Wednesday Feb. 25,2009

Today in clinic my goal was to finish my first Class II patient in one appt. I am so happy I finished my patient and two PE's. My day ran so smooth it was nice. I saw my dad today. It was nice because at his last appt. we went over OHI. I feel bad because I feel that part of the problem is lack of education on his dentists part. My dad didn't know that he needed to floss under a 6 unit bridge that can be pretty devastating for the gum tissue. He has been seeing the same dentist for 25 plus years. The good thing is that his PFI score and OHI has increased and I am his new hygienist and I will take great care of him.

Way to go! I love helping my family members also. It also nice to see them instead of someone you have never seen before.

thats so awesome you finished your dad! You are doing really well! So right now Im feeling a little like what have i gotten myself into again. Luckily I have you to help keep me motivated. Im sure the tests wont be bad this week, I just cant get in the mood to study & then I get worried/stressed I wont do well. I just cant wait till this semester is over. We definately need to go celebrate!
