Class 3

Today I had my class 3 patient come in. I was planning on just taking my time since I have 4 appointments available for her if I need to use them. I had Instructor Caldwell get her numb and it made me more comfortable while scaling and I 'm sure it was more comfortable for my patient. I finished one quad and had a scale check. Surprisingly enough I only missed 3 spots! I was pleasantly surprised. It was awesome to see the calculus break off while I used the ultra sonic. I have learned to really like the ultra sonic. Hopefully that won't hurt me in the long run. I was able to finish 2 quads but the second one I missed a couple more spots. I loved cleaning my class 3 patient. It means a lot more when you can actually see the calculus coming off. The only bad thing that happened today was that my patient didn't bring any money to pay. So I had to pay for her. She is planning on coming back Wednesday so hopefully she will remember her money!
