Michelle's Hygiene Blog: March 2009
http://michelle09.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 28, 2009. My patient at the VA had, on his labial frenum between tooth numbers 8 and 9, a small round yellowish bump. It kinda looked like a pimple. When pressure was applied, the yellowish material came out. Again, like a pimple. I took an x-ray and he had a definite abscess around the root of #8. This was so cool to me! Tuesday, March 17, 2009. All day.not a single scheduled patient! I have better luck than that when I only have two patients scheduled. Thursday, March 5, 2009. I have be...

Michelle's Hygiene Blog: Production Day
http://michelle09.blogspot.com/2009/03/simulation-day.html
Tuesday, March 17, 2009. I think production days are cursed. Almost everyone I've talked to has had cancellations or no-shows on their production day. Mine was no different. Of the four patients I had scheduled, zero came! All day.not a single scheduled patient! I have better luck than that when I only have two patients scheduled. 4 patients and none of them came, what it up with that? Good job on the full mouth, that really feels good im sure!

Friday, November 20, 2009. A Case of Bleeding Gums. The patient is in your chair.you have 20 minutes.what would you tell him? What would you do? Now I'm ready for feedback :) What would you have done? What else could I have done? What did I not consider? What would you do in two weeks if he comes back and reports no changes? Wednesday, November 18, 2009. I feel that I have a solid knowledge base from school, but am still learning new things everyday! So, I've decided to revive this blog! It's the perfect...

Dental Hygiene: February 2009
http://havinfun09.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2009. Today was my clinic simulation day. It was extremely buisy, but productive. In the morning I did a Pano on my sister and saw a 1a. Then I did an OD and x-rays on a pt I was hoping would qualify for boards. It was close, but not enough. I hope I can find a patient that reliable for boards. The whole thing went so smoothly. I didn't miss any calculus, Yeah! It was a good feeling to pass. Now I just need to find a patient for the real thing. Wednesday, February 4, 2009. I only f...

Dental Hygiene: January 2009
http://havinfun09.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2009. My VA day went well today. I had the class 3 in the morning. I was able to finish him, but it was only 3 quads because he was missing teeth. I missed two spots, both on the line angle of premolars. I was also able to do my ultrasonic PE. My afternoon patient was a very easy class 5. I didn't miss anything on him. Monday, January 19, 2009. I spent the whole time trying to find another patient, but was out of luck. Not a great way to start the semester. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thursday, December 18, 2008. Calculus to go, please. What do you get when you combine a class III patient with a smoker and a huge bridge of calculus? I was pretty excited to remove some of my patient's calculus with these large pieces still intact. I put them on my tray to show him, and he was shocked to see what had been in his mouth. My favorite part was that he wanted to take them home to show his girlfriend! Friday, December 5, 2008. Tuesday, December 2, 2008. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Michelle's Hygiene Blog: October 2008
http://michelle09.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 30, 2008. I had the kind of appointment after which I just want to breathe a big sigh and be glad it's over! I actually didn't even scale, but I did a full OD with initial charting and took full-mouth x-rays- which is difficult with a patient who has an anterior open bite. X-rays are going to be the death of me- they take FOREVER! However, the great news is, I found a class III pt at WSU. Yay! Tuesday, October 28, 2008. Monday, October 27, 2008. I still don't quite understand what to do...

Dental Hygiene: October 2008
http://havinfun09.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2008. I'm glad mockboards are over; clinic seems a lot less stressful now. I was a student examiner in the morning. It was nice to be able to see the flow of things before it was my turn. Tuesday, October 14, 2008. Tuesday, October 7, 2008. My patient this afternoon didn't speak any English either, but her son was there to translate. She was a new pt and a class 2. She will work for mockboards, Yeah! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This morning was very relaxing. Its incredible t.

Thursday, March 5, 2009. I found a class 4 patient. Yeah! I did 2 quads and scheduled him back for the other 2. It was very exciting. Especially after a morning with yet again another class 5. He is scheduled for April. Now I just need to find 4 more quads. It's a relief to have at least 2 quads done. Class 4's are impossible to find! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Today was an easy day. I had a class 5 in the mor. Im sick of no shows. View my complete profile.
