Goal: 2 Quads Class V, 1 PE- Intraoral
Actual: 2 Quads Class V, 1 PE- Intraoral
Today went very smooth. I was able to finish my patient in 1 hour and 15 minutes. I finished her left side, selective polish, and Fluoride Varnish. I had to wait a little bit for my instructor for the first scale check because someone was passing off a PE, so I was able to complete all my charting during that time. I only missed 2 areas of calculus. I was able to feel what she felt with an explorer but had a difficult time feeling what I felt with a scaler. I have a feeling this will be what I struggle with. I need to learn to get deeper inside the pocket and adapt a little better to access what I'm trying to get. I am thankful for my experiences of missing calculus (even though it hurts my grade) because I am able to feel where calculus lies on each tooth and in different areas. I felt like my biggest battle at the beginning of the semester was tackling the paperwork. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on what is expected for the paperwork, and I'm getting faster and more efficient at writing it down because I've memorized the way they have it organized. Overall I feel good about the way today went. I hope I continue to get better, faster, and more efficient!
