I saw my first real patient today! My goal was to scale at least one quad, but I didn't quite get one quad done. My dad was really nice and spent his afternoon in my dental chair. I felt pretty good about today, but I still wish that I was a bit faster. I am glad that I at least got to scale a couple of teeth though. I think that probing is what is slowing me down right now. It feels good to have my first patient done. My goal for next time is to evaluate today's appointment.
