Indirect vision/extra oral exam

Clinic was great today! I passed off two more PE's and I'm done early so I get to blog. :) Today we learned how to use our mouth mirrors. It made it nice that we'd already gone over the seating possitions for seeing different teeth in the mouth so that I wasn't learning that for the first time today too. It was fun to get in there and look around and see how things work. It's amazing how much a mirror can help. Now I just need to keep practicing using it. I realized that indirect vision gets a little bit tricky. We also learned how to give extra oral exams today. I think it was a little bit more fun receiveing it than giving it. :) How many people get to go to school to get a massage? It was fun, and it's nice that these things are new to everyone so we can help eachother out. I can't wait for next week!

Nice job on passing of two PE's it always feels nice to get them done and over with. The indirect vision is really quite tricky for me any ways, I've been practicing with those sheets Prof Costly gave us, hopefully it helps. The extra oral exams definately feel nice, at first I felt a little akward giving someone else the exam but I've been practicing and getting more comfortable with it.
