My goal for today was to be faster and more confident while I was probing. It took me a long time to probe because my patient had some deep pockets. He had some 9 mm pockets and one 10 mm pocket! That was my first encounter with a class 4 patient, and it was crazy! I learned a lot today. I was only able to get OD and OHI done today, but I feel ok about it. I think I will be trading a Senior for either a class 3 or a couple class 2 patients. My goal for Monday is to get at least one quad scaled.
