Dent: 3 cavities

Today for the first time as a TA in 1st year clinic I got to be the patient. This was because we were doing Dent screenings and 3 of the 4 students in my pod had mouths full of virgin teeth. (I am insanely jealous.) So I let them practice charting my teeth and they all got to see/explore 2 of the 3 cavities that I was diagnosed with yesterday. :( It was somewhat difficult to act as patient and instructor because when they would ask "What is this?" I would have to strain to look inside my own mouth to try and tell them what they were seeing. Anyway, it is really a good experience to review this stuff each clinic session with the 1st years.
