End of semester!!

Well, it is now the end of the semester! When looking back on my improvement from last semester to this semester, I ROCK! Every patient wasn't perfect, but in general I am able to clean quickly and effectively. I'd still like to be faster, but I think that my progress is good and I'll be ready to work in an office by the end of the year!

LAST DAY!!!

Today was another great day!!! I only had patients in the morning and had to take off the afternoon. Blessed day! My hubby was my 8am patient to finish up my PE's for the semester and to see if he qualified for the boards and HE DID! The only crux is that he need his wisdom teeth pulled and several teeth restored so if they even touch/remove his calculus....then he might not qualify anymore. Boo...
We'll see!
My second patient of the day was a class V recall from 4 months ago. I got him done in 1 hour! GO ME!

Arestin vs. periochip

My second patient of the day was a class V recall from 4 months ago. I got him done in 1 hour! GO ME!! Kami suggested that I use Arestin in one area of his mouth that wasn't healing, but he'd had periochip placed a while ago by a student and it made him dizzy so he was very aprehensive about using any medicines. I explained that Aresin wasn't the same medicine as periochip, but he still didn't really want it. He asked if he stepped up his homecare over the next 4 months to see if he can improve it on his own. He said that if the pocket didn't improve he'd let me place Arestin. Silly guy!

Lab day

Today was our lab day. The most exciting thing about today was that I had to take off the afternoon (because I came in on a Thursday). We we got through the lab and then I got to go home while everyone else had to stay!! HA HA HA!
We used the Velscope on Meagan and she had a FLAMING RED SPOT (it looked like lava) in her tonsils! It was SWEET to see it!

Nothin but fun!

This morning my patient thought that her appt was at 9, so when I called her at 8:15 she said she'd be in at 9. Well, at 9:10 she got here and I was super stressed to get her done. But I was super blessed and got her all done and I was only 10 minutes after checkout! She was 4 quads of Class II exam!
My afternoon patient was a patient that Shalyce needed me to see for her. He was a Sweetie! He was 4 Quads of a Class V. I got him done SO fast! I am super excited that I am improving on my time management! YAY me!!!

Surprise

I was a little nervous about my first patient b/c we'd had some bad past experiences, but he ended up being a very nice patient. 4 Quads of a 1B.
My next patient was another 4 quads of a 1B. She was a very nice lady. Nothing super exciting to report.
