Supa funny video!

This is a must watch if you need a little entertainment! This little boy cracks me up... He had some extractions done, and these are the effects of his anesthesia :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txqiwrbYGrs

My darling, sweet, life-saver of a cousin!!

Monday morning my cute cousin Brynnan and I left Logan at 6:15 am to drive through sardine canyon in a snowstorm to get to clinic on time! The crazy thing was, she found out she was going around 5:30 am... Her little sister Kristen was supposed to be the victim of my torture, but when she unexpectedly threw up all night, Brynnan came to the rescue! She truly saved the day!

She was an awesome patient... 13 years old on the verge of 1A and 1B, but since she still had 1 baby tooth and was waiting for her 12 year old molars I counted her as a 1A patient. (I'm a little pressed for 1A's :)) We got her finished about 30 minutes early and I should have planned ahead to do some sealants, but regardless, finishing felt great!! I had 0 errors (mostly because she hardly had anything to clean!) and I'm still working to improve my time. Things are slowly coming along... I can't believe we're almost half way through the semester!

p.s. i got a cute picture with my cousin, but i have no way to upload it :( i'll get it on soon!

ALMOST

My goal on Wed. was to finish my patient in one appointment... I almost did it!  I still had one quadrant to go when the time was up...  The nice thing is that he will be one of my sealant patients, so bringing him back will not be hard as far as using only a little time.  Monday I found a class II patient, but mostly because of difficulty due to apprehension and anxiety with certain tools.  Probe depths were typical of a II, but no radiographic bone loss was evident.  The thing I've learned so far this semester is to chill because some days will be better than others, and the days i don't take x-rays will be better than most :)  haha
