"REAL" Patient day....

Can I just say today was great! I woke up and was so nervous. I thought I was really going to throw up! But little did I know it was going to be so good. My patient was amazing. X-rays went well, which I was scared for! I only missed 1 deposit, so excited about that. Overall great day...I can't believe that the semester is almost over and how much I have learned. It's an awesome feeling. Hope everyones day went great!

Worst day EVER!!!

Okay maybe it wasn't the worst but it sure wasn't fun. We learned how to use the air-powder polisher. First off it had the worst taste. It tasted like minty salt...so sick. Second it was a mess. It ended up everywhere. And last it hurt like crazy:) I seriously do not see myself using it on my patients any time soon unless they have major stains. NOT a fan. Then we learned how to place sealants. I have done it a couple of time before so it wasn't to hard, definitely not perfect at it...yet. I am sure I will get lots of practice:)

What a Relaxing Day!!!

Today was amazing:) I got to sit back in the chair and be the patient! I loved it, it was so nice to not have to worry about anything today. Natalie did a great job. I can't believe that we will be seeing "real patients" real soon. This makes me was nervous. I don't think I am ready...but I guess I probably will never be...
