Halloween

Today was fun. I thought that polishing was not very hard. Fluoride wasn't very hard either. Today was good. Have a happy halloween.

Today we practiced posterior scaling. I didn't have a partner to practice on today so I used the typodont. I got to practice a little bit on a real person so that was good. I thought today was good. I like to be able to practice. We get out early so we can go to the Halloween party. I think that will be fun.

Today we practiced posterior scaling. It was good, but I know that I need to practice. Getting more practice will help me feel more comfortable. I passed off two PE's, which I am glad because now I won' t have to worry so much about being late because I am one PE ahead. Hopefully, I stay ahead.

Fast day

Today was a crazy day. We practiced doing everything up to an OHI. It was good practice. I got another pe done today too. Today went by super fast. It was good though.

Scaling

Today in clinic we practiced scaling. I thought it would be harder than what we actually did. I think it has helped to practice scaling and probing for at least getting a feel for instruments. I thought it was a good day. I also passed off my probing PE. I feel like I am getting better. I am a little more comfortable so I think as time goes by and more practicing I will feel a lot more comfortable.

instrument set up

Today we looked at all of our instruments and learned what they were and when and where to use them. I hope I remember for Wed. We also practiced on each other. We worked up through the OD. I also passed off my explorer PE. I was a little nervous, but I did okay on it. Today was a good day. I felt like I got a lot done.

Probing

Today went better than on Monday. I feel like we had more time to do things and I wasn't already flustered by getting a misconduct. Today was fun too, because we did the disclosing agent on each other. I had more plaque than I thought I would have. Two PE's were due today too. I passed off the treatment plan PE and the instrument grasp PE. The two PE's weren't bad at all to pass off. We also practiced probing. I still feel awkward at probing. I think it will still take some more practice for me.

Today was not a good day. I couldn't find my instruments. I found out that I left them in the ultrasonic and I got a misconduct warning. I won't leave them in the ultrasonic today. I did pass off the intraoral PE. I feel like today was super busy and I felt a little flustered to get things done that I needed to. I hope Wed. goes better.

Probing

Well, today we practiced more probing. I did a full mouth probe on Michelle. I think I did okay. It felt a little better today than on Monday. I will have to work on where to be in my chair and positioning better. I passed off my extraoral PE. I actually liked that one because I felt like I knew it pretty well. I will have to pass off the intraoral PE next time.

probing

Today we practiced probing on each other. I actually thought it was good to practice on each other rather than on the typodonts because the typodonts are hard to tell what you are suppose to be doing. Over all I think it went pretty well today. I passed off the mirror and fulcrum PE, which also went well. I will have to look over the extraoral and intraoral PE so I can pass them off next time. At least I want to pass off both of those PE's.
