FIRST CLASS 2!!!

So today i saw my friend!! It was really fun seeing him today and it was really calm for me because I was not nervous around him.  Today I took a FMX with schick....and just my luck he has a SHALLOW PALATE!! The worse for schick PA'S..... ok lets just say it took FOREVER and his mouth would NOT cooperate with the sensor!  IT WAS HELL AND FRUSTRATING!!! He was so patient and bless his heart.  I tried so many times and could not get the right x-rays.  Sam the TA came in to help me, and guess what, even she could not get the right x-rays.  I felt bad because we were taking forever to get his x-rays... luckily he was patient and did not mind.  So turns out that he had pretty good gingivitis with slight loss of bone beginning so he is a class 2.  It got me excited because I was able to teach him etiology of gingivitis and explained to him that he needs to floss and how important it is because he told me he never flosses and never will..until I told him the importance!  We put him on chlorehexidine and he was excited to start using it to see his gums improve and when he comes back I will be able to evaluate if he is using it or not!  I loved this experience with him because I was actually able to have a deeper talk about everything with him that he had no clue about!  I am excited for his next appointment to see if his gums have improved!
