Today went really well, I had a class V pt that I miss no calculus on. I should have used her as my exam. I have any Class V coming in this afternoon so I think I might do my exam on them. I felt a little nervous that I was not getting all the calculus off my patient this morning but I think she just had some rough surfaces that were part of her tooth anatomy. I can barely feel calculus much less tell the difference between a rough surface and calculus, I'm sure that will come with time. Overall I'm feel better and better about my skills and feel that i'm improving everyday. Last thursday at the VA was really good and I felt like I learned a great deal.
