Last day of clinic!

This semester has flown by!!! Today went really well. I did my very last PE today so everything is passed off. I also have plenty of extra quads which is great! I only wish more of them transfered over to next semester. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to go about doing clinic next semester. Part of me wants to just go board hunting and do screenings until I find the mockboard and board pts. I need...but I feel bad making so many people wait to get their teeth cleaned. What to do??? I guess I'll figure it out as I go. One more semester!

Lab

Last week went really well. We had lab in the morning and it was fun to learn how to transfer people from a wheelchair to the dental chair. We also got to take turns pushing eachother around in the wheelchairs down the hall. It was pretty fun and sooo relaxing. Unfortunately after such an easy morning I was in no mood to do any work in the afternoon. It did end up going really well though. I was able to complete 3 more quads of a 3 and 1 of a 2, so that was good!

Fabulous!!!

Today was fabulous! Everything went soooo smooth. I finished 8 more quads, and 4 PEs...plus some x-rays. It was great! Both of my patients were really good too. :) The only problem is I still need to pass off the blood glucose PE...hopefully someone will let me do it on them soon!

Finishing up!

Last Tuesday I saw my two 1A pts. that I needed. They were the cutest little girls! (4 and 5 years old.) It was a lot of fun! They had questions about everything and were soooo excited to get their teeth cleaned. Good job to their parents for helping out with that! They did such a good job, especially when I was taking their x-rays. That can be really hard for kids sometimes...especially since their mouths are so small. Even adults have a hard time biting down all the way with film in their mouths. They were great!

I was lucky to have a patient in the morning who really wanted me to take a full mouth set of x-rays, so that was awesome! (I really needed more PAs.) It looks like I have basically all the requirements done that I need. Just a few more PAs and the blood glucose PE. Maybe I'll get to do those this coming Tuesday. :)
