Alberto

Today I was able to see Alberto again. It was a good appointment! He was another class II, which I don't need, but we had a good time. He asked me if it would be ok if he came in everymorning so I could clean his teeth. It went pretty smooth and I think that he is one of the only people that has actually listened to my with OHI. His OH condition had improved TONS from the previous week! YAY!

Bob

Today i saw the nicest patient! He was supposed to be a class V-and I assumed he'd be a class IB and then I was going to hurry so that I could see a child patient that Natalie had found for me. Well, he ended up being a class II, which I didn't need! I feel badly because I can't just tell him that I don't need him and pass him on to someone that does because that would be unprofessional. So I asked Jess if she could see my little patient and I'd just finish cleaning Bob. It was a good day and he was an amazing patient! Oh, and today was the first time that I found 6 and 7mm pockets!!! It was amazing how the probe literally just drops into those pockets. It was FUN day!

UG!!! Today was a nightmare!!! My patient called me at 7am and told me she was having terrbile back pain and counldn't come in!! She was my class III and denture patient!!!! I WAS LIVID!!! And she was my patient for next monday too! So, I got on the phone and had some people that knew spanish talk for me and at around 9:30 FINALLY I had a patient come in (Alberto). He needed x-rays and he was a class II at 16 years-old!!! Well, I just got through the OD and he'll be coming back next week. I'm just glad I got to see a patient!!!

Michael

Today I finished up my patient that is a drummer in a band. It was a really easy cleaning and we got done pretty fast and it went smooth. Not much to say......

Celina

I saw Celina today. She was a wonderful patient! She understood all that we did and was great! I got some x-rays done on her and she was a class II for me!!! YAY!!! I am getting faster with my patients!!! Although she was a class II I got her done in ONE appointment WITH taking x-rays!!! *mini party for me!!*

Nick and Caroyl

Today was a doosy!!! I saw Nick who was an 11-your-old and I was crossing my fingers that he would be a 1A because I needed some of those....however, he was a 1B. But he had braces so that was a fun experinence to clean someone with braces. I was kind of trying to see if I could see 2 patients on the same day, and so I say Caroyl later on that day. I chose for her to come in because she only had aobut 10 teeth and a full upper denture. She came in with her husband (full upper and lower denture) and I gave all of these dentures away to other students because I didn't have time to see them and because I have another patient coming in with 2 partials next week. It was fun and super easy to clean Caryol's mouth. All in all a good day, but I was WAY behind.

Darah!
