Just What I Needed

So people always say everything has a purpose and I found that out today. I just got done seeing an extremely easy 1B patient and I found out the purpose of 1Bs. They are there to build up your confidence when you feel a little inadequate. It may sound ridiculous but flying through a whole appointment in not much time without missing any spots is one of the best feelings. Pathetic I know but it is the truth. Professor Alexander came by to watch me while I was scaling for a little bit and she told me to focus on keeping by toe  in the teeth when I working on the interproximals of the lower anteriors. But other than that she said I was doing really well. I took some xrays on this patient as well- 4 BWX and 2 PAs. He was extremely cooperative but had a very shallow mouth so it made it kind of difficult. I need to remember to look in the mouth before taking xrays to see how I need to adjust the PID and remember I usually need to move it more mesially. I still have a lot to improve on but I feel  a little better about my skill level than I have for the past few weeks. I just have to keep trying and working to improve.
