I needed a good title for today's post. I won't even tell you what Nate said it should be ;)
Today I did something that is a big no-no. They warn us not to let it happen, but it did. I was totally crushing on my dental patient. Couldn't help myself!
Nate was kind enough to come in and be my guinea pig and was the very first person that I performed a coronal polish on. Brave, right? I don't know who was more nervous.
I ended up with a great score, (I only missed one point) and he has shiny, squeaky clean teeth! I have also assisted on two other people this week. I did much better today than I did yesterday and didn't suck up any one's cheek. It is starting to feel semi-natural to hold the instruments and dig around in other people's mouths. I'm anxiously awaiting the day when this is like second nature to me. And getting a paycheck will be nice too!

I love your English teacup, pinky-up, instrument holding technique! Good work though... falling for your first male patient :)
You guys make a great team.
I was cracking up at my pinky too. Didn't notice it at the time!
LOL...I was going to say the same thing! =]
Way to go, Jen!!!
Wow, you look like you were born to coronal polish! Way to go, and way to be brave Nate!
