FINISHED!!!!!

So today I finished my Class III patient and finished passing off all my PE's. FINALLY!!! I feel very accomplished this semester and I'm really starting to get the hang of things....just in time to head off for summer break :( All in all, I think this semester went very well, and I'm pretty excited for our long break starting next week. I'm a little nervous for next semester just because of the requirements and being able to find the right patients, but I'm sure it will all work out in the end.

Class 3!!!!

I started on my class 3 patient today and got all done with the OD and 2 quads. I'm finishing her up next Wednesday and then I'm all done with my requirements!! I had a pretty easy time working on the mandibular anteriors. I love using my 1/2 Gracey and I was very productive with it this time. I am so excited that I was able to find a class 3 patient and I found out that it's not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.

X-Rays and Screenings

I finished my x-ray requirements today and found my class 3 while doing screenings. I had my grandma come in and it turned out that she was a class 3, but we had to take x-rays to confirm it. She needed 7 PA's, Emily needed 6 and I needed 1 so it worked out perfectly. The instructors classified her as a 3 so I have her coming back on Wednesday. I'm a little nervous, but after I'm done with those 4 quads I'm all done with my requirements for this semester. YAY!!!!
