Today I was able to be the hygienist all afternoon. It was so much fun. Madi was an excellent patient. I was kind of nervous and had a little bit of anxiety because I had to remember everything that we have learned all semester but it wasn't as hard to remember everything as I thought it would be. I was super nervous for probing but it was so much fun. I think that was my favorite part of the appointment. I could totally feel the bottom of the pocket and I didn't even hurt Madi. I even had time to scale one quadrant. The scaling was a little rough today, it just felt like I wasn't quite doing it right but I didn't leave any deposit...of course Madi didn't really have any calculus in the first place. But I did it. I can't wait till I can scale a mouth with lots and lots of calculus.
Wednesday I get to be the hygienist again and finish all the scaling and polishing. Then next Monday will be my first official non-classmate patient. David is so excited. :) I just can't get over how much fun I had today. I have made the right decision on my career. I love it!!!
