Hygiene love

So here we go.
I have learned SO much the past couple weeks it's incredible.

Today I worked on my modified pen grasp on the lower anteriors.
I also am learning to use the blue boa... love that thing.

I would like to definitely get faster with my patients. Today my time was pretty good with my 1B but it took FOREVER to do everything else.
I don't know how I could finish two patients in one session that needed x-rays. It's too crazy.

I really need to find a mockboard patient so next week I am going to do a couple of screenings.

Thank goodness!

So I am so thankful right now.
I am actually getting a lot of the classifications that I need and it's going really well.
I feel like I've improved by leaps and bounds in the last 2 weeks.
Dr. Hanson is a gem. She is an amazing clinician and she will show you anything that she thinks will help you excel.
I'm happy that I'm getting things done before I have my baby. I would be a basket case otherwise. I know someone up there is helping me get them done because He knows that I would have a meltdown.

Back at it again!!!

So yipee... here we are! Back for our last year of dental hygiene school!
The first couple weeks are always so crazy. There are a lot of things to remember to do and assignments that will need to be turned in by certain deadlines.
I have my own personal deadline... what with the baby and all so pretty much everything is due extra early for me. It's great.

My first day in clinic I thought I was going to be taking it easy. I was wrong.
My first patient was a class 2 and I declared him as an exam. haha... funny, I know.
But I just figured that if I have em, I might as well use em!
My second patient was a class 3! and I also declared him as an exam.
Saweeet!

I'm happy to be getting these classifications done.
I'm also happy to be back in school. I thought I would be drowning but actually, I feel pretty confident. It's the baby, I just know it. :-)
