1st patient

Today went a lot better than I thought it would. I had Kaitlyn come back to be my patient since last semester I wasn't able to scale anything on her. I was pretty excited because I would be able to get all 4 quads done. The biggest problem I had was figuring out if I had the right end. I used the Nevi and I think I like it. I had my first scale check and I only missed one spot! I was so happy. Then I was able to finish the other quads. I missed 3 or 4 spots on those but I felt really good about it. I learned that I hate scaling the UR quad! It is so difficult for me as a lefty! Hopefully I will get better. I was able to finish scaling, polish, floss, and apply fluoride. I am worried about my new patients that I will be seeing. I definately won't be completing them in one appointment! I hope I can just stay calm. The TA's are a big help too. They understand exactly what we are going through! Til next time!!!
