Today we practice more OHI case studies to make sure we've got it down. We also went through all our instruments and learned why they look like they do and what we use them for. I was pretty excited because when we first got our instrument issue I was wondering what the differnce between some of them were and why we needed so many. We learned which instruments you use on the anterior, posterior, subgingivally, supragingivally, which have a toe and which have a tip. I am nervous but excited to start using the scalers. I'm excited because this is finally when we get to start actually scraping stuff off teeth. I am nervous because they are poky instruments and probably cause a lot of damage and or pain if used incorrectly. I guess that is why we practice so much so we will be confident and not nervous.
Overall I am way excited and I feel like I am a little closer to being a real hygienist than I did the first week of class. I love this program and I love all the girls in it, they are all so nice and helpfull. I am so glad we have such a fun group!!
