First injections

I did my first injections on my patient. it was a little scary up until I did them because she tells me everytime she comes in that if she sees a needle she will punch me. So I covered the needle and had her close her eyes until I was finished. It was great. I want to do more now. I did an IA and long buccal. It couldn't have gone smoother!

Mock boards

Mockboards is over and it went well. I got a 77 which is passing. Would have got higher but i handed in the wrong x-rays (the one without my bitewings). I kept the ones with my bitewings. Guess bringing her back in an extra day to take her PA's becaue no one told me too was for nothing. Oh well, Alls well that ends well. I did learn alot and that is all that matters.

Injections

I just typed this and thought I posted it but it did not and erased it all. The moral of the previously typed story was that we are allowed to do injections on patients now and I will because all of my patients are class 2, 3, and 4. So yippy! The only problem I have now is remembering where my fingers go for retrations of fulcum. I think it is thumb for IA and straight index finger for PSA (with an X across the face)

That last post was off

I am starting to like clinic better now. I think it's because I had a really good day today. I finished 1 quad of a class 4, and one quad of a class 2 exam (with a full mouth series that I didn't have to pay for). The best part was that Perry help me today. I like it when he is constantly quizing you to prepare you for boards, and that he sits with you and helps you find/get off the calculus that you left. I am gunna be bummed when he is not my instructor any more.

How it'

Meet my goal today

I meet my goal today of declairing a class two as an exam. It has been the first two I have seen, so of course I would. But now I believe to have all of my exams declaired. Now I just have to hope that these people show up so that I can finish their cleanings. My next goal is to find more class 5's. I need to see three more.
