Disclosing

To be honest, I was a little afraid of the disclosing soluation today. In a room full of people who take VERY good care of their teeth it had the possibility to be a little embarrassing. Everything worked out well, however. My mouth was much cleaner than I thought it would be. I do need to work on my flossing-- anterior mandibular teeth, but beyond that I feel that I do a good job. My teeth may not be as white as everyone else's, but I do know that they are clean. That is a happy day!!!
I still need to work on my exploring. It is much harder than the instructors make it look. I do think that Prof. Costley's idea of taking it home and practicing on myself is necessary for me to understand. The adapting angle just comes up on me soooo quickly and I know I don't turn my instrument quickly enough. Practice, practice, practice!!!!
I would like to know why every time that I practice my PE's I can do them without a hitch, but everytime that an instructor is in the pod my mind desides to go blank. I don't know why my body does that. Isn't it just the same information that I practiced? Don't I still know what I am doing? Then why does being put on the spot change everything?
All in all, though, I would say that it was a good day
