Today was just a lab day and we learned how to pass off three new PE's. Blood Glucose, Diagnodent, and removable appliance. Blood Glucose was fun to learn about, we got to poke each others fingers and test our own sugar levels. I just had a bunch of sugar before so I felt that mine was a little high... it was 113 and normal range is 80-120. So i was within range, but still it was the top of the range. We learned the difference between diabetes type 1 and 2 and why one is insulin resistant and one insulin dependent.
The Diagnodent was fun to learn how to use. The diagnodent detects any suspicious areas on the teeth . It is a good way to detect cavities and efficient. We also learned the proper way of how to clean a denture by putting it in the container with the solution and letting it soak and then brushing it correctly. Today was a good day and a good day from seeing patients and not having to prepare for patients before.
These PE's I think are going to be fun to pass off I enjoyed learning more about them and can't wait to do them!
