Sealants and Fluoride

Today, I learned how to place sealants and use fluoride in the tray.  I learned how to place sealants in the office I worked at for a long time, so this was just a refresher course for me.  I knew how to identify teeth that need sealants and placed them well.  I learned how to adjust them, so they don't feel high which was a good thing to learn.  After  Idid the sealants on my classmate I learned how to place fluoride gel in the tray.  This was pretty easy, but it takes 4 minutes directly on the teeth to be effective which kind of was a long time sitting in the chair not doing much.


I was able to pass off my Selective Polishing PE today and felt like I did well.  Overall, today went really smooth without any frustrations or bumps in the road :)
