Sealant day, my favorite day!

Today we got to do sealants on each other! It was so much fun and takes me back to my assisting days. Laken was a little easier to work on than a child though, which made my job a BREEZE! It was so much to feel comfortable doing them. I knew exactly what to do and how to do it which doesn't happen very often in clinic. Happy Halloween! Me and my hubs are going to carve pumpkins and watch a scary movie to celebrate this scary holiday! :)

Treatment planning

Today we learned how to enter a patient into the computer software program that we use called eaglesoft. It was pretty easy, but I do have to say I am more of a Dentrix kind of girl! (thats another type of computer software that most offices use.) We got a pretty "chill" day in clinic which was way nice.

This weekend was such a GREAT weekend, fall break was Friday, so Heath and I got to hang out then My Mom and I went shopping at Kohl's where I purchased my new white comforter!!! I am re-doing our bedroom and I can't decide if I want to do blue with the white or do green and refinish my furniture black... any suggestions?!?! My Mom also bought us a Memory foam for our mattress and I swear by it! OUR bed is heavenly!! It as originally priced a little of $300, but we got it for $108 and it was worth every penny!

Yesterday was my sweet nephew Gage's birthday. He would have turned 5. Sad day, but I enjoyed watching videos of him and remembering his sweet spirit. WE celebrated at the cemetery where we wrote messages to him and tied them to purple balloons. It was priceless and something I will never forget. I love you Gage!

Also, we ARE MOVING! To Brigham! IN a week and a half! Crazy I know?!?! We will miss SOuth Weber and our cute family that lives upstairs, but we are excited to be in our own new place!

What a day!

I love today! More news to come about why....

But, Clinic today was pretty good today, I passed off posterior scaling! Woo Woot! I really cannot believe it. I got to work with my bestie Candice today and it was so much fun! she is so good and easy to work on. :)

Other than that, I have to take an anatomy test by Friday and things are just as busy as ever.

Hope everyone is enjoying there Fall!

Intra oral camera and practice day!

Today was a RoUGH day in clinic... it was an easy day as far as the intra-oral camera, but we had to start at the very beginning with what we've learned and practice on out patient. This is what we had to do:
Health History- have patient sign if its been longer than a year, if not write HHX no changes and status RX no tx alterations
Extra Oral exam
Intra Oral Exam
Chart occlusion and all restorations present in the mouth
Probe
OD check by instructor
OHI
Scaling
and the list goes on and on....
It was hard to remember EVERYTHING, and to remember when we needed to get signatures from our instructors before we proceeded. I really am struggling lately, I'm ready for fall break on Friday that is for sure! Thanks Erin for being such a Great Patient! You are awesome! :)

Dental Screening

Today we learned about charting what we see in the mouth. I was worried at first about being able to see composite fillings, but it was actually easier than I thought. I also passed off TWO PE's which I am totally stoked about! PE's are the most stressful things ever! We have to pass off everything that we learn, so an instructor comes over and watches you! It's nerve racking! Today was a fun day in clinic and I am feeling a little more comfortable everyday. Happy Wednesday!

Bleeding Purple

My last blog title is actually quite funny seeing that right after that post I got SUPER sick and was throwing up more than I have thrown up in my entire life! Good thing i can laugh about it now... Anyway today I am back to feeling normal and it is so great after feeling so crappy. Today clinic was a lot of fun. WE used that purple disclosing agent that shows plaque on your teeth, so you can know where you need to brush better. Of course all of us are freaks when it comes to brushing and flossing our teeth so it wasn't too exciting. We got time to practice scaling which I needed and it was a great day at clinic today! Until next time :)


Oh P.S.... We just got the news Saturday that Heath's sister Aubree and her cute husband Cory are having their first baby in April, and my brother Mark and his wife are expecting their 3rd baby in May! YAY! We are so excited! Congrats guys!
