Last clinic session

I was nervous that my class IV pt wouldn't show. I needed her last 2 quads to meet all my requirements. She did show and I was greatful. I worried about the deadlines of everything and am glad to have met them all. Now that everything is over, it is with emotion that this is the last time for doing clinic with the professors. I have really enjoyed my time here.

Mock anethesia

Things went really well!!!! I felt confident. I knew where I messed up when my needle card slipped and slid into the sharps container. :( Ill have to practice that one.....

Hard Patient

This afternoon I was finally able to do an OD on my last mock board patient. I really struggled with her for mock boards. Today after doing probe depths and taking time to get a closer look at things, I am convinced it is concrete on her teeth. She literally has calculus caps on the rest of her posterior dentition. I am grateful she was given to my by someone who has already screened her and that was the best quad for mock boards. I feel bad for the condition her teeth are in and know that it will take quite a bit of work to get the rest of her clean. I secretly was hoping that she was a board patient. But I do not think I want to set myself up for a failure if I used her as a board patient. Keep looking!
