Wow today was an exciting day. We actually got to use our dental mirror and learned to fulcrum. Dental Hygienist make it look so easy! Now I understand why dental hygienist can have bad posture. It was very hard to hold the mirror in my nondominant hand and fulcrum. I'm sure that the mirror will become my best friend when I get the hang of indirect vision. It will be very useful when it comes to posture. We also got to do extra-oral exams on each other. I got like four great massages, it was a great way to start out the day:) It was nice going to Midtown Clinic because I got a headstart on these. I will definitly need to work on using my mirror and good posture, because I still need to add an instrument in. My goal for this week is to get a headstart on indirect vision. I could try using the mirror at work while polishing. One of the dental hygienist I work with told me to try that out. So I think I will give it a try!
