Getting wrapped up

So I finished my 1B today and passed off my intra-oral camera so that's basically what I got accomplished today. I am running out of time. I have 1 sealant, a 2 and a 3 left as far as requirements go and 4 more pe's so we are starting to wrap up. I feel good about clinic and class believe it or not i'm just going out of my mind with school!!!!! Every day i wake up and think, am i done yet? You are kidding me i am still doing this non-sense day after freaking day!!!!!!!!!! Burnt out, i have officially HIT THE WALL, so GET ME THE FREAK OUT OF HERE ALREADY, LET SUMMER START!!!!!!!!

1A yay!!!

Finally something other than a 1B!! yippee! And i also got sealants and a pano done so hip hip hooraw. Love those kinds of appointments. i didn't get any P.E.'s done so better luck next time. I'm starting to feel better about the requirements this semester. I need a 2 a 3 and a 1 and one more sealant so i'm getting close.

FRUSTRATION

So...my last Class II came in and guess what...turns out he's now a class 5, now considered a 1B!!! Fabulouse, can't have too many. Good news is he needed a full mouth, and his xrays were so intersting, around multiple roots, it looked like abcesses, exactly what we see in radiology but the dentist thinks it must be thinning of the bone (my pt. was 74) and my pt. wasn't in any pain so the Doc said not to worry about it, but i kinda am. I want someone else to take a look just to be sure.

IB :(

Another 1B...got some bitewings and he needs sealants so he will be coming back so that will be good. He had braces and it was my first time working on braces and its pretty intersting to manouver the probe arond those things. I got him cleaned but didn't have time for sealants and he will be coming back and needs 10 sealants so if anyone needs one, let me know.

1 sealant down, 2 to go

Today I saw another 1B SUPRISE, but I was able to get a sealant on her done, my sealant PE and my sharpening PE done so my time wasn't completely wasted. My goal for next time, is to finish all my class II remaining PE's which are specific instrumentation and ultra-sonic on my Class II pt. who is coming next clinic. So he will finish off my cl. II's and I'll have two 1A's and my class III left. So that is my goal, and that is my progress.

another 1B

I had another 1B, i'm getting really good at these unfortunately because they are all i have these days!!!!!!!!!!!!! My xrays were great, thank goodness, I love conventional more than any other. And I ended up getting him done in 1 appointment so I guess its good to keep seeing them to work on my time but i NEED 1A'S!!!!!! Once again, I was so rushed trying to get him done in 1 visit that I didn't have time to pass off any PE's...Boo:(

Little Bro

So my bro came in and he has been in Africa for 2 years using a stiff bristled brush. He had a little recession and a broken tooth and not very much calculus, in fact it took 20 min. to do his full mouth so considering he hasn't been to a dentist in 2years, he looks really great. He is a clean freak so he has always flossed and mouthwashed on top of brushing so good example that it truly does help. It was a little concerning, I found 4 palpable nodes on him. 2 on his sternocleidomastoid and 2 large ones on the base of his skull on the back of his head so he's going to see a doctor so it;ll be intersting to see what it is, hopefully nothing too concerning. I need to pass off more PE's and TAKE MORE XRAYS!!! I'm starting to get nervouse about those items:(
