Cant think of a title

Today in clinic the morning went well seen another class five that was very sweet, he keep telling me how good I was doing I love a patient that give you great remarks.  The afternoon was full of kids seen  two little kids they were so cute  I could not do much on the little boy but I feel like we still accomplished something even though it was a just a ride in the chair and getting tickled with the tooth brush I feel like it is still important to bring them in even if it just a ride in the chair to get them ust to the clinic setting.  We are now in the firth week of school and it is going by so fast. I really enjoy coming to clinic last year I think I was sick everyday that we would see a patient or not. I feel like I am doing really well with scaling and improving each day. every patient I see bring new challenges but they are learning challenges for me.

class 3

Today would have been a good day to take intra oral photos what I didn't think about it tell the appointment was over I seen a very interesting class 3 in the afternoon with tons of calculus it was really cool to see it come all off I know that is sick but if you are a hygiene student you would think the same. and to see the difference from the beginning of the appointment to the end I only did the one quad cause I am going to bring him back for mock boards it will be interesting to see the difference in the tissue in a few weeks.  I hope I stressed the good oral hygiene enough that I will be able to see that change also. but it was a fun day I am tired now but it was worth it seeing what a difference we are making the the appearance of someone mouth just by cleaning them.

Convention

Last year was a surprise I had been to UDA but never gone to UDHA and wow was it different it was so good with wonderful food and great speakers, but I was wowed again this year and it was not a good wow i went friday and was blowed away by the speakers she was rude and inconsiderate she wanted you to participate but then they did she would disagree and argue back with them I was pretty sad leaving the day I felt like that it didnt benefit me and was kinda discussed with the speaker but hopefully next year will be better again:(

VA

The second day at the VA went lots better than the first. I still don't have charting down but its coming along. thanks so much to Jodie  for being the ca today she helped out a ton. I was very luck to have got the patients that I got they were both so nice and were so appreciative of me and what I was doing for them. After today I felt like wow I think I really know what I am kinda doing and its starting to get easier the more and more I do it. after last week I felt like I knew nothing and should try first year again haha not. but by the time this week will be over I feel like I am back up to speed and kinda feel like I am a second year student and am going to be doing this in the real world next year with no instructor to guide me along, that is crazy to think but very exciting at the same time. Today I was able to see the effects of diabetes that it  has on the mouth I was quite amazed that no one had ever told this patient that periodontal disease and Diabetes go hand in hand with each other and by controlling your diabetes it helps reduce the probability of developing periodontal disease. or that if you have periodontal disease it can make it so that your blood glucose is out of normal range too. its amazing that so many things effect the oral cavity. well I learned lots today and hopefully I made a difference in someone Else's life.
