First day of pt

I was unfortunate to get class 1B in my chair... now my !B are finished.  At least I got a pano and a set of BWXs in.  I couldn't believe how relaxing clinic was today.  I really didn't like clinic last year, but this year is going great.  I did my best not rescaling teeth... I just used my explorer.  My next goal is to print my tx plan before scaling:)  It is amazing how much you forget.

VA for the first time

First of all, I nearly slept during morning orientation b/c the room was absolutly cold.  Note... my arms get cold, but not the rest of my body.  I saw my first pt today, and I couldn't believe how fast my skills came back.  He was a 1B, but I got a pano, a set of BWXs, and FMS.  I do not like digital x-rays, but it is good to get some practice on a little bit of everything.  My goal is not to rescale teeth; I should be confident in what I do.

First day of clinic!

Well, I got sleep last night.  It was a relaxing day.  I get re-aquainted with the diagnodent, first-aid, and the x-rays.  The videos were somewhat entertaining, but it is good to get reminded to practice patient privacy.  So my goals this year is to pass clinic with an A.  Well, I will see about that.
