Good Day

We worked with the explorer today and practiced are fulcrums. I must say that I didn't realize there was so much involved in hygiene. I have been to the dentist soooooo many times throughout my life but it didn't ever dawn on me that there was a special way to hold the instrument, a special way to sit, to hold your head, your eyes... need I keep going. It all makes sense and I am grateful that we are learning all of this. I just don't want to forget anything for the benefit of my patient as well as myself.

I felt okay today, however, with the explorer and the positioning. The fulcrum for the right maxillary buccal was something to think about. I do need to practice. My husband is going to love me SOOOO much more by the time I am out of the program.
