no missed areas

lucky day for me!!!
EXCEPT!!!! I forgot to record zeros for my recession!!!! There was none, so I just left the boxes blank. Knowing full well I wasn't supposed to do that!! I had already left a line blank on the yellow medications sheet, so you'd think I would have remembered NOT TO LEAVE ANYTHING BLANK!! I didn't...
Here is a good example of my patients calculus and how easy it actually was to get off!!
In case you are wondering, this was on the lingual side of tooth #29 (so the tongue side of your second premolar, the third tooth from the back, Candace) and it shouldn't look like that!!! I had already cleaned the other half of my patients mouth and she seems to be brushing much better because not a lot of build up has come back.
All in all, it was a good day.
That came out of your patient's mouth. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteGreat job today. And I don't think you just had a good day. You've got mad skills. I witness it every Tuesday!
What? Am I really the only non-dental person who reads your blog?
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good day...next time do NOT LEAVE ANYTHING BLANK!!
