Back to school

How was everyone's Spring Break '06? Mine was great... I missed you girls in Vegas but I myself went to Wendover Friday night on the "fun bus" and who doesn't love Wendover? Today in clinic I got another Class 1B done with Bwx and I was happy that the BWX only took me about 5 minutes to actually expose... then there's developing, cleaning, etc. But I feel like I am getting better. I kept on schedule and the only thing I didn't keep my goal time was on scaling which was 30 minutes or less and I think I took about 45.

My first full-mouth

Holy crap! I got my first FMX of the semester done and it was HARD! It took me a whole hour to do the FMX and 4 BWX without any retakes. My patient had a really small mouth so I had to use size 1 films on all of the anteriors but it feels good to have one done. I can't believe I have to do another one of those. At least I have one under my belt so hopefully I will feel more confident with the second one.

Two quads of class 2

Well today I finished two more quads of a class 2 and got done early enough to have started a second patient but I didn't really have a patient that wanted to come in just to get started today. It was a pretty stress-free clinic day and I got three PE's done! I felt confident in my scaling today and I am getting more used to the Ultrasonic but I just don't feel like it gets rid of that much calculus and I am having a little trouble not causing a little bleeding.
