Can I just say how much I adore 1b's! So easy! That's what I had this morning and it was so nice! I actually enjoyed myself for once haha. In the afternoon I cleaned a patient that I saw last year in clinic. He is a class two and was really hard for me last time because he had a significant amount of calculus with really tight tissue. I missed a lot of spots last year, but this time I did really well, which is exciting because it shows that I am improving. I love that feeling.

This morning I had an easy 1a and then did the OD for my mockboard patient to make sure her probe depths were within 6mm and that everything looked ok. In the afternoon I finished up my class four and didn't miss any spots again. Boo yes! I rock haha at least until I miss fifty spots on a class two and get put right back in my place! I really do feel like class threes and fours are so much easier because they tissue to is fluctuant and the pockets are much easier to get into. That's why I'm worried about my mockboard because she has wicked calculus, but super tight tissue so we'll see what goes down with that. I might end up having a very humbling experience during the next mockboard. Anyways, I was able to pass off some PE's including LA injection, subgingival irrigation, and root debridement. I'm feeling pretty confident with my injections and only have a few left to give before I'm done with my LA requirements.

I'm baaacckkk! Last semester! Check! Today was the first day back in clinic and it wasn't too bad. I had may mockboard/ potential board patient come in for a full mouth of x-rays. We didn't start seeing patients until nine so that's pretty much all I got done on her. She was a hard patient to take x-rays on because she had such a small mouth. My patient in the afternoon ended up being two quads of a class four. Professor Wold told me I could either have 4 quads of a three or 2 quads of a four. I definitely took the class four quads! I'll take anything I can get man. It's gonna be tough to get eight whole quads of a four. Hopefully the professors will be generous. I did really well though and didn't miss a single spot so I am pretty proud of myself!
