Class IA

I had my first mixed dentition patient and it went great. The xrays and cleaning was a breeze (ofcoarse) but I loved teaching her OH. She was so darling and seemed soooo excited to be in my chair, gotta love those pt.'s right? She loved the "surprises" i gave her, floss, TB and tongue scraper which appeared to be her fav but she was sooooooo receptive and eager to learn about her teeth. I gave her a goal to try to floss 2x/week and brush using the Fones method focusing on the gumline, this seemed to be the area she was missing the most and she showed it back to me and totally understood what I taught her, she did it great:) So yeah i love eager little kido's can't wait for another!

Mamma Mia

My momma mia was my pt. today and she did great. She has 2 bridges and over half of her teeth have a root canal. When my grandma was prego with her and also her older bro, she took a medication to help with the morning sickness and when she was pregs with her last child, the doc told her not to take it anymore because there has been a negative correlation with the medication and the tooth development of the babies. So my one uncle and mom have bad teeth and my other uncle has great teeth, so, it did show a correlation but is that even possible? That it would even effect the permanent teeth too? Anywho, I got her HHx, xrays and OD done and she'll come back for her cleaning. Hope all is well with everyone else, break is coming up! Sprint to the end!

Class V

So today I did a full mouth scale on my dad who is a Class V who ended up qualifying as a cl. II so that was good, I got all 4 quads done and only missed one tiny spot so that was good. I passed off my second anterior and posterior instrumentation P.E.'s so that felt good to get it all done, including an exam, yay:) And I finished with time to spare so my time is improving so its exciting to start seeing improvement.

Thanks little bro

Today my bro Bridger was my pt., he was a class 1B and he has like 8 cavities every time he goes to the dentist, he has beautiful teeth but i think you is a all day soda sipper and so he will be my "sugarbug". His visit went well, I didn't scale yet but took stupid digital bite wings and what the heck is wrong with me? i was taking such good films on the aweful dexters, how come i can't get a descent pic on a person with a perfect mouth? hate them. But i totally get into OHI, i love educating people cause before school, I knew nothing! I hope the world will catch up with us and realize how important oral care is the overall health of our bodies. So bridge got a very thorough OHI and hopefully he will understand how important everything is that I told him.
