Today was pretty fun in clinic. We were able to hook our typodont to our chair and practice using the suctions and the air/water syringe and the Blue Boa. It was fun to be able to do something instead of just standing around listening to talking. The Blue Boa is a pretty cool invention.
What is the Blue Boa you might ask...It is a nifty suction that you rest inside the patients' cheek so your hand is free. Since you aren't holding the suction you have both hands free to hold your mirror and the ultrasonic scaler. Way cool. It helps to save your back from having back problems because you can keep the correct posture. I hope that I can get used to the way it works and use it a lot.
