I'm really starting to feel more confident with my dental hygiene treatment. Each week after clinic I'm actually excited to be working in a dental practice in just a few short months (hopefully I will find a job anyway). I feel like I am getting better at feeling calculus and removing it completely. When I do miss areas of calculus the instructors stay and help me feel it with the explorer and then give me great tips to get the remaining calculus off. I'm also learning that I can use instruments in different areas of the mouth than what we learned in first year. Today I used the Nevi on the premolars and on the line angles of the molars...AMAZING!!! I felt like I removed so much more of the calculus in those areas. I can't wait till I will be able to just treat patients and not worry about requirements and who I can and can't see. Only 3 more clinic sessions and then GRADUATION! I can't wait.
Can you believe we are almost done? Especially after my observations today in dental offices, I am getting really excited to be a hygienist. I will just be praying my heart out for a job!
