Sarah's Dental Thoughts: October 2010
http://smdentalthoughts.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 31, 2010. I enjoyed what we were doing last Wednesday. I have done so many prophylaxis cleanings on patients in the past that it was second nature. I felt very confident in polishing Tori's teeth and making sure that the prophy cup flared underneath her gum line. I didn't do a fluoride varnish treatment on her, but it can't be too hard! Tuesday, October 26, 2010. It's all a blur. I practiced at home and got a decent sized chunk of calculus off of my husband's teeth! Let the calculus fly!

Thursday, April 12, 2012. We enjoyed a fabulous potluck lunch together, instructors and all! It was very enjoyable to sit down a eat a meal together. We had stuffed taco shells (is that what they were called, Kristie? Soup, salad, chips/salsa, and many desserts. Oh, it was so yummy! Thanks everyone for contributing to our feast! It was so good! This other student made the comment "oh a blood clot! I thought "no you dope, that isn't a blood clot. you cut off his tissue! Thursday, April 5, 2012. Water is g...

Sarah's Dental Thoughts: September 2011
http://smdentalthoughts.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 30, 2011. Are coming easier than I expected. I am so grateful for this fact. I thought that getting all of my requirements was going to be an absolute pain in the you know what! Last week I made a valiant attempt at seeing two patients in the morning. One was my wonderful husband who needed a cleaning desperately and the other was my patient needing to get an a transplant list. I got Trevor in and out of there within an hour and 20 minutes. Feeling good! Thursday, September 15, 2011.

Monday, November 29, 2010. Thanks for being patient with me today as I poked a proded your teeth. You were so good about letting me do what I needed to without any complaints. I know that you don't really like to have me instruct you on how to take care of your teeth, but you took it like a champ! I really felt like I am starting to understand the full flow of how clinic is to work. I almost and did make some stupid mistakes. I almost forgot to put the safety glasses on my patient (critical! I don't get ...

Sarah's Dental Thoughts: March 2011
http://smdentalthoughts.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. My first class III. I had no idea how hard a class III was going to be. I convinced my patient to have x-rays taken today since it had been a year. He seemed reluctant at first, but I turned on the persuasion and he consented. I am up to 9 sets of bitewing x-rays! Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Trying to do too much. Instead of placing the drum on L1 I placed it on L2. I won't be making that mistake again. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My first class III. Trying to do too much.

Karlie's Dental Hygiene Stuff. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. So, this didn't happen in clinic, but this is proof I've got dental hygiene brain 24/7. I was teaching a tumbling class tonight of kids of various ages. I was spotting this one girl and looked at her teeth and they all looked really small for how big she was. So I asked her how old she was and she is 7. Then I asked her a question I already knew the answer to. She has lost no teeth and is 7 years old! What if she has no permanent teeth? But any...

Karlie's Dental Hygiene Stuff: Last Thursday Clinic!!
http://karliedh2012.blogspot.com/2012/04/last-thursday-clinic.html
Karlie's Dental Hygiene Stuff. Saturday, April 14, 2012. The very last real clinic day of my life! I had a whole bunch of good stuff planned to do. 7 quads of a III. On Wednesday my morning patient cancelled. Shoot! I didn't have the will power to scramble to get someone so I left my morning open and planned to help out fellow students. That went well. I did help out and we didn't have CA so I really was helpful. Then in the middle of the morning guess who calls me? It was a very good pot luck!
