I will tell you what the VA means to me.... Old men with fuzzy teeth!! ha ha I feel like this is all I get there. Plaque, plaque, plaque!!! Yuck, yuck, yuck!! Don't get me wrong, I have not had a patient there that I didn't have a blast with! I don't know why but I really love working there. My question is, Why don't they care that they have fuzz all over their teeth? I know you can feel it, taste it, and see it. Isn't it a wonderful feeling to slide your teeth across minty fresh brushed and flossed pearly whites??? I sure think it is! If I was the daughter of one of these men I would call my dad every morning and night to remind him to brush his teeth! LIFE IS BETTER WITH CLEAN TEETH!!!
Ok, maybe we can get into some reflection of the actually cleaning. I still don't love the ultrasonic, but it is handy to help remove plaque. I still need to remember to shove the tip all the way into the pocket.
My patients weren't too tough. The biggest thing I had to work around was personalities. ha ha but I enjoy that!
My PM patient kept hitting on me and grabbed me into a big hug when I called him out the waiting room... kinda yucky! But he kinda stopped by the end of the appt.
