Why was I so nervous?!

My 13 year-old cousin came in today and he has braces on his maxillary teeth. I was SUPER nervous to use the air-powder polisher but it turned out that he didn't mind at all. He actually liked it better than the prophy cup polishing. Weird!! The only real trouble I had was with the x-rays. I took 4 BWX and neither one of the molars shots went back far enough. I had an instructor come and help me with the re-takes and we still ended up keeping the originals. That has happened to me with both my patients this week, so that was a little frustrating, but at least I shouldn't be marked down cause the originals turned out better. Overall, I thought the appointment went really well.
