Final Days of Clinic :)

This post it going to be about my final 3 days in clinic that went extremely well and they were really relaxing. One of the days I had my little brother come in and I was able to take 4 PA's on him since I have been a little bit behind on PA's throughout the semester. I was also able to pass off air powder polishing and do a sealant as well. Kole didn't really like the air powder polisher , but that is okay, who does? That is what little brothers are for. Jen was also able to pass off air powder polishing on him as well. I'm glad we could both get our PE's out of the way on him.
My second to last day of clinic I saw my awesome peer pal Karen! She has been so great to me throughout the year and I wish her all the best luck. I was able to take 5 PA's on her. Whew, my last ones. Dang PA's! Then I was able to hurry and clean her teeth. She was a great patient ha ha, I appreciate her coming in for me. My last patient of the semester was my sweet mom. I was grateful I was able to clean her teeth as well. She has quite a bit of recession and I was very grateful to teach her that she should be using an extra soft toothbrush and teach her not to force her floss in and out like she does. It was fun to have her come, and to hear her tell me how good I did and how clean her teeth felt.
I have learned a lot throughout clinic this past semester and I hope that I will be able to remember it all through the summer. I can't wait to have more fun experiences and to learn so much more. It has been a great year and I can't believed I survived my 1st year of dental hygiene school!

Finally!

Today my goals consisted of being able to finish a patient who I finally got to come back by 9:30 and also take a FMX series of Xrays on my mom. So I finally was able to get a hold of a girl who is a student here at WSU that I saw at the very beginning of the semester and only got to OHI. She was extremely busy and I didn't know If I was going to be able to get her to come back. Well she finally responded to a text I sent her and told me she could come any wednesday, but she would just have to be done by 9:30. So I scheduled her and knew it would be a challenge getting her done by 9:30 since she had braces. I ended up getting done right at 9:30 which was awesome and she was very grateful.
I then had my mom come in so I could take a FMX series on her since I am so behind on my PA's it went very well and I only had to do one retake on a BWX, which I thought was great. All in all it was a great clinic session and I got a lot accomplished. A few more steps then I have met my requirements! Wahoo

Nephews :)

Today I had my two nephews Jace and Nash come in to get their teeth cleaned. I cleaned Jace's teeth first and he did very well of course! :) I also was able to take a pano on him, which I think he thought it was very cool. I also let him help me develop it, which he thought was even better. He was a great help and I am so glad he came in to help me meet my requirements, ( he even skipped out on going dirt biking to come help me). Then I cleaned Nash's teeth and he did so so good for only being four. He loved the silly straw, I think it was his favorite part. He also had a lot of sugar bugs on his teeth and I told him that the sugar bugs make the cavities. He felt kind of bad that he had some many sugar bugs and he told me that next time he came to get his teeth cleaned he wouldn't have any on his teeth. So needless to say it was a fun relaxing day in clinic for me.
