Definitely rocked my class three exam today but......then my afternoon patient, which was only a class two, kicked me right off my high horse and into the stallions freshly excreted pile of crap! I don't know what my deal was, but I missed a ton of spots! What the what! Not cool! I was so frustrated, especially after I had done so well in the morning with my class three exam. I definitely believe Dr. Hanson now when she says that a lot of the time class twos are more difficult to clean. I guess I wasn't getting down far enough with my explorer to feel for the calculus and so I thought it was smooth as can be. Never underestimate the power of a pocket....and its evil and cunning ways of deceitfulness (aka making you think it's relatively shallow when really it's a deep dark abyss masked by a tangled mess of tight tissue) GAH! I swear I'll never let that happen again...hopefully! Haha it was a good lesson I guess...even though I had to learn the hard way!

you should be a writer my friend!
ReplyDeletetotally get the "don't underestimate the power of a pocket"
Wish I would have had Patients with Pockets today.. oh well.
keep on keeping on:)
I'm going to have to read your blog more often you are really witty with your writing skills. I agree with the class 2 being harder.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh you are hilarious!! But yeah class 2's are definitely very challenging! But look on the bright side, you did so good on your class 3! :)
ReplyDeletelol I agree with Marilyn - you should totally be a writer. And dont despair, I missed straight lingual calculus on a 1B on 3 of the lower anterior teeth...talk about embarrassing! At least you're getting your class III's out of the way and having great "learning experiences" from class II's. That's whats important! :)
ReplyDeleteTiuana,
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way the other day. I was able to finish my class 3 and didn't even miss a spot. Casuality? I am not sure but i can't think it was all skill for sure so a little miracle happened. Felt pretty good, ate my lunch feeling pretttttyyy goood...and then my class 2, super true 2 came along and couldn't get around it. What a shame! My scalers hid because i was abusing them and still didn't work well so....i feel for you and have gone through s similar experience. Keep up the good work!
