Today is my daughters 16th birthday!!  Yes that makes me older too.  In clinic I was the operator again and I finished scaling the last two quadrants, selective polished, flossed, and applied fluoride varnish.  It was good learning time for me. I am getting more and more comfortable, specifically with the posterior scaling.  It is tricky along the distal of 2, and 15. The instructors are very helpful to show me pointers in sitting positions, fulcruming, and even using the mirror to hold oral tissues out of the way.  I am excited about Monday because we get to work on someone besides ourselves.  Lori is my pt and doing me such a huge favor I owe her a lot of chocolate... or something.
