Air powder polish, selective polish, and Fluoride Varnish application

Today I learned about Air powder polishing starting with a penny over the sink to get the feel of it.  I then was able to practice on my pod partner.  She did really well even though it tasted very nasty and was hard on her mouth since she bleaches and her teeth are very sensitive.  After I practiced this, I did a selective polish on her teeth.  Even though her teeth don't have any stain, it was nice to be able to practice.  After I polished I placed fluoride varnish on her teeth by using a sweeping motion on each surface like you would using nail polish all over her teeth from distal posterior to mesial anterior.  I felt confident doing this.


I was able to pass of my Tx planning PE.
