Snow could not reschedule, so I had to be in clinic all day today. She ended up being a class 2. The experience was very good in terms of seeing a class 2, seeing supragingival calculus, and feeling subgingival calculus. I was also able to use the ultrasonic scaler. I LOVED IT!!! I can't imagine how long it would have taken me to scale had I not had the help of that technology. My biggest concern was that I would not get her done because that was the whole point of me staying the entire day. I tried to do everything right and get all of the deposits, but I was actually glad that some where left. I was able to go back with Prof Costley and really feel them and be guided in how to remove them. I would not have changed that for anything.
Though it was a very long day, my patient was a trooper, and I finished. My goal to get her done was accomplished. I learned more than I could have possibly imagined. It was a good day!!!!
