Today went really well! I had my class 2 patient come in, and I already had his OD done so I just got to do his cleaning. I also passed off explorer, anterior instrument, and blood glucose PE. He had calculus on his lower linguals. He had quite a few restoration so there was not a ton of calculus on the molars. I did learn that I need to twist my instrument a little more between my thumb and index finger so that I'm always leading with the tip. My goal is to increase my speed on OD. That is what really slow me down. Also, I would like to be more comfortable with indirect vision of the lower linguals. I dont trust myself so I always end up compromising my posture to see those. I don't want to make that a habit so I need to start using indirect vision now.
