Crunch time!

Wednesday I saw another patient I didn't know. I was a little nervous when she wasn't there 20 minutes after she was supposed to be. She finally showed up. She was another 1B so I decided to do my second exam on her. She needed xrays so I did 4 BWX with the schick. I am so worried about the schick but one of the TA's helped me and it wasn't too bad at all. I didn't have any retakes but the TA pointed out to me that this patient's first year molars were all gone. I guess I should pay a little more attention when doing the OD. I was able to complete her in 1 appointment so that made me feel good. I think I am improving with my scale time but some days are harder than others because 1B's can be so different. Some more difficult than others. I have only had 2 quads of a class 2 so I'm getting a little worried about meeting those qualifications. I guess we've only been in school for 1 month so I shouldn't be too worried. I'll find them. Tomorrow I am seeing 2 kids. They are my best friend's kids and they are really good so it shouldn't be bad at all. I'm planning on using one of them as my exam and doing sealants so it should be exciting!
