Wow today was a very crazy day, but I think it went pretty well. We had our first patient today. I had my nine year old nephew come in. I thought it would be a breeze, but there was so much charting to do. It was really good for me, because I was actually able to see where some feelings were and spotted a suspicious lesion. I'm so glad Trey was patient with me, and did so great. He had to sit there for quite awhile with me poking at him:) In class we have been teaching each other the etiology of cavities and gingivitis. It is a little harder to explain to a nine year old boy. I just explained to his mom what was going on and tried to explain it to him. My goal is to become quicker at probing. I still have such a hard time with that and I know my posture is horrible when I'm doing it!
