Air-Powder Polishing and Sealants

We learned how to air-powder polish and place sealants in our Monday and Wednesday clinic. It is nice to finally see what an air-powder polisher is and how it works. The hygienist at our office has begged the dentist to get one of these. She must really enjoy using it on her patients. It seems to work really well to remove staining, but I think that it stings your tongue and the taste is not so great. I am glad to be working and passing off the sealant PE. This was one of the easier PE's for me because of experience. It is kind of weird to think that we only have a couple of days left in clinic before the semester is over. Wow! How times flies when your having fun.
