My class 3 patient came back from lunch and was ready to just finish up, so we got her numb and got started. It seemed like it took forever for only having one quad left but she was finally done. Hurray! I'm sure she couldnt wait to be done finally. She's from logan and that was her third time back. She was really great about it all though. We had a lot of extra time at the end so we went over OHI for a long time, which was great because normally at the end your hurrying to get the patient walked out on time. This was my last day of clinic for the semester and whole first year! Woo Hoo! That feels great.
today I had my class 3 come for the last time but we had to have her all day in order to get her done. So came in the morning and I did ok I thought on her first quad but the second when i felt like I did better I missed more than I ever have. we ended up walking her out like 45 minutes late because she was numb so we figured I should finish her then, rather then after lunch when she wasn't numb anymore. She brought 3 kids with her and her husband so watch them while they weren't being seen. So she made it easy and also really cared about what she needed to do with her kids and her teeth, and said she would like her husband to come in next semester.

Well i didn't have a patient today and wasn't even going to come because i have a full day coming up for my class 3 but i just thought i would pass off a few pe's on my husband. So i had him come in and passed off the intra oral camera, the air powder polisher, and after he left i did the peer calculus removal evaluation. Then there was a walk in that wanted an appointment so i cleaned everything up and put her in and we got done with hh, od, and 2 quads. She had a lingual bar and tons of build up on both sides of them. So i was pretty happy with what i got done today other then there was sooo much that i left clinic really late! but I atleast got an extra couple quads done and should hopefully get another 4 done next wednesday.
today i had my 5 year old nephew and 2 year old niece come in. The 2 year old was adorable of course and by making it fun, she endured it and did really good for a 2 year old but it was really hard to do much on. My nephew did awesome and was super excited to be there and tell me all about his pirates of the carribean wi game! So that was really fun. even for those two small appointments i felt like there was soo much charting to do. Im not used to having 2 patients come in, even if they were short appointments. But it was really fun having them there for my patients. Is always nice to get a break with someone you know and they're excited to be there too.
today I saw a patient that had really bad teeth. as i was probing then chunks were just falling off. there was a lot to get and on top of it he was a gagger just trying to get to the back tooth, he had a huge tongue that was always in the way pushing things around and a very strong bottom lip! Plus...he did not want to be there at all! then he refused to wear the protective eyewear. It was a lovely appointment. Needless to say I think we were both glad when it was done. Just one of those days ya know?
