I had pretty good luck this morning. My patient didn't show this morning so I called her and she said she couldn't make it because of the blizzard. I went to go find names and a patient that wanted a cleaning walked in!!! Got to love those days! He was a class 2 and 3 so it worked out pretty well for me. My patient this afternoon was also a class 2. I'm getting quite a bit of class 2's and have to be optimistic and look at it as preparing me for the boards. I still have not found a board patient and I'm worried to use the one I found at work because of health issues. Also, I have not cleaned any class four patients. I found one at the screening last week and hope that she will work. My patient today had severe bleeding and tenacious calculus. I need to work on sharpening my instruments more frequently. Also, with bleeding it helped to leave the suction in her mouth in order to save some time. I also gave 8 injections:) I need to remember to look at what anesthetic I will be distributing! Overall, it was a pretty good day, I just hope I can find a board patient soon!!!!
