Polishing day


Today was wonderful! We disclosed, then polished what prophy paste on half of the mouth, then brushed the other half with a toothbrush and then disclosed again. It was a blast! Sarah was my patient today we had so much fun!!!! It was kind of weird to brush someone else's teeth, but it was cool to prophy because I've done that before many times. It never ceases to amaze me how much dental assisting school has helped me as I've been working along.

When it was my turn to be Sarah's patient we had a blast! She polished away and as it came time to brush she brushed and brushed and brushed and brushed and brushed. Then she took a look and missed some spots on the lower linguals. So she brushed and brushed and brushed and brushed again. Well, all of that tenacious biofilm on those lower linguals were tricky and so she brushed again.....so......15 minutes later of brushing she got it. Then I disclosed again and there were many places that still had plaque on the side where she prophyed so......yep.....you guessed it......she brushed again. We laughed for like 5 minutes straight! I just love clinic sometimes. Sarah is a darling hygienist! Props to ya girl!
