Scaling...its what Hygiene is all about.

So im thinking that right about now we have hit the mother load of all mother loads. Its that point in clinic where we have began to learn how to scale. We have been inching our way up to this point and now that we are here it scares the crap out of me!! I feel not so scared with working in the mouth as I use to be. I am not as comfortable at it quite yet, but im sure "with time" i will get there. Oh and did i mention...the PE'S ARE GETTING STACKED UP!! Seriously my life never is anything but stress! I did not pass off any PE's today, which i should have atleast passed off the explorer, but no miss chicken here was freakin out. I still want to practice and get to the point where i feel comfortable, which I am close. So anyways today I just got to learn how to do anterior scaling, worked on the typodonts, and then worked on my dear Erin!! We were laughing so hard today because Mrs. Read thought it would be fun to put her knuckle in my nostril!! haha yes it was that funny! She did not do it on purpose, it just....welll.....kind of happened while she was fulcruming! haha I didnt know what to do so i just breathed in really big and then she realized and began apologizing! We both started laughing, and that pretty much was the highlight of clinic!! Hopefully i did not trauma her gums too much, I'm sure she is ok, but still....I am not a professional yet!!! I am nervous for wednesday, but i have got to get it over with!! Wish me luck!
