Today my patient was a patient that was a little old lady who was a class 5. She was very excited when I called her to schedule and very grateful to have her teeth cleaned. She was a little bit more difficult to clean because of her dentition. She was very nice and a good patient to start to head into the end of the semester with.

Today I saw a a patient that was a little more of a difficult on. Not because she was hard to clean necessarily but because of her personality and things like that. She was more difficult to deal with also in that she had a very hard health history that took a long time. She didn't want x-rays but I talked her into those. It was a good experience for me.

Today I saw a young 1B patient. She was a good patient and I got an exam done which was nice so I am done with all of my exam patient and with all of my requirements!!! It is nice to be done, I think it is going to be hard to modivate myself to keep seeing patients without the requirements driving me, but I am excited in a way too!

Today I saw a patient that was a wife of Chanci's patient. She was on a lot of medications so her health history was far more complicated than I have had to deal with so far. It went well and I got her done today. She didn't want x-rays at first but she ended up letting me and I got x-rays too.

Today my mom came back in to take a full mouth series of x-rays on her and pass of some PEs. She also had a lot of build up back so I got to scale her again and get the off for her and get the quads it was a good day especially considering that I didn't even start her until like 9:30.

Today I saw my class 3 patient. She was a women who I said I would see because she needed to start chemo next week. I already had a patient scheduled that day but said I would reschedule her for this lady. She came in and I got her all finished in one day. I went over the time but it was a great experience and it was very tiring for me. She will be able to start chemo next week which is the best part that I helped her out.

Today I saw a child. His name was Adam and he was 5 years old. He was a great patient except for the fact that he kept falling asleep while I was working on him. I guess that meant that I was doing a good job since he was able to sleep but his mouth kept closing so that made it hard. I put a bite block in and finished him and did an exam on him.

Today my sister came in again. She is a class 1B even though she doesn't brush her teeth very often. She didn't have as much build up as I thought that she would. I got her finished today, I took x-rays last appt. and I am done now with scaling and polishing now.
