Practice Makes Perfect

Today in clinic we had a lot of fun! We had the opportunity of practicing on one of our lab partners. I practiced on Julie :) and she was so great! She was patient and helped me with any suggestions that she had. It felt a little awkward at first because I'm not used to everything just yet, but after about ten min. or so, I felt a little more comfortable. I hope the phrase "Practice Makes Perfect" will manifest itself as the semester continues :)

Blue Boa :)

Today was really fun in clinic. We had the chance to work on a model and learned to use our blue boas. I really liked the curly suction tip, it seemed to suck up more of the water. It was also really interesting to have the chance to meet the inventor of this amazing invention. It got me thinking about my future as a hygienist. I wonder if I will ever have the chance to invent something to make hygiene more effective. I hope so, that would be quite an accomplishment!

I Survived!

I made it through my first day of clinic! It was a lot of fun getting to know the other hygienist and hearing all about their embarrassing moments. I'm all set up in my unit and I have a little drawer full of instruments:) One day closer to being a registered Dental Hygienist!!!
