Today was a great relax and practice day. We learned how to chart on the Dental Hygiene Assessment Form, the green one. When we have a new patient we go through their whole mouth and chart all previous restorations, and suspicions lesions, and abnormalities. This is another one of those things that is going to need some eye recognition practice. How can you tell the difference from a sealant and a composite filling?? That is rough! It's kind of fun that we get to color stuff on the sheet. I think I'm going to try to chart the stuff in my family member's mouths too!
I worked with madi today and she pretty much had her whole mouth memorized, so the charting when really fast. She was a great patient and let me play around with the scalers in her mouth, in the extra time that we had. I was really grateful to her for letting me practice.
Relaxing day in clinic.... loved it!!
