POWDER (SALT) everywhere!!!

HOLY, alot to accomplish for everyone. Powder Polish a penny, Full mouth Powder Polish, Prophy Polishing, Floss, Flouride Varnish, then switch. Then do a PE on Dental Screening aka Charting all sorts of crazy things. WOWOWWOWOWOWOWOWOW! Okay I have to admit I love working in the mouth. Even found subgingival calc today between 22 and 23 and it was a greyish color! So fun to remove.
Have another sick child. Which isn't fun!! Poor Kiddos. Vomit is just not a pleasant thing in anyway shape or form. Especially when it isn't in the toilet.
Well Running late.. gonna finish and take a break for RAD.

ULtrasonic, ULtrasonic, ULtrasonic!!
Fun-- Talk about a shower for you and your patient!
Heidi did great!
We were able to pass off our intraoral camera PE and the OHI PE. I was disappointed in the OHI PE, I guess I was expecting to tell the faculty what the PE said, not in layman's terms. However I understand that is the way we will be describing gingivitis and perio to our patients. Just mis-understood the way it was to be done. OH well. I was sufficient enough.
Ready for a nap. I love to be the patient!:)

Monday Monday Monday
Tiauna was an excellent patient today! We were able to practice scaling and and passed off the universal instrumentation.
We went over intra-oral camera and were able to take pictures. I love it! I miss having a foot pedal to take it instead of pushing a button on the handle. OH well! lots of adjustments.
Scared for the week of tests and quizzes. A three day weekend that felt like half of a day. And I am not sure where that even went.
Tah Tah!

Wednesday

back at it early this morning... started with my spinning class that starts at 530. That alarm goes off to quickly. My little guy has had a mouth full of cankers and so he has been getting up alot and crying out. Poor little guy. Wish there was an instant cure.
Can't sign in to eaglesoft. Server down? on the agenda today..instrument identification, universal scaler pass off, and eaglesoft PE tx planning. Hope to be able to get to them all.
Going over dental screening and pt charting.
Today we went over dental screening/charting..I was partnered with cute Lauren. We don't get to learn much when everyone has like flawless teeth. But Good practice with exploring and using the mirror for evaluating.
We have some down time so I passed off the instrument identification. Have two more I could pass off but they keep telling us to hang on to some for the practice time next week.
I would like to just pass them off and then really practice next week and go over probing and things I need more time to get faster and more efficient.
Wow --just looked up and the snow is further down the mountain..WINTER is coming!

Is it Monday again? ALREADY? Crazy. Today was busy. Disclosing each other, learning how to do plaque, how to chart a little more. In my case..how not to chart. Whoops.
Got to work on Kristen today. She was fun and she did great!
I need to work on instrument identification PE that is due on WEdnesday! Scary.:) Well better go print off my modules for tomorrow.
Nighty Night!

Hello Wednesday. I think half my brain stayed at home today. Somedays its a breeze to comprehend and do what is asked. Today...eaglesoft is easy. But the universal scaler..well I struggled. Guess that why good days are good. Bad or awkward days are just not as much fun.
Didn't need to pass off anything today.
Tiauna did great as my hygienist. She's great to be pod partners with.
Well that is all today..lunch then radiology. Will I survive :)?

Happy Monday! Woke up to a down pour which turned to snow.. now its just overcast and cool.
TA'd this morning in Radiology. Hope the girls don't mind and definitely hope I am a little helpful.
Well we got to scale the anterior teeth today with the NEBRASKA, Yipee!! Kadee was a fabulous patient...even with my occasionally poking! Just to keep her awake of course.
OH last Wednesday I did get to pass of my perio probing so I am done with all the PE's for now.
I was finally able to be a patient today.. my cold sore is nearly gone.
Excited to learn to scale the posterior teeth on wednesday.
I can't believe it is October already! CRAZY
Love the fall colors..makes me want to go to New York..the best and most beautiful colors.
ByeBye till Wednesday:)
