SCALING!!!!!!

We finally started learning how to scale today!! I was so excited to fianlly start scaling. I was kind of scared at first because they are really sharp instruments, but as I started it was really fun to see the stuff I could get off(even though it wasn't much). I actually felt pretty confident in myself. After practicing a lot with the explorer I think that helped me a lot. Some positions were really awkward and hard to keep the tip-third on the tooth at the correct angle. I wish I could have seen more calculus but my parnter has super clean teeth and I didn't really see any.
I was really excited to start scaling because that just makes me feel like I am really going to be a hygienist! I am so excited to learn all this new stuff, I can just tell that this is the profession for me.
