Feeling Good

it feels so good to have every thing done in clinic that I have to do. I do not have to stress any more. i have learned years ago if i kick butt in the beginning then most of the time it is a breeze at the end. I took a full mouth of x-rays, which turn out really good. I was happy with the way they turned out b/c my pt is missing a few teeth and every time she would bite the film would move. I realized now that I can not guess the classification of pt's by just talking to them. Lately I have had pt who have had the perio surgery and have not been in for years, but they are still not as bad as I would think they are. And then we get pt's in that are young and say they brush their teeth 2xday and are a class III. ????? I have been enjoying helping my peers find their class III, but it makes me feel really greatful that I was able to find my class III early. I can not believe how hard it is to find Class III and IV. I have been tring to put together a list of pts for next sem. hopefully I get as lucky. I am also greatful for my experience as a dental assistant. I think that it has helped me do as well as I have be doing.
