Well my favorite patient came back! The only bad part is I finished him today so I won't see him again for at least another 6 months. Today was good however, I scaled 4 quads and only missed two areas which was good for me. Al was so patient and understanding too. I'm feeling more confident with scaling and I feel I'm getting better at adapting. The biggest thing I need to work on now is my posture. My back already gets sore and I can only imagine how it will be if I keep this up. I got a majority of the stains off of Al's teeth and he was extremely appreciative and was very keen on learning new things to help improve his oral health. He would be everyone's dream patient. When I walked him out he gave me a big hug. I couldn't have asked for a better patient.
I was also able to pass off my peer calculus removal PE. I did it on Danielle's patient and he was a 1B so there really wasn't much to get off, first of all because Danielle did such a good job scaling and I don't think he had much to begin with. It was a good experience going in an unfamiliar mouth looking for calculus. Overall today was a good day. We won't be seeing patients for a week and a half so I'll be back then smiling as big as ever!
