Easy Pleasey...

As my son would say, "Easy Pleasey, Lemon Squeezy."  Monday, October 18th was really interesting.  We started learning how to use a intraoral camera.  I thought that it was going to be the easiest thing in the world to put a small camera into someone's mouth and snap a picture.  Well, I was wrong.  It is very easy in theory, yet to actually do it and get the picture you want is another thing.  I had a hard time stabilizing the camera long enough to take a picture.  I was eventually able to do it, and it is really fun.  We are supposed to take pictures of things inside a patient's mouth to use for patient education purposes as well as for documentation.  That will be a nifty tool to use once we start working on patients.  I was also able to start scaling on anterior teeth today.  That is a BLAST!!!  I practiced at home and got a decent sized chunk of calculus off of my husband's teeth!  Let the calculus fly!
