Aargh!

Today I had another cancellation from Bryan, my class 4 patient. So I called and convinced mom to come and be my patient. It was a very frustrating experience. I had a hard time getting anything done she has the most sensitive teeth I have ever worked on. And to top it off, she wouldn't let me get her numb! So I was frustrated cause I didn't get anything done. Then in the afternoon, I was seeing a 1B and a 3, and I hurried through the 1B, but not fast enough. The class 3 had to leave at 2:30, something he had failed to mention. So, I just feel like I didn't get anything done today! I cannot see any more class 1B's I really need some perio patients!

So things didn't go exactly as planned today. I was supposed to see two 1A patients this morning but only one showed up. Things went really great on him. And then in the afternoon I was supposed to see two more 1A patients and a 1B. Well when mom found out that one student was planning on cleaning both kids teeth she was pretty upset, so needless to say, Kathleen saw the other child and I saw one child. But it turned out okay, I got some sealants on him also. Then I saw my 1B and got through OD. It was a pretty uneventful day.

So today my patient didn't show this morning. Luckily a lady called in and wanted to get in right away. So I was able to get her done, she was a class V so it was nice to get things moving in the perio direction. Then this afternoon I saw a class II patient and finished her up, actually I already had her OD finished so it was nice to just jump in there and scale!

Almost There!

We are back and in the full swing of things! I had two 1b patients today and I realized that I really need to start using my explorer. I just have to stop missing spots, so I need to master this skill this semester. I missed too many today so it is time for an intervention!Q
