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.

More on LA
So... I need a little bit of practice on the upper left PSA. Jen taught me a new trick. Simply, use your pointer finger and drag it along the buccal mucosa until you feel a depression posterior to the 2nd molar. That is your spot. Instead of using the thumb to pull the cheek... use your pointer finger. Sure its hard to get the angles right b/c of the resistance, but it's possible. Also for the IA, it is hard to see the premolars when the lip is covering it. The corner of the mouth is your angle. It works.... Ha ha ha... I'm going to nail that from now on! Good learning experience day today!!! Thanks Jen!

I love those two tricks. I too have used them thanks to Dr. Naylor and they truly do work!
