Almost one appt. :(

Today my goal was to finish a 1B in one appt. I was so pumped cause I knew my patient and thought things would just get done fast! Boy was I wrong! I totally messed up on his BP and that took a lot of time to do again. That is really a dumb thing to waste so much time on.

My goal was to finish him, but I only got 3 quads done. What a bummer! I need to be faster! I have been talking to the girls about how to get faster and I hope I can figure it out. My patient was a great help in the clinic though. He knows Spanish so he was able to help to translate for another patient. I thought that was awesome!

What I want to do is take a scaler, feel calculus, and only do strokes that remove it. No fishing around. I want to locate it, and remove it. Quick and clean and then move on! I also need to start memorizing probe depths so I can write more than one tooth at time. Today I did a couple teeth at time sometimes, but I get nervous and start only doing one tooth. It is getting easier for me though!
