My turn to be the Dental Hygienist!

Today was a whirlwind!!! Holy Smokes! 5 PE's in one day! Let's not play that game again! YIKES!!

Madi was my patient all day and I had to do everything all the way through OHI. Probing, and universal instrumentation was pretty rough today. Her tissues were really tight so it was hard to go subgingivally. Adaptation, Anterior Instrumentation, and Treatment Planning weren't too bad though. I didn't feel like I had enough time to do anything all the way right today. Taking pictures with the intraoral camera was fun! Charting was rough. I just can't seem to figure out what to write where. I was surprised at how well my probing depths matched Instructor Hemsley's. They all didn't match, but it was pretty close the whole time.

I need to work more on probing, posterior instrumentation, and charting!!

THE END.
