Dental Hygiene: February 2009
http://havinfun09.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2009. Today was my clinic simulation day. It was extremely buisy, but productive. In the morning I did a Pano on my sister and saw a 1a. Then I did an OD and x-rays on a pt I was hoping would qualify for boards. It was close, but not enough. I hope I can find a patient that reliable for boards. The whole thing went so smoothly. I didn't miss any calculus, Yeah! It was a good feeling to pass. Now I just need to find a patient for the real thing. Wednesday, February 4, 2009. I only f...

Dental Hygiene: January 2009
http://havinfun09.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2009. My VA day went well today. I had the class 3 in the morning. I was able to finish him, but it was only 3 quads because he was missing teeth. I missed two spots, both on the line angle of premolars. I was also able to do my ultrasonic PE. My afternoon patient was a very easy class 5. I didn't miss anything on him. Monday, January 19, 2009. I spent the whole time trying to find another patient, but was out of luck. Not a great way to start the semester. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Dental Hygiene: October 2008
http://havinfun09.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2008. I'm glad mockboards are over; clinic seems a lot less stressful now. I was a student examiner in the morning. It was nice to be able to see the flow of things before it was my turn. Tuesday, October 14, 2008. Tuesday, October 7, 2008. My patient this afternoon didn't speak any English either, but her son was there to translate. She was a new pt and a class 2. She will work for mockboards, Yeah! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This morning was very relaxing. Its incredible t.

Thursday, March 5, 2009. I found a class 4 patient. Yeah! I did 2 quads and scheduled him back for the other 2. It was very exciting. Especially after a morning with yet again another class 5. He is scheduled for April. Now I just need to find 4 more quads. It's a relief to have at least 2 quads done. Class 4's are impossible to find! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Today was an easy day. I had a class 5 in the mor. Im sick of no shows. View my complete profile.

Dental Hygiene: I'm sick of no shows
http://havinfun09.blogspot.com/2009/03/im-sick-of-no-shows.html
Thursday, March 5, 2009. I'm sick of no shows. I'm doing okay on classifications, but I need to find a board patient and I'm never going to find one if my patients never come! All I can say Janet is Ditto! I have the exact same problem and it seems like it is never going to go away. I just try to hope for a new better day. Your luck has got to change soon! March 5, 2009 at 4:42 PM. Sorry about your bad day. Hopefully things will start looking up! March 17, 2009 at 10:03 AM. Im sick of no shows.

Monday, March 3, 2008. Today I was CA with Jessica. It was a good day. I knew what I was doing this time, so that was good. I now have all my 1A's scheduled. I just need Perio! I'm really stressing about it. I don't have any, not one quad! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Dental Hygiene: September 2008
http://havinfun09.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 24, 2008. Tuesday morning I just had a 1B with a set of bitewings. It all went really well; I didn't miss any spots. His gums were really inflamed by his lingual bar. I gave him some floss threaders to use; hopefully he uses them . When he comes back in I am going to try to get used to the curved ultrasonic tips. Tuesday, September 16, 2008. I need to work on exploring. I still can't always feel the calculus. Monday, September 15, 2008. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I'm doing okay on classifications, but I need to find a board patient and I'm never going to find one if my patients never come! I had another no show in the afternoon and was unable to find someone to come in. I HATE wasting time. It bugged me so bad to not have a patient. I did sharpen all my instruments though, so at least I got something done this afternoon, just nothing productive. I found a class 4 patient. Yeah!

Tuesday, January 22, 2008. 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. Wednesday, January 16, 2008. Monday, January 7, 2008. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Dental Hygiene: April 2009
http://havinfun09.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 27, 2009. Thursday, April 23, 2009. In the morning I saw my board patient for a quad. It went well. It was good to see her one more time before my board exam. In the afternoon I did one quad of a class 4. I am now done with requirements. YEAH! Our last mockboard went so well. I had my real board pt, so I was kind of worried about how it would go. I didn't miss any spots! It makes me feel tons better about the real thing. I did miss one probe depth, but that was all. Yeah!
