Today I am finishing Emily, She is the best patient and I got 2 quads scaled last time. Today my goals are

1. Finish the last two quads with no errors
2. S/P and fluoride
3. Pass of the posterior scaling PE
4. Possibly pass of the instrument sharpening PE

I had a lot of errors on my dad last week. This week i want to be a lot better. I need to be more systematic in my areas of scaling and use the explorer on every surface to check for calculus. I still have a hard time feeling calculus and i think it is because i am using to tight of a grasp. I am learning and i will get better

How clinic actually went:
Clinic was great. I got there early and sharpened all my instruments, which i felt helped a ton in scaling. I scaled the remaining 2 quads using a systematic approach and i also used the explorer to check for calculus. I tried to really keep a light grasp which i felt helped. I had no errors and was very happy. I finished an hour early and was able to also pass of the peer review calculus removal PE along with the posterior scaling PE. I wanted to also pass off insturment sharpening but Demmings was busy. great clinic day!
