First Day Back in Clinic!

Yea beginning of 2nd year I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I had a family member that has never had a cleaning in his 40 years of life come in today. He's also a smoker so I knew he was going to be a good class! He ended up being only a class II but he qualified for my mock board patient! 1 down 3 to go! He had sooooo much stain on his lower anteriors that he was surprised I was able to get it off which he was very happy I did. Last year I was hating the ultrasonic because every time I used it the patient was very sensitive and I'd have to quit using it. Well today it was my friend! I cranked up the power and away the stain went! Loving it!!

  1. Not sure I could be a hygienist if I couldn't use the Ultrasonic! :O) I love that thing. My easy patients even seem to like it.. I compare it to a sponge bath or a full blown shower... but let them know to let me know if an area is sensitive and I avoid it.
    Oh I think this senior tunnel is to long to see the end. Maybe once I pass a board I might see some light! :)
    Love ya Linda!!!
