The Road to RDH: Scaling with Sickles and Universals!

We've had a big few days! We're scaling now!

I got to scale calculus off of Lindsey's front teeth and it was the BEST EVER! It is so crazy to actually see plaque and calculus COMING OFF! The linguals throw me off a little bit with the mirror, just like probing, but I know it will come with time! :) I'm so excited fro the day that I don't even have to think about what I'm doing and it comes naturally!

We are now learning how to scale posteriors! The techniques are similar but also very different! I love school, I love my classmates, and I can't believe I'm actually getting closer to achieving my goal of being a dental hygienist!

The Road to: Halloween at UCDH!

We celebrated our first Halloween twice at UCDH. The first was by having a potluck during lunch and wearing our costumes to school. 




The second was by having a party outside of school! One of the girls in our class has a barn, and her barn was the perfect location! The decorations looked awesome up in the loft, and there was plenty of delicious food! Along with lots of food there was pumpkin decorating, pin the tooth on the pumpkin, doughnut eating contests, and Fear Factor.











We are all getting along really well and I have a feeling this program will go smoothly!
