My goal for today was to work on my ultrasonic skills. My morning patient was a class 3, and I got to scale one quad, so I definitely got to work on my ultrasonic skills. It was great! My afternoon patient was a class 2/class 3. I didn't get any scaling done though. X-rays seemed to take forever today because I had to take regular films, and I had to take one retake. My instructors said that my afternoon patient would work for the mock boards, but I should try to find a better patient. My goal for next week is to try to probe the full mouth in 20-25 minutes.
