1B

My little sister was my patient. She is a 1B. I was able to do a set of bitewings and finish scaling. She has an impacted wisdom tooth, so a pano would be good for her. I will be rescheduling her for a pano and some sealants. I thought the appointment went well.

first patient

My first patient of the semester was also my first patient I didn't know since I had my mom for my patient last semester. I thought it went well. I was worried she wouldn't come because the roads were so bad. She was about an hour late, but I was able to finish all four quads. I did miss a few spots though. I need to slow down a little to make sure I am being thorough.

area specific instrumentation

We learned area specific instruments today. We also got to practice ultrasonic scaling. It all went well exept the distal Gracey. I can't get that one right. I'm nervous for Wed. My first non-family patient. I can't believe we're back in school already. I'm already ready for another break!
