productive day

Today I am making up a clinic day. In January I was sick one clinic day so I came today. This morning I saw a new patient. She was a class 2 but I got some bitewings and a few PA's taken and got her all done. I didn't miss any spots so I was very glad. This afternoon I brought in my patient from tuesday (class 3) and I finished her. Professor Hanson gave me some great tips when using the graceys on the buccal of #1,2,and 3. If I use a palm up grasp and put my hand on their cheek I can really get some nice lateral pressure and can really make the storke toward the toe of the instrument. I also did some injections and while doing the IA, I need to be sure to keep the syringe parallel to the occlusal plane at all times. I have a tendency to let the syringe move down as I am injecting. I really liked working with Hanson today.
