My father-in-law

Monday I saw my husband's step-dad. I knew he would be full of questions so I knew ahead of time that it would be a challenge to finish him in one appt. I planned on taking BWX on him with the schick, since I have only done scan x so far, but I found out that I have to do vertical BWX on patients older than 35. So once again I did scan-x. I was nervous to do the vertical ones but I didn't have to do any retakes. I might like vertical bwx better! He was a 1B so I was trying to hurry to get him done. When I had my scale check I missed quite a bit of sheet calculus on the lower anteriors. I wasn't seeing what my instructor was seeing. I was getting a bit frustrated. I need to use my air more because it is a lot easier to see the calculus. I think part of my problem is that I am horrible with indirect vision! That is another thing that I need to get better at. I ended up finishing him but I was rushing at the end. I just think it's stupid to have them come back to polish, floss, and apply fluoride so that is what I hurried through.
