So I saw my first patient today that I didn't know!!! EEKS!!! I was SUPER scared! She was a really nice 19 year-old. The x-rays went perfect and the OD and OHI took a little longer than planned. She had TONS of calculus on her Lower anterior linguals! It was a SOLID WALL of CALCULUS! It was a blast!!! I used the ultrasonic for the first time today. I was SO scared that I'd take off all her gums and the cement for her lingual bar. I kept looking around for an instructor but there were none to be seen!!! So I just acted like I was a big girl and a long-time dental hygienist and went at it. It was fun! It took longer than I thought it would to blast off the calculus but it was fun! I only finished the LL quad, but MAN was it fun!
