10th Patient

Goal: Complete IB in one appointment, possible sealant experience, 4 BWX
Actual: Completed IB in one appointment with time left over :), 4BWX and 1 PAX, and 4 Sealants placed!

I was a little nervous for today because this was my first patient I actually wanted to finish in one appointment.  I was nervous for the actual patient because it seems like family/friends have a harder time with me than other people (I'm pretty sure I already explained why before this post).  I was able to complete 4 BWX and 1 PAX without any retakes which was such a relief and good on time.  My patient was very jumpy during the probing and scaling.  She had gingivitis so I explained to her why is hurts.  I think she understood after that and got motivated to control her oral health.  Today was a good self-esteem booster.  I was able to meet my goal and do a little more.  I want to be able to continue to increase my time, so I can see 2 IB in one appointment.
