Mockboard #2

Today was our second mockboard. I was very nervous that my patient would not show,but as soon as I saw her lovely face in the waiting area, I was so excited. I brought her back and explored around a little bit to feel for calculus and then I checked her in. It is always nerve racking when you are waiting to see if they qualify. They brought her back to me and she qualified!! So I did some injections and started scaling away. I probably should have been done sooner than I was but, I tend to use all the time I have. I had 15 minutes left and still needed to probe and check recession. I hurried and probed and marked recession and explored a little bit more to make sure I didn't leave anything, then I checked her out. This is also nerve racking to see if you missed any spots. Well, they brought her back and I missed one stupid spot!! It was even supragingival!! it was on the distal of #10 staring me right in the face. With one swipe of the scaler I got it off and I was finished. So I ended up passing with a 91.5. I missed one probe depth as well. I did better than the last one so I am happy with my results. Overall, another great experience and I am feeling a little more confident for the real boards!!
