Finishing a Class II

Monday I finished up my class 2 patient. My goal was to finish him in an hour because I only had the mandibular teeth left to scale, but things didn't go as planned. I had a really bad day with my instructor and it's a very long story, but mainly I just wasn't happy about her making me use the ultrasonic because my patient had a pacemaker, and she knew about it. Plus, I only missed 4 spots of calculus on all the mandibular teeth and I thought that was pretty good for my first class 2. And I was forced to use the ultrasonic after my scale check because of those 4 spots I missed, so I had already done most of the work manually!! She also talked to me about going to fast on a class 2, and I didn't feel like I went that fast. It took me about 25 minutes per quad, and my patient was still there over 2 hours. Overall, it was a very frustrating day!!!
