Today was a good day! Everything went so smoothly. We got to sit each other down and go through the whole process that we will be doing very soon. We did the HHx and HHxRx on our treatment records. We performed quick extra and intraoral exams. We probed a certain area. We looked for caries and recorded findings in each others charts. I learned that asthma is a medical alert and needs to be listed in the upper right corner in red. If someone has asthma we should ask the duration, when their last attack was, what sets it off, and any medications taken. In HHxRx we would write that they need their inhaler, and to avoid aerosols. I passed off treatment planning on Eaglesoft and Anterior Instrumentation. I need to practice using universal instruments and make sure I have that down for this coming wednesday. Overall, it was nice to be able to see how everything fit together.
