Wow today was crazy getting to school the snow storm was pretty bad. Multiple students had no patients because of the storm. I was suppose to have two patients again but my first one couldnt make it and had to be rescheduled. my dad was there as my second patient which worked out. I got the rest of his OD and OHI done today and plan on two more appointments with two quads each. Hopefully everything will work out.

Today has been the best day so far, my boyfriend came in which might have had something to do with it but also he is a class 1b which I have not had yet. It was nice not to have to worrie about a ton of calculus. His x-rays went GREAT and they were conventional. I finished him so he wont have to come back, which was a great self-esteem boost. Today was a good feeling and made me feel like I can do this.

Today was interesting becuase I tried to see two patients in one day. My first patient could only come in for 45 mins and was a class III which doesnt give you much time to do much. I was a litttle discouraged with her appointment jsut because I didnt even get a quad done and at this rate with only 45 mins she will take lots of appointments to finish. My second pt was my dad which went a little better. I did full mouth x-rays on him and I learned very quickly that digital is a lot hard to do PA's then with conventional film. I got part of his OD done but not all so I dont know what his classifcation will be.

Today was the first 1a I have seen. The cleaning went well and then her mom wanted me to put on sealents which she ended up needing 14 of them. Wow, this was a lot of sealents to do in one apointment, not to mention they were 20 mins late. I completed 12 of them because the other two werent fully erupted teeth and I didnt feel comfortable enough getting them completely Isolated. Today made me feel more confident and faster at sealents. I learned that it can be alot easier to do two teeth adjacent to each other at the same time.
