Today was kind of a repeat of last Monday, but we really went into to depth. This time we had to record everything in each others charts. We got our pts chart and filled out HHx, HHxRx, OD, OHI, and Status Rx. My goal for this week is to learn what goes under everyone of them and be confident in it. I was really slow doing this today and want to get so I don't even have to think about it. I also passed off the Universal PE today. This instrument was a little harder for me then the others. I'm sure with practice that I will eventually get it. I had a hard time locating the composit feelings when recording for Dent. I think it will be alot easier once we have x-rays. I'm going to practice looking for these while I'm at work so it doesn't take me so long. That was the main thing that slowed me down. As a dental assistant I just take x-rays and polish. I have never looked out for these. So I think work will be a great help with this!
