Wow it has been a busy and kind of stressful day. I'm glad that we finally get to use the instruments, but hope to become better at using indirect vision. We used our explorers today. It is alot harder then it looks. Dental Hygienist just make everything look so easy! I started to get the hang of the procedure for using the explorer. I need to work on putting my pinky in and a lighter grasp. I know that the lighter grasp will make it alot easier to feel calculus. My goal is to practice using both the probe and explorer effectively. I will practice on the typodont a little, and then on my lucky husband! I passed off the extra-oral exam and mirror fulcruming PEs. The extra-oral exam was a great way to end the day!
