Twas a good day in clinic today. I got to add 12 quads to my list so that is a good thing. I am practically finished with requirements. Now I have to clean extra quads to make up for lost points. I saw a class V, class 1A and 1B. Fun fun. My peer pal came in. that was useful.

MOCKBOARDS!

Well, I'm waiting to hear back from "the examiner" about how I did with my patient. I felt pretty confident until I went around with the probe... now I'm not so sure how I did. YIKES! I am so glad we do mockboards. I don't know why some of the other schools don't do mockboards. I can't imagine walking into boards and not knowing what is going on.

Well, I failed but I feel good about what I did so I'm ok. Glad its over

VA

I really like the VA, more so than WSU clinic. I don't think it is as stressful and I feel like there is more one on one with the instructor. I like Kami Hanson and find that she is very helpful. I like how she is blunt and to the point but not overbearing. Today I saw a class III and a class V. I got some exams done and was able to help with anesthesia for the DDS. 4 Injections. Injections are not as traumatizing as I had anticipated. I kinda like it actually. Maybe because it is something new.

Good Day Madam

Things worked out pretty well in clinic today. This morning my patient had a ton of plaque but not so much calculus. I almost think heavy plaque is more difficult. Maxillary denture so I cleaned two quads class V.

PM clinic: 1B, ortho. I have never cleaned around braces before. That was an experience. I took some sweet radiographs that I am proud of.
