Class II Exam part 2

So after the first appointment with my class 2 patient I was feeling awful. She came back in on April 7 to finish the cleaning and I decided I was just going to take my time and try to do things right the first time which means exploring before, during, and after I scale. The first quad was pretty good I only missed 2 spots in it. When I did the other quad my hand was getting tired and I guess I didn't go subgingivally enough to feel the calculus because I missed everything in that quad! So I went back through to get it and like I said in part 1 her calculus was tenacious and it took me another 45 min to get it to where I felt like I could have Prof Costley do another scale check. I still missed a few spots but the tip of my thumb was numb so Prof Costley worked on those spots. The only thing that made me feel better was when Prof Costley said she was having a tough time getting the calculus off too! Bad patient to do my exam on but at least it's done!
