Curet Clinic

Yesterday in clinic, we learned how to use a Barnhart curet. This was pretty exciting. It is fun to be able to learn and use these scalers. I feel that it is harder to learn on the typodont sometimes because the scalers always get stuck or caught. When scaling my pod partner I was able to remove some biofilm and calculus. I felt like this clinic went well. My goal is to practice and become better at rolling the instrument into the col area from the line angle. Also I am happy to have passed the angulation and instrument PE. This week has been a little stressful because we have had several PE's to pass and several tests. I feel that next week will be the same. It is nice to know that next week will start our tenth week of the semester. Yeah!
