My little studs!

Today is the last day of clinic! (Bittersweet)  I could not have asked for better patients for my very last day.  My husbands two nephews came all the way from Herriman to see me! They were so stinking cute and did so well! Through xrays, cleaning, sealants! They were my best patients yet! What little studs!

My Hubby.. He loves me..

Today my wonderful, sweet, adorable, whinny husband came to see me! I love him and I know he loves me, but he was the most whinny patient that I have had!  I kept thinking that I was hurting him when I was scaling because he was jumping.. but really he told me that he just didn't like the feeling of the scraping on his teeth.. what a baby! haha  Well I was pretty frustrated with him when he finally left... luckily he was sweet and after he left he sent me a text that said his teeth felt good and I was the best hygienist he ever had..(brownie points)! That's saying something too because his usual hygienist is Vining!

Fingers crossed... and.. He's a three!

Since I didn't get to do a full day last week I decided to do it today.  Well first I saw a 17 year old boy who was a 1B this morning.  Then was the real test.  I still needed two more quads of a class three to finish my requirements.  I had scheduled someone to do a screening last week.. but he canceled so I was bringing him in today to hopefully do an OD, XRays, and scale two quads of what I hoped would be a class three!  Well I did it! I even got done scaling the two quads I needed!  It was very different from my last class III, he didn't have a ton of calculus build up, but he did a TON of tobacco stain!

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)!
