great! i got 4 bwx and gave her an IA which was difficult because she didnt have any of her molars. My instructor had to show me how to feel for the location. I also gave her to mental injections. she was missing some teeth so i was able to finish 2 quads.

My mom came in this morning. I feel a little more comfortable starting off with someone i know! She was a 1b. she had very little calculus and plaque, so it was a pretty quick appt. I gave her nitrous which took a little more time. i gave her .5 liters and she could already feel it and didn't want to turn it up any more.
My afternoon patient cancelled just before the appt:( , so i guess i'll get some studying done...... I swear my patient always cancels on the first day just to stress me out!!

I am CA today. I have 3 down and only 1 to go in the spring semester. Its kind of a long slow day, but gotta get it done. I have a make-up day at the VA tomorrow and then off for the whole weekend for thanksgiving! I have 5 quads of a class 3 left. I'm hoping with the extra day at the VA and my last patient I will finish my requirements for the semester......

My patient did not show this morning. 2 hours after his appointment was supposed to start he showed! I only had enough time to do an OD, and he ended up being 3 quads of a class 4. I resheduled him for my last week of clinic. I took 4 BWX and on tooth number #19 you could see condensing osteitis...it was pretty cool. I also had a class 5 today, so I just tried to pass off some PE's.

Yay! I got a class 3 today.... I found alot of calculus on the entire buccal and lingual surfaces. He was very compliant, so that helped. I was hoping for some LA, but he didn't need it. I finished him up and i am SLOWLY moving along on my class 3's. The afternoon was pretty easy, because I had a class 5. I did get a couple of PA's on her. She has low blood glucose levels, so I did a glucose test on her and the results were normal.
