First PE passed off

Today I passed off my first PE.....Selective Polishing. Don't congratulate me yet...it's pretty easy!! But Professor Wold had me work on holding my suction in my left hand, while holding the prophy paste, and then polishing with my right hand. It was really uncomfortable at first, but I'm going to give it a try and see how it works for me. It was really nice that I didn't have to keep stopping to suction! I have really enjoyed having Professor Wold help me and I'm kinda sad that this is her last week with us....for now. She has helped me work on the lower lingual anteriors, scale the distal of the 2nd molars, work with my suction, and helping me out with my health histories.

  2. Wow she sounds awesome! I never feel like I'm being taught anything at all yet. It makes me nervous and wondering if I'm really doing things right. I would love that kind of advice! I've had 2 instructors so maybe the next one will be different. They've all been great and it's so much more relaxed then last year but it still makes me nervous now that we don't have them watching over our shoulders.
