Today clinic was good. I had a class 3 patient that i had before and she is the one that suffered from lock jaw but since we put her on muscle relaxers she did great today and her jaw did not even lock. My afternoon patient cancelled on me so I had to call my dad as an emergency so i could clean his teeth. Well all went well. I am excited I think we had like 4 more clinic times this semester!:)

My first official injection on a patient.

This morning I thought my patient was not going to show up so I called another and she was on her way when my patient showed up. I started the OD on her and it was really hard to see anything she bled a ton. Then I was ready to start her cleaning and she needed to be numb so I gave her the injections. She was my very first official patient I gave it too. I gave her and IA an infiltration and a mental. I didn't do that good of a job but for it being the first time on an official patient I guess it was not that bad. Then in the afternoon I had to little girls. That was a breeze. Today overall was a really good day.

Mockboard Day

Well today was a mockboard day and it did not start out very well. Last night I called my patient and she decided that she did not want to come so she cancelled on me. I was so mad! So I told my dad that he would have to come be my patient even though he would not qualify. Well my dad came and luckily he had 10 clicks in 2 quads that they let him qualify for the board. Normally 10 clicks is not acceptable but since it mockboard and our first one they let it slide by. When I was cleaning my dad I thought he was way to easy and I kepted feeling and scaling and things would not come off and then I would get all confused with his fillings that I ended up missing 5 spots out of the 10 I had. So I didn't do so good but I guess its ok for the first one. All I can say is that this was much easier than surgery and chemo.

Today clinic was good i had a class 3. Her jaw kepted locking so i had to stop really often but other than that it was a good day.
