I was so close to not finishing my patient from today. I think we did a little too much talking. I have got to learn that I need to concentrate on what I am doing inside the mouth. If the patient is talking that keeps me from working. Between the two of us, we just did way too much of that. As we neared the end of the appointment, I pulled out my ultrasonic (which was found) and used that to finish up. He had several areas that seemed like very tenacious calculus. I felt like I was hand scaling on some areas for minutes on end and it just still felt rough. I finally got him finished up though. I was pretty sure I was going to have some areas that I had missed, but miraculously there weren't. I polished him up, applied the fluoride varnish and got him out of there. I was so glad that I got him done and didn't have to ask him to come back for yet another appointment.
I am looking forward to Wednesday. It is a lab day and we don't have patients. It will be a nice break!
