Today was quite an exhausting day! I got here early to get all set up to find everyone else was already here ready to go. I felt a little behind even though I was n half hour early. I ended up being okay on time because I was done before my patient was available to come back.
I brought her back first because I was the only one who put my patient in my chair,. I brought her right back and got started. I felt pretty confident in what I was doing through the whole OD. The OD check went well. I was within a mm from my instructor on probings. I felt like I did well on time. I could've sped it up just a little bit in order to finish a patient from start to finish, but since I am still learning I didn't mind too much.
I was able to complete 2 quad scaling and all of the preliminary part of the appointment. The mandibular lingual teeth were the most difficult to get cleaned. She had a lingual bar bonded at each tooth from #22-#27 (I actually separated it from tooth #22 while I was flossing during her OHI.. oops!)
Overall, I felt like today was successful, and I learned a lot from my instructor because they were only in charge of 2 students, so I got a lot of one-on-one time with her! I was really excited I was able to finally do this! I can do this for the rest of the time now :) YAY!
