First day back!!

Today was our first day back to clinic and I think I got a little of everything today! My first patient was M.... who came into the clinic to make an appt and a 1st year lead her back to the wet lab where Shalyce and I were sitting and so I scheduled her. She spoke some english-enough that we could communicate pretty well. She came with her caravan of 2 kids-which she wanted to come back with her. Luckily for me (unluckily for them) Abby and Kelsie didn't have success with the am patients and it wasn't too crowded having 4 people in my operatory. She told me she hadn't been in for 10 years (I did a little happy dance-the happy tooth dance as Prof A calls it) and asked if we could do a FMX!! Well, she agreed and I was off to set up the x-ray room. I set up the 18 x-ray plates and went to get my patient. As I went to put a film in her mouth she pops out a lower partial denture! Oh man! So I decided I should probably check to see what other teeth she had. Well, she had 4 upper teeth and only 9 lower! So, needless to say my dreams of a FMX were shattered!! But I got 6 PA's and then it was off to clean. She was only 2 quads of a class V, but I got her done and got to clean her partial for her. Her kids were pretty funny people and the little boy never stopped talking!! It was a good appt.
My 2nd patient was an older gentleman that ended up knowing my gramps! He was sweet! He was really patient with me and just let me go to town on his teeth. His appt felt forever long-but he was a little trooper and hilarious!! I got him all done today and he was 2 quads of a class II and 2 quads of a class V. It was a pretty productive day.
