Instrument Classification and Explorer PE

In clinic on Monday we learned about instrument classification and practiced some case studies. I was a little nervous to pass off the explorer PE. It was probably the PE that has given me the most stress so far. I feel that we haven't had to much time to practice exploring on a real patient because we have been busy learning other new things. (or I just did not take advantage of the time) I felt glad to have passed it off. I feel that I still need a lot of practice. My goal is to start practicing on my pod partner when ever I get a chance. We also sorted our instruments and worked on a work sheet that helped to identify each instrument and what they are used for. I'm excited for Wednesday clinic because we are going to learn to use our anterior scalers. This should be a lot of fun.
