First Clinic Patient Day for Spring 2010

Woo Hoo! Finally working on real patients! I started cleaning Bryan's teeth on Wed. Considering his patience level he did very well. I missed 7 spots on my first scale check and still had 2 spots left on the second scale check but overall it was good. I can feel the tartar when it's rough but the thing that threw me off was when Prof. Costley found some burnished calculus. I felt it and because it was a bump that was smooth I kept thinking it felt like part of the contour of the tooth. All I can say is it's going to take lots of practice!!!
