My goal for today was to do a fluoride tx on a patient. The fluoride tx went well with my patient. I think I put just a little bit too much fluoride in the tray, but it wasn't too messy. I got to practice my posterior instrumentation a lot with my universal instruments. I am feeling a bit more comfortable with it, but I still struggle with the mesial surfaces because I catch the gingiva sometimes. I did selective polishing on the mandibular teeth. I would like to get faster at polishing. My goal for next time is to learn how to sharpen my instruments.
