Learning opportunity and MOCK BOARD PATIENT!

This morning my patient was much like my hubby in that he was in a lot of dental pain and hasdn't seen a dentist for about 10 years. He had lost a lot of his teeth (mostly molars) but he was 3 quads of a class III! YAY! He was so sweet! I cleaned him and scheduled him back for a 3 month recall appt after boards. He also wanted his 10-year-old daughter to come in to help prevent what he is going through.
My pm patient ended up being my MOCKBOARD patient! He let me do anesthesia on him (he has a hard time with tooth pain).
