FIRST PATIENT IN ONE DAY!!!

Today I saw my first patient in ONE day. She was only a 1B so that helped out a lot! It was so nice being able to actually get her done in one appointment!! I didn't take x-rays though, so that saved me 20 minutes but I still had extra time at the end so I was not too rushed.  I did use the Ultrasonic on her lower anteriors, and um.... so it makes me nervous to use it! I was NOT confident at all!  I was glad to switch back to hand scale.  Ha so that is going to be my goal next patient is to use the ultrasonic and be better with it and more confident!  Everyone says it is not bad you just have to get used to it but I feel like I am just being a little to careful and need to be more bold and trust myself. I have come along way and it is crazy how much I have learned and I just started seeing patients this semester!  I love it!  Dental Hygiene is seriously the best ever :)  I love going to school!
