Barnhart

Today went okay. I did almost jump out of my seat when Katie literally screamed. I thought that I cut her with my instrument but she just has a sensitive tooth. She said that anytime metal touches it the tooth hurts. I did feel sooooo bad however, and I hope that I never have to experience that again. The instrument itself was good. I could feel that I do have a tendency to apply too much lateral pressure. I need to work on that. I need to do more of an exploritory until I actually find a deposit.
My PE's went well today. I feel like I have a good grasp on my instruments-- not how to use all of them, but to know theoretically what they are used for. I was also able to pass off the intraoral camera. I felt really good about that.
I would like to say again that I am grateful for patient instructors and TA's who are really willing to help and demonstrate when needed.
All in all, I would say that it was a pretty good day.
