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!
