I can't believe my 8:00am patients that I schedule! Another cancellation! I was frantically trying to find a patient to schedule when I remembered my herpic lesion patient wanted to be bumped if I had a cancellation. I called him and my IA patient and they were both able to come this morning! YAY! Today ended up being very productive which was nice to have considering yesterday was emotionally exhausting after a funeral of my husband's dear friend.
Morning: I was able to see my Class III 2 quads and complete him quickly. I was also able to see my Class IA patient during the same session which was nice to double book. My Class III patient was so sweet. I connected with him instantly during the last appointment. He was so sweet to always ask about my dad and give me pointers to help him quit his battle of smoking since he was able to quit a couple of years ago. He was so genuine when my instructor came to check him. He definitely gave me the boost I needed. My Class IA was a little difficult. I know her from my ward, so I thought it would go smoother than it did. It took a lot of bribing and finally dinosaur stickers did the trick! Who would've thought? She opened wide and let me do what I needed to do :)
Afternoon: I was able to see a patient that was seen by a previous dental hygiene student that I worked with over the summer. She knows this patient personally, so it was very nice to have her come! She showed up a little late because she got lost but I was glad she actually came. She, too, was a sweetheart. She did so well in my chair and complimented me every chance she could. I am so grateful for wonderful people in this world to help build me up and change my day into a great one and to help me on my road to becoming a dental hygienist!
