Just a little flustered... :)

(WARNING: this paragraph may be boring for those who are not in the dental hygiene program! :))
Today in clinic was just a little bit frustrating for me... We worked on a different partner than we're used to and we had to probe a lower quadrant--and the lingual posterior teeth are BEASTS!! My partner today also had a smaller mouth than my usual partner which made me a spaz with the mirror... haha i kept clinking her little teeth... poor girl! My goal over the weekend is to practice exploring because our PE is due on Monday. Exploring has gotten much better for me ever since, Alyse (the TA)--bless her heart-- showed my how to position correctly and get up on my fulcrum even more.. It kind of throws my elbows to my side rule out the window, but it's SO helpful with patient comfort and adaptation!

Every day, even the frustrating days, must come with some good news... SO--the good news is that now I am 99% plaque free... with the only plaque remaining in those little holes of the leftover glue from my pre-existing permanent bottom retainer! Other good news... I got 100% on my anatomy test!
