Gooday!

Whew... RELIEF
Today I didn't do much...
except found a board patient!
Amen to that. mmmmmmhmmmmm

I also took x-rays on my mom for moackboards so today was an x-ray day. I like that I'm getting better and more confidant at taking x-rays.
x-ray competency is important. Dentists will want it done and want it done right the first time. There won't be much time in private practice and part of trimming down the 3 hours it takes us here to 45 minutes is taking good x-rays.

Something I learned today: If your patient is missing a tooth, put an extra bite tab on the x-ray so that they x-ray does not tilt in their mouth.

Something I will implement next appointment: BLOW AIR ON CALCULUS
The board orientation manual said that the first thing the examiners do is use the air syringe to look for calculus.
