Hi everyone! I'm am so excited to be a dental hygiene student at Weber State. I have worked hard to get into this program, and I will continue this tradition for the next two years. I am looking forward to achieve my goals and help you too.

Last quad of class 3
I brought my patient back who had high blood pressure. I saw her 3 weeks ago, and her blood pressure was 170/100. That is scary. She has never seen a doctor or taken blood thinners before. I referred her to a physician. The amazing part is that she went, and she is now taking care of her health. I got a physician's consult. I brought her back again. I was scared to see what her blood pressure was, but it was better. It was 144/79. That was much better. She was excited about the results. I only cleaned half her mouth, and I left the other half for my peer pal. I discussed OHI with her. She has a hard time flossing, but she got so excited when I demonstrated the interprox brush and the soft picks. It is these days that makes me feel like a good hygienist.
