Bad luck Wednesdays!

So at the beginning of the semester it seemed like every Wednesday i would have my patients cancel at the last minute.  Well today I had scheduled to come in morning and afternoon to make up a day.  Well last night one of my morning appointments canceled rescheduled someone else.. well on my way in this morning both of my morning appointments canceled! ARGH! Well so much for my make up day.. So I went and got my hair dyed and cut to put me in a better move and came in for afternoon clinic where i finished up my mother-in-law which went well.. and take a Pano and Kelsi which didn't go so well.. lame, now I have to do a retake.. I hate bad luck Wednesdays!

Braces?! I don't know how to do that...

Today I saw a 1B patient that had braces.  I have never cleaned a patient with braces,  another student had asked me if I could see her and I had no idea i was going to be cleaning braces until right before the patient got there.  I started the cleaning portion using the air powder polish (which also passed of a PE.. YAY).  I think that this saved me a lot of time to start with the polish! Well overall everything went well.  I did diagnose some sealants but I didn't get to do them so hopefully we can get her back to finish those!

what a good family!

I have the best family!  After Spring Break last week I couldn't find a patient to come in, luckily my mother-in-law said she would come and be my patient.  We didn't get to the cleaning today because we had some issues with xrays today.. I was still very thankful to just have a patient in my chair.

She loves me!

Today I had a really awesome beautiful patient.. It was my Momma!  She was so nice to come in and see me and since they have switched insurance, coming to me will save them money! Anyway.. today we did a pano BWX and some PA's.  We wanted to see if there was a possible "suspicious lesion" in the anteriors.  Not that we were hoping for one.. but my brother in dental school was looking for one more patient for his boards.. so it would have been nice.. but everything looked good (oh well)!

Darn that Tenacious Calculus!

Today I finished up my class III/II patient.  Man it really takes time to get in there and get everything out!  My patient was so sweet though.  I was surprised she never wanted to be numbed.  She was a trooper! I am getting a much better feel of Gracey's and I think they are such a great tool! Also can I just say.. I love my swivel ultrasonic!
