Today was the hardest cleaning I have ever done in my life!!!!!!! I have never had the ultrasonic not even touch the calculus. I had the orange tip on high with the tip completely against the calculus and it didn't budge. Oh My!!!! I thought that I was a gonner. I didn't really know what to do. I stopped using the ultrasonic because it was doing nothing and I took out my files. I had to file every surface before I then hand scaled and followed that up with the ultrasonic again. I really have never felt like I failed something in my life until I sent my patient over to have the scale check done. I really wanted to cry and I couldn't stop thinking it.
Well, the result....
I ended up missing 3 spots but one of them ended up being a CEJ, so I was only marked down for 2 spots, but that was only the beginning. I forgot to fill out some of my paperwork, and I missed a probe depth. I couldn't believe it. Oh heavens!!!!!
I did end up passing and did okay, but I really don't feel great about using that patient for my board exam.
What am I going to do?!!!!
