A GLORIous Clinic Day

Well today was a great clinic day, or should I say GLORIous! My grandma came in and boy am I lucky to have so many family members that support me and want to help me out. She was great. Very positive, easy to work with, and just as sweet as always. She is a Class V and really didn't have that much calculus but she did have a lot of soft deposit. That is something I need to work on is being sure to completely remove ALL of the soft deposit. Instructor Vining gave me a good piece of advice and told me to run over each tooth using an exploratory stroke after I floss to make sure I've gotten it all. I used my ultrasonic scaler today. I was pretty nervous because I needed to pass off my PE too. I have used it before but not with an instructor nearby nor did I feel very confident with it. But after a few pieces of suggestion from Instructor Vinging I feel extremely confident with the ultrasonic scaler and I LOVE it! One more thing about today (I know I'm kind of rambling), I realized I really need to start working on my posture not only because all of the instructors have told me I need to but my back kills me after each clinic session. So today I focused on sitting upright, I even got complimented by one of the instructors and it was great! They weren't lying when they said bad ergonomics could end your career. I also think my new glasses are helping a lot because I can see a ton better.. Imagine that! Well as I said today was a good clinic today and gave me a boost of confidence I needed. I'm definitely walking out of here with a smile on my face :)
