finally the final mockboard IS OVER AND OUT OF MY LIFE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Today. WOw. It was stressful. My pt. is the perfect candidate, except he has a latex allergy and he actually overqualifies. He had 24 clicks of calc. in the quad i cleaned. It was tough. It was black rings that surrounded the entire circumference of his teeth i swear. The ultra sonic did a good job of getting it broken up and then i went to town with my hand instruments. I felt pretty good about it but it was soooooo much work. I ended up missing 3 spots and they were like tiny but im happy with my progress and if i could clean that guy i can clean anyone.

another day

So today was a bummer. My pt. called last night to cancel so I called up this family friend that has been begging for me to clean her teeth and she says she'll come at 8:30 so that's fine, as long as I have a pt. So she calls at 8:30 and says she wont be there till 9. So at 9:45 she rolls in. I give her mouthwash and tell her to have a seat and she now needs the restroom. She was in there for 10 minutes and by the time I finally started the chart, I realized she had a major joint replacement done so i call her doc and he's like yeah she needs to premed. So, this morning was a waste of time. This afternoon was pretty good. My pt. was als0 a family friend and she came right on time and ended up being a class 2 and everything went really smooth.

MOCKBOARD NUMER 2

So today was a success. I only missed one spot and got docked points for excluding her third molar in the quad I was scaling. I thought it wasn't quit errupted and they thought otherwise. So i felt good about it and need to keep improving.
