Clinic

I really like the PSR because I felt comfortable probing and you didnt have to sit there and write every measurement down. I finely started feeling better about probing the distal of the 2nd molars. I also had a canker sore one my tongue which made me uncomfortable being the patient I passed off two PE today, flouride and instrument sharpening which I felt good about. Overall today was a good day.

clinic

Today was really fun, I liked sealents alot. I passed off my selective polishing PE which I felt good about. The sealents werent as hard as I was expecting, I just need to make sure that I dont use too much so I dont have to end up scaling. I see why its so important to have the dr. check out the teeth before sealing them. Overall today was a good day.

clinic

Today was interesting, I never dream the air powder polishing was going to work that well it was awsome. I got very dirty from it though, I felt like there was powder everywhere. I also loved our protective gear. I passed off my eagle soft walk out PE which went well. I felt a little lack of time because the stuff was not ready for our pod when we got there. Overall today was fun I like the air powder polishing esp. on the pennnies.

Today has been interesting trying to sharpen my instrutments, I felt like I was making them more dule at first. I started getting my angle down and started seeing a difference on my working end. I liked using the oil on the stone because I felt loike it slid better. Using our ultra sonic on our typodeonts was exciting. I passed off my intra-oral camera PE and felt good about it. Overall today was a pretty layed back day.

clinic

Today was really fun, learning how to polish was not as hard as I was expecting. It felt weird to brush and floss someone elses teeth. I passed off my anterior instrument PE, which I felt good with. The flouride treatment was good, but my teeth feel disgusting I cant wait to brush them. Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!

Clinic

Today was way fun, some people had parts of their costumes on. I really enoyed just being able to try scaling with all my different instruments. I like the posterior teeth and am getting better at the lingual surface. I feel like I am getting the angulation and adaption alot better, I need to work the feel of what I am actually scaling now that I feel better with the motion of scaling. We have our halloween party today it should be fun.

clinic

Today was a very productive day, I felt like I learned so much. Ginda our second year instructor was so helpful. I feel that scaling posterior teeth is easier than anterior teeth. I really enjoyed today and had a lot of fun. I liked our pod wrap up and learning about personal space with patient, it will be very helpful when I see real patients.

Clinic Today

Clinic today went by very fast, I felt a little strapped for time. I feel good about passing off my PE. I could have used more time for scaling the anteriors. I thought the intra-camera was really cool I like it alot. I feel like I am getting faster with things. I am getting use to putting everything together. I'm excited to start scaling posterior teeth.

clinic 10/17/07

Today was really fun, I really felt like I was understanding things. I went home and practiced exploring which I feel lots better about. I passed off my probing PE which I felt much better about. Our instructor today was really helpful. I also like not charting today and just worked on our typodont and each other. Overall I really enjoyed today, it was a good wed.

clinic 10/15/06

Today was one of the most difficult days for me in clinic so far, I passed off the exploring PE which I still need to work on alot. I felt like we have practiced probing more than exploring. I liked learning about the different interestments, it starting making more sense what was what. I feel really overwhelmed today, but I'll get through it.

clinic

Clinic was way fun today, I really like using the disclosing agent on each other. I never realized how easy it is to miss places when flossing and brushing. I'm starving my lunch was not very good today. Anyways I passed off to PE's the eagle soft one and pen grasp, I felt very comfortable with both of them. I'm still haveing some problems with probing but today was overall a good day, but I'm not excited for the drive home.

clinic

Today was alot better as far as probing goes, I felt like I was getting the angles better. I pasted off my extra-oral PE which I was nervous about. I feel lots better about the green sheet and am feeling more comfortable with the blue sheet but not completely. I need to work understanding the blue sheet a little better. Overall I felt I am understanding things.

Clinic

Today was really frustrating while probing I felt like I couldnt get into the sulcus very well, but i'm sure with practice i'll get better. I passed on my extra oral PE which I felt good about. I think things are coming together better with charting and doing over and over again.

clinic

Today was really fun and scary because we did probing on each other. I feel more comfortable with understanding how to read a probe after today, but I still need to work on the technique of using it. Practice makes perfect, I need to practice on the mandible and lingual sides because we did have enough to get to that today in class. It was fun actually putting everything that we learned in class and on the modules together in clinic.

clinic

Today was really fun, I feel like am understanding exploring alot more than on monday. I am still a little scared to go under the gums on my pod. I past off my vitals PE today which i felt good about. I plan on working on exploring at home on my typeodont. Clinic is getting funner day by day.

Clinic

Today was way fun we got to explore on each other. I learned a lot about the explorer instrument. I got more use to fulcruming and felt more comfortable with the mirror. We started out with the fake patient and then tried it on a pod partner which I felt was alot easier. I feel more comfortable with the anterior teeth than the posterior teeth.

clinic

Today was really interesting, we did the intra-oral exam. I liked looking and learning about peoples mouths. Its really helping me learn everything when we have to start the begining with our pod parnter, like taking the blood pressure, the extra-intra oral exams and writing in charts. I pasted off my hhx pe today which was a hard pe so far because of all the different things and the length of it. Today went by alot faster because we were working with each so much.

Clinic

Wow clinic today was a little more confusing but I started to understand better. I really enjoyed getting the extraoral exam done. I didnt realize until today how much we really look for in the extra oral exam. Trying to fulcrum and think about what surfaces you are doing was hard for me. Fulcruming was more difficult in some spots than others. Overall today I learned a lot.

9/12/07 Clincal

Clinic started out a little slow, we read from the clinic manuel and everyone was a little sleepy. Then it got more exciting when we started taking vitals. The blood pressure was alittle hard for me to hear but after a few trys started to hear it better. I plan on going home and practicing. I also pasted off my patient positioning PE. I feel comfortable with all the clock positions. Overall it was a pretty productive day :)

09/10/07clinical

today in clinic we went over HHX and HHX/RX I feel like it is coming together better and making more sense. When having my HHX evaluated I realized how important it is to remember ALL medications that you are taking and there names. I really liked the drug book, its amazing how important and handy it is. I feel more comfortable doing my case study HHX now because of today.

Clinic

In yesterdays clinic I felt like I got a ton accomplished I pasted off two PE's, setup and cleanup. We also went of the clinic asst. description which I think will come in handy if the furture. I liked putting our own chart together. We also went over how a chart should look and what needs to be done in the chart, which was alot. Overall the clinic was good and i'm liking more and more.

day 2 in clinic

I pasted off two PE's which i fell very good about. I thought that it was cool to work on the fake mouth peices with out mirrors. Getting use to the 8 oclock and 12:00 o clock was weird at first but got use to it. I learned about the teeth angles and the different teeth surfaces. No parking ticket today yeah!!!!!!

Day 1 Clinical

Today was my first day of Clinical and I learned a lot about our attire and how to keep your unit clean. We also put our instruments away and learned that i will need to get a penical box to help store some of my things. I learned how important it is to do things a certain order when gloving and wiping things down. Overall I consider this a good day other than being late and possibly getting a parking ticket.
