Today in the Weber State Dental Hygiene Clinic first year student Candace Hillyard found the most epic discovery of the year in Alyse Laneri's mouth. Laneri, age 20, a first year student in the Weber State University Dental Hygiene program reported once having a cavity in a baby tooth as a child--the tooth fell out of her mouth not too long after having it filled. When asked what she thought of the new discovery of the cavity on the occlusal surface of tooth 31, Laneri simply pursed her lips and said, "I didn't think this would happen to me. It's pretty ironic that my first cavity ever was discovered by a dental hygiene student--especially when my last dental exam was about one month ago." Those close by on the scene reported that the common phrases from Laneri's mouth seemed to sound a lot like, "No!" Coupled with, "Oh sad!"
Laneri mentioned plans of having the cavity filled before it got much worse and decided she would rinse with fluoride for the time being to prevent any further advancement of this devastating carious lesion.
