So today went really good for our first day back scaling teeth. I had my brother scheduled Joel to come in and he agreed that he could a few days ago then I got the call....the call we all HATE!! Yup, Joel was calling me to cancel his appointment 10:00 last night saying he was too stressed with his test the next day and can not drive up because he needs to study instead. I understood where he was coming from so I told him I would just find someone else so he could get his stuff done he needed. I was hoping I wouldn't have to use my mom already because she is a good reliable fast back-up patient but after calling several people that night I had no other choice. I was glad I saw her though because she has braces and i feel like she needs to see the hygienist every 3 months instead 6 because she build calculus more than I expected and i had only seen her 4 months ago. When I saw her 4 months ago she had just barley gotten her braces on and had minimal plaque and calculus, but this time the amount of her calculus was a surprise to me. It was good having my patient be my mom on the first day because I was able to not stress as much worrying and my appointment went smoothly.
I was a little shocked at how natural scaling felt to me and how everything came back to me so easily. I was expecting to feel way out of my ordinary and not remember positions. There were times that I felt a little handicap but then I remember the correct way it made sense. I can't wait for this last year and the experiences I will gain!
