Today was kind of crazy, but I think it was a very good experience for us. We had our mock patients today and had to start from HHx clear down to Status RX. The only things we skipped were two quads, selective polishing, and flouride. So mainly got paperwork done. The hardest and most time consuming thing for me was probing. We had to do the full mouth. I'm sure it is just practice I need and maybe some loupes. The ultrasonic was hard to move from tooth to tooth. I had to keep stopping after each tooth. I guess thats how you learn though. We passed off walking out a patient. That was pretty easy. Overall, it was a good experience and will be very helpful for our real patient day. I'm excited that I get a break and get to be the patient on Wednesday!
