Today I got to know Danielle inside and out.. Inside and out of her mouth of course. We did intra-oral exams on each other today and it was actually kind of fun to start working in someone's mouth. I still am a bit awkward but I liked it! It was a bit foreign, the whole mouth thing and all the anatomy of it but it was interesting to feel all the structures and hopefully it made me learn a little bit. Then I was able to pass of my Instrument Grasp and Fulcrum PE today and I did it on Danielle not my typodont. She was pretty brave to let me in her mouth with sharp instruments but I successfully didn't poke her and passed off both PE's. It always feels good to pass them off- They seem to stack up pretty fast but today was a good catch up day. I need to pass off the Health History PE on Wednesday so I'm looking forward to having that over with.
Then in radiology (I guess I should have talked about it first considering I do have it first) we practiced taking digital bitewings. We did it both on Scan X and Schik. I have come to the conclusion I don't love Schik nor do I love Dexter #2- He gave me a tough time today trying to open his contacts on the pre-molar bitewing. But according to Instructor Vining he said Dexter #2's dentition is a lot more messed up than any patient we will see so that's good to know!
Well, well I'm done writing for today and believe it or not I'm still smiling. Why? I don't know but I won't complain. Until next time.....
